@@dillonh9419 I’m in the same camp. This guy missed massively. Strong opinion sports not only admitted he was wrong but also said his experience scouting Herbert has completely changed how he evaluates qbs. THAT is what it would take to make me believe this guy isn’t a total clown.
“Had trouble with Georgia’s press coverage” DeVonta Smith vs Georgia. 11 catches for 167 and 2TDs. Shows Press vs Miss St. DeVonta Smith vs Miss St. 11 catches for 203 and 4TDs. Texas A&M did a good job holding him to 6 catches for 63 Yards and a TD. But if that’s a bad game I’ll take it. Not to say you don’t have a point. Just to put it into context that it didn’t stop his ability to absolutely dominate those games.
We're looking for traits over production. If he had trouble with press in the game, that's more important than how good his final stat line was (from an NFL talent perspective). Not trying to diminish what DS did for Bama
@@AlexRollinsNFL I get that. PFF has DeVonta Smith as the top rated WR vs press coverage (score of 94.0). So, depending on how you view PFF, he does well against a majority of press. Can you find instances here and there? Probably (probably can for any WR) but the only pass catcher to rank higher vs. press was 6’6 240lb Kyle Pitts (97.0).
@@KevinKolbGOAT He's faster than people think. His gait is special in how he sets up the defender with a sudden long stride. He should have been the 1st receiver off the board. Hopefully, Hurts continues to improve as a passer so Smith can dominate.
@@vsauce4678 but waddle is shorter and fast. Corners have more trouble dealing with guys like smith because of the route running. Speed isn't just smith game he can separate in the middle of his route, he can adjust if the qbs throws a bad ball and have the toughness to go up and get a contested ball. Waddle has speed but speed doesn't only do it in the NFL. There are many speedster and track stars and they all don't translate if the can't run the route tree. Waddle isn't a better route runner than smith. This guy won a heisman as a receiver. Soon as waddle went down he became even more elite gotta respect him
Devonte has proven his worth at the highest level of college football since he was a true freshman. His size will only be an issue to the coach who doesn't know how to use him.
Don't bother giving this douche any credit. He guaranteed Herbert would be a bust and refuses to make a video acknowledging he's wrong and analyzing how great of a season Herbert had. All of these TH-cam "scouts" can't properly admit they were wrong about Herbert like Brett Kollmann, Strong Opinion Sports, and this guy. They'll spend hours making a video to shit on him but can't make a quick video on the greatest rookie QB season in NFL history.
@@shdhfgrtdych360 They've all come out multiple times and said they were wrong on Herbert, especially Kollmann and SoS, so this weird manufactured hate is super bizarre. It's a fact that Herbert was a mess coming out of Oregon, it's also a fact that he had a great rookie year, but to act like everyone had him penciled in as the ROY or QB1 at the start of the year is stupid AF, since literally nobody was saying this. If you need ANOTHER highlights video about your QB to make you feel good then make it yourself lmao. They're not making content to appeal to one fanbase, and a video about that would literally just be a chargers and ducks fan circle jerk that teaches nothing to most of their viewers. They've taken the lessons learned from Herbert and implemented them for the new breakdowns, which is exactly what you should do when your profile isn't accurate.
Herbert was a completely different qb that clearly shows that Oregon is a mess at developing qbs. During Hard Knocks Herbert didn’t even continue though his reads during practice which for qbs past the high school level is practically day 1 stuff. Every thing on tape was an inconsistent mess, the hidden mysteries of situations and behind the curtain info is what makes 20% of scouting a guessing game. Cause you can be a great scout and be right 80% of the time but for every Mahomes you get right there’s always a Justin Gilbert, Herbert, Isaiah Wilson (who was over drafted, but no one expected him to not care about football). Zay Jones had the most production in CFB ever and had smooth routes and Dorial green Beckham and Justin Blackman were unstoppable at college it didn’t change the fact that they were WR4’s in the pros on any given day. For every 10 Herbert prospects you draft you are gonna end up with 9 or 10 Trubisky’s most qbs that ineffective at college will be out of the league in 4 years not winning ROTY. Small sample size makes anyone stupid. Just cause the civil war was a positive for society doesn’t mean all war is.
