But yeah, we're not picking him...Will McDonald it is.

It's not as much about size as it is about talent IMO. Nate Herbig is 3x the pass rusher Smith is and just as good of a LB. They are very similarly sized. If we want to go the route of a small pass rusher, yeah give me Herbig 7 days a week over Smith. And the bigger problem is that Herbig is being graded as a late 2nd to middle 3rd pick. Does playing for Georgia, who had way more supporting talent, trump playing for Wisconsin? I think not. Smith should be graded lower than Herbig. Just because he played for Georgia means jack and shit to me. If anything it makes me like him less because they come out so ill-prepared for the pros with regularity.
