Profile: Reggie Smith - (Rd 3. 75th)
ESPN listed him as a cornerback, but he appears to be much more versatile and can go out there as a safety as well. While he’s his own guy, this pick reminds me a little of Dashon Goldson last year. The upside to these kinds of picks is the ability to create some versatility with your defenders and use them in different packages. Smith is a very athletic and talented defensive back. His stock is aided by his ability to play both cornerback and safety, but there are also concerns about his long-term position.
