Just remember that Jet wasn't exactly a punishing blocker back there.

He succeeded through intelligence and willingness.

Smith CAN get there. Will he? Who knows? But this isn't a situation where we grabbed a 5'9", 170 lb guy to go stand in front of LBs.

Smith is gonna play at 200 lbs. He's not someone who physically won't be able to stand in there and throw a block if he's in the right place at the right time. The tools are there.

So now it's a question of drive and experience.

It may not come early, but there's no reason to think it can't come at all. He can be a legitimate James White sort of 3rd down weapon with a little time. He has the tools and the frame to do it.