These kids coming out of college are built different. Fundamentally sound. Excellent video. Suggestion: mock draft video in a month or so from you would be dope.
He gonna be a beast he has a 6ft 6in wing span and huge hands so he plays taller then he is, he has good speed and and amazing change direction and has excellent body control . Runs routes like nfl vet. He may like have the size but the skill sets he does have more then make up for it and I think will have a great career
@@emilegriffith1473 Can y'all stop with this why didn't he gain weight in college shit. Every player(person*) is smaller in their teens and early 20s unless they were fat and lost weight
You do know that Alabama’s facilities are better than every single nfl franchise right? He has been on a program for 4 years. He will fill out some with age but he isn’t going to blow up. It’s his genetics. He is strong af for his size. He won’t have a problem in the nfl
Meh I think the size question may be overblown. DeSean Jackson was a small receiver and he has almost 11k career receiving yards. AB was 180-185 at the most and he turned into a solid pro (for the most part). Marvin Harrison was 180 when he played and he’s a HoFamer. And these guys played when cornerbacks can still press at the line with impunity. Devonta Smith will be fine.
Yeah but is rare Devonte is a beast but if you want a reciever who is nfl ready that would be chase or waddle but Dont mind getting devonte he will be a problem in a few years if he gets more muscle
I do this full time, each one takes about 55 hours to make, so 1 a week is as much as I can get to. Check out my older stuff for OZ talk, the Derrick Henry one goes deep!
Highest passer rating when targeted by season (FBS only) 2020 DeVonta Smith - 152.6 2019 DeVonta Smith - 152.5 2018 CeeDee Lamb - 145.2 2017 AJ Brown - 143.9. Just a sample of what PFF post. These numbers show he wins early and often against any coverage.
Leaders in yards per route vs. man coverage in 2020: 1. DeVonta Smith (6.65) .. 2. Kadarius Toney (3.64. Smitty is a beast. He is very versatile, he plays slot and outside and is motioned alot. I can post a stat on that as well. Respect your craft but, bad take.
I reminds me of devonte adams and Michael Thomas both good route runners with good hands a lot smaller frame when they came out of college but similar and underrated after the catch runners
Welp, as you can see, Devonta is LEGIT. From watching him in college I saw that he didn’t destroy due to physical attributes. Coming into the league he was already one of the best route runners in football. He is a natural catcher with his hands. Marvin harrison, issac Bruce were also small too.
Not only did Smith get a good read on that RPO at about 10:01, but that ref did too, he absolutely knew when the throw was coming in hot and it was time to duck out of the way. Someone needs to sign that ref up, great reaction time!
The sail is basically what the niners run alot. Smith and Aiyuk would be indistinguishable making deciphering which side the sail is running impossible
Y'all are so focused on his size like NFL CB's are 7 feet tall 250 lb's. He's literally one of the best receivers to come out of college in a long time. I'd rather hear guys talk about his lack of speed or how most of his highlights are intermediate routes than his size.
In my opinion he is the best receiver in the draft his route running is excellent he has good speed and hands also good after the catch big corners in press may affect him but coaches know how to get the ball to their playmakers and his weaknesses are an easy fix put 15-20 pounds on him and weight about 185-190 pounds with his route running and speed big corners won’t be a problem for him at all
Separate but burning question: I don't get the bama RPO play you broke down near the end. Mac Jones the QB doesn't read anything? His back is turned at the meshpoint and he immediately throws. Where is the option part of the play? Is it just choosing run/pass without reading the defense?
