At least a dozen NFL teams that passed on him from #3 on disagree with ya
Huh? I agree entirely with what SoCalWizFan said. He's exactly spot on. Smith slid to the 2nd round because he was going to be out all year and despite the healing process headed in the right direction, was still a MASSIVE one and a big uncertainty. Otherwise he would've gone top 5.
I agree with him entirely that for Allen's pick this year, teams got caught up in the offensive talent on the board which is no surprise given how little there was of it, in a VERY stacked DL/CB/S draft.
8 of the 16 picks prior to Allen were offensive which is interesting given how much defensive talent was on the board (excluding Garrett since we all basically knew that was the pick). Hooker, Lattimore, and Allen were all projected to be in the top 10 but slid because of exactly what SoCal said.
