I think that they are different players. Smith is a glider and tends to use his length to cover. Remember that he was basically playing press coverage for the first time this past season which is actually more to his game and I think he's got upside this next season.
McGill has a safety's mentality and was trying to make that switch to CB this past season. But he's a very good player with a tremendous amount of upside.
If you think McGill has problems in tackling, go watch HaHa Dix or Ty Zimmerman - two players I think are very good prospects, but they don't tackle any better (and I'd say worse) than McGill does.
Personally, I though McGill played pretty solid this past season, especially considering the position change.
The UCLA game he covers his man very well, plays the ball and keeps guys in front of him rather than trailing.
I'm not sure what your seeing when you say he's lacadasical.