I had to ask a coach about it to make sure, cause I agree, everything looks like RPO except Mac's read. I believe he read it out pre snap and saw the rotation presnap, so he made the decision. But you're certainly right, not a typical RPO read
To be fair all of his analysis was correct, Herbert corrected an incredible amount of his technical issues over the offseason and showed confidence and poise that is rare for a rookie, not saying he wasn’t wrong, he was, but his analysis was sound
@@bigricebowl3260 I’m not saying ANYTHING about the analysis, but when you start making claims about • “MUST sit him for a year • “Overdrafted bust” • “Not first round talent” When the guy HAD shown what he had shown, not thinking about WHAT his issues were caused by, then you look like a clown. Sometimes these “analysts” don’t look at the full picture, just what they’re bad at and what they’re good at. Not WHY they’ve got a problem, HOW this can be replicated in the NFL.
If all things are equal I'll take a guy 6'4" and 225 lbs. Problem is I haven't seen a college receiver where everything else is equal. He can catch everything he can touch and makes an absolute joke out of angles defenders take. Plus he's a good kid and won't be a problem in the locker room like a whole lot of primadonnas are.
That’s reasonable but in this draft class a Chase and Pitts and Waddle are all physically dominant and similar dudes that just make plays. All had similar production at certain times based on their situations. No one is saying Smith is a bust cause I’d be extremely shocked if he is. But chase, Pitts and waddle all have the higher upside and similar day 1 ability.
@@vsauce4678 I have nothing against those 3 players. In fact Pitts is probably the biggest matchup problem depending on scheme, and Waddle would be the best choice if you also needed a punt returner. I would like to see Waddle run and have my doctors check him before the draft because the last time we did see him he was playing on one leg. Hopefully he is fine now.
Devonte maybe small but he is tough thats what you like to see in a wr and hes a reliable target and very balanced and because of that i feel he is the safest wr to take
positional flexibility? do you know how creative nfl offenses are nowadays? put devonta on the saints or chiefs offense and he would win a couple of mvps in his career
🤮 that boy Smitty. Is something seriously dangerous when it comes to his route running. And so many different concepts of route running knowing how to slow play hop step. I was so blessed that he is on my team. And would have been sick if the New York football Giants would have drafted him. And have to face him two times a year.🦅
If he is LESS than 170...forget about it. I wouldnt touch him. How many of these WRs bust in the league? Peter warrick. Desmond howard. Rocket ismail. John ross. Tavon austin. Troy williamson. Donnie avery. Sinorice moss. Roscoe parrish. List goes on
I think his size will be an issue at first as he gets acclimated to the speed and physicality of the NFL but will settle in nicely as the year goes on.
I think we’re getting to a point where size for a WR can be overrated. Imo I think with how spread out the game is for the most part now, as long as Smith goes to a place where they know how utilize his strengths (motions, putting him in WR stack formations) he should be fine. However I would be shocked if we don’t see him at least 15-20 pounds heavier from his bama Playing weight in year 2 of the NFL at the latest.
I feel like with time, he can hit the weight room and get his weight up. He will struggle with his size his first couple seasons but with time he can get his weight up
Bama has the #1 strength and conditioning staff in the nation. If he didn’t gain weight during his 4 year tenure there, its unlikely he does it any better on the outside.
@@prod.snorkle2906 I think that depends on what he was working on and if he took working out seriously. He seems to be the type that knows he can get by on athleticism. 15-20lbs tho would help a ton. 165lb WRs get clobbered in the NFL. 1 good press corner and he's not doing anything
I actually don't know if scouts are great. Someone on here said scouts for the most part get it right. This is what I want to know, are they getting it right with top guys or guys who are sleepers? In my eyes it's easy to say a guy isn't going to do good if he wasn't that great In college or if he lacks some physical traits I want to see scouts get 3rd rounders and later round picks right. That to me will lmk if they're good scouts. I'm even gonna go as far as the combine probably should stop being held.
Professional NFL front office guys don't always get it right, but they get it right at a much, much, much higher % than anybody outside of the league. Scouting has a low % hit rate, but their's is much higher than anybody elses
It’s not just his lack of size, it’s his lack of speed and injury history. Compare him to a typical safety like peppers. Peppers is 50lbs heavier than smith and a solid 2 steps faster. Peppers would not only be able to run with him, he would snap him in half if he touches him. Smith was a great college player, he will be a dud in the nfl.
