I like Smith-Marsette alot actually. I don't know if he can be a #2 but I think he's a good #4 receiver that can push the offense vertically and he's a good returner. Both of those bring value in about the 5th round for me.
He's very linear, which is the bulk of his issues IMO. Not much wiggle. He has to use some pretty severe upper body faking on double-moves and he won't get away with it as much in the NFL. It will really depend on how well he can learn to run routes in the NFL... I suppose that sounds generic as ****. But yeah, he's not going to just blow the doors off the guys at this level. He'll have to do more underneath, but his body is slim. He's not JuJu, nor anywhere near it, from a physical perspective.
