That's the problem I keep running into w/ our SDE spot, though.

225 at 6'5'' suggests he can get to 240 and maintain a similar play speed. I don't know how you put 15-20 lbs of mass on a 6'1'' dude and expect him to not completely change his body type.

It's a 'clay' thing. Is there enough moldable clay to work with here. Smith is kinda like flipside of the coin to Burr-Kirven to me. Man I really want to find a way to work with that because I like the tenacity and see some raw skills (Kirven as a coverage guy, Smith as a situational rusher) but with both guys I just don't know that I can find a way to make it work.

He was between 250-260lbs at the combine and impressed in testing - as expected. Kid is a stud.
