Headed to Duval in second round
The Jaguars selected Smith in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 48th overall.
ANALYSIS
Smith was a surprising selection -- something of a recurring theme with GM Trent Baalke whenever he gets out of the first round -- and it wouldn't be shocking if this pick is recalled somewhat bitterly in upcoming years. The case for the LSU tackle is that he's a plus athlete at 6-foot-5, 306 pounds (5.01-second 40-yard dash, 31-inch vertical), and with 35-inch arms, Smith has incredible reach. The problem is that he just wasn't very productive at LSU, starting just his junior season after tearing his ACL his second season and playing off the bench as a freshman. Fellow LSU tackle Mekhi Wingo might prove the better NFL prospect.

Drawing significant interest
Smith has visited with at least 12 different teams ahead of the 2024 NFL Draft, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The LSU defensive tackle suffered an ACL tear early in the 2022 campaign that limited his production when he returned for his final college season, but he still appears likely to get selected in the first round given the amount of interest being shown in him. Smith's size and athleticism could allow him to make an impact against both the run and the pass once he gains more experience and improves his technique.
