Aldon Smith -- 4-3/DE -- Missouri - 6-4 - 265 - 4.74/40

Strength
His skill sets dictate his best long term position as a 4-3/DE

He possesses good upfield push off the edge pursuing QB/ ball carrier

Displays good straight line speed


Weaknesses
Lacks multiple position flexibility due to lack of overall agility to play the OLB effectively

Lacks good change of direction (limiting potential impact plays)

Liability versus the run (lacks stoutness at point of attack)

Improved hand technique versus opposing blockers


Summary
Aldon Smith was selected much higher than evaluations dictated. He went 7th overall--when we had him valued as a late 2nd RD value! Though he is an underclassman with a high potential
upside--the bottomline his overall skill sets weren't evidant in him reaching that upside.
