Smith is a young DB getting a real chance after a waiver claim. His first job is to be assignment-sound, run on special teams and learn every inch of the defense. If the size and movement skills translate, he can earn a larger role over time.
Strengths: Length for the secondary, youth, development potential and special-teams upside.
Weaknesses: Rookie learning curve and no established NFL résumé.
