PS: I have judged Smith on stats. His stats show that Tavon Austin inflated his numbers taking throws behind the LOS 10 yards upfield time and time again.

Because he rushed the passer something like 75% less than Jarvis Jones but had similar production from a per-attempt standpoint. His sack rate is actually really, really high, because he rarely rushed the passer. He's outstanding in coverage and was essentially a nickel back on some plays.
When he DID rush the passer, he was extremely effective, but the sheer numbers aren't there in the total column to wow people.
You like that? I just regurgitated a ton of shit I've heard. Welcome to draft week!