@Mike Quick wow what a dumb comment. Dk metcalf in no way lacks speed, people questioned his route running but he is twice the man smith is. Hollywood brown has been nothing but a disappointment, ravens fans don’t even want him on the team. Such a dumb comment.
Hes 6ft tall, he can put on weight for his height. If he put on 10-20 lbs he would be about the same size as Tyreek Hill (even taller) who obviously has been extremely productive in the NFL.
I actually would start him in the slot as a rookie and have him off ball as much as possible. Think he'll be a high level WR but he isn't going to be elite unless he changed his body and play strength
Are you worried about him getting blown up on a few in cuts from the slot? That's my concern, I have no doubts he'd excel from that position but it would raise the risk of him getting injured imo
@@AlexRollinsNFL Considering how the NFL protect players on in breaking routes more then in college or the past it's less of a concern say 10 years ago. I believe he would be a great fit with a team like Miami. Trees for outside threats that are risky to not have have help over top giving him (Smith) free reign underneath. However, he isn't the WR that I think can be a top 5 player at the position as you have to protect him too much (At least currently)
He can gain 10 lbs and be fine. That's not a ton of weight. I think he's good enough to where it doesn't matter. Plus he has decent height, It's not like he's 5'9"
I can’t stand when I hear about size fucc all dat if your good your good size doesn’t really matter at that point plus he’s a receiver he’s not supposed to be 200+ pounds🤦🏿♂️
I still would take Sewell at 3 though 😂😂 Don’t get me wrong, Smith is a beast but you can move Hunt back to guard and have a stacked O-line for years to come, either way Miami is on a phenomenal position anyone they take at 3 has the potential to be a stud
Why everyone acting like he can’t put on muscle the man has a whole year before his nfl career starts. I’m sure teams will put him on some type of weight plan
His size isn’t going to matter. The rules have changed to favor receivers. Years ago when you could punish receivers for coming over the middle…might be a problem. In today’s game it isn’t going to matter And he killed Georgia and A&M Not sure what you are talking about

*drafted by the Eagles*
Everyone: Wow, he's so small no way he'll be good
Well
Look at the CAREERS of Cliff Branch n Fred Bilietnikof n Drew Pearson...UNDER-sized Under weight n HALL OF FAMERS...
The sail is basically what the niners run alot. Smith and Aiyuk would be indistinguishable making deciphering which side the sail is running impossible
Great video as always...
Thanks brother!!
9:30 that's his basketball background coming into play. Its a crossover minus the basketball
Just like Davante!
@@AlexRollinsNFL EXACTLY
I am always a fan of the small guy, I would not pick him before 20
Y'all are so focused on his size like NFL CB's are 7 feet tall 250 lb's. He's literally one of the best receivers to come out of college in a long time. I'd rather hear guys talk about his lack of speed or how most of his highlights are intermediate routes than his size.
In my opinion he is the best receiver in the draft his route running is excellent he has good speed and hands also good after the catch big corners in press may affect him but coaches know how to get the ball to their playmakers and his weaknesses are an easy fix put 15-20 pounds on him and weight about 185-190 pounds with his route running and speed big corners won’t be a problem for him at all
At first I thought nfl dietitians and strength programs would get him right but if Alabama cant beef him up I dont know if nfl teams can
Trust me they can. He's going to go on the 8 meal 6k calories plan
I just think he’s a guy who’s frame won’t allow him to hold much weight. I think he’s strong for his size tho so its not really a huge problem
@@1Eashawty it’s a huge problem. He is frail and those toothpick calf’s are going to snap before he plays half a season.
That's the worry, he didn't gain any weight in all his time at Bama
I'd still love to see a video done on Jessie Bates
Best safety in the league
Separate but burning question:
I don't get the bama RPO play you broke down near the end.
Mac Jones the QB doesn't read anything? His back is turned at the meshpoint and he immediately throws.
Where is the option part of the play? Is it just choosing run/pass without reading the defense?
Yes it is still RPO it's different ways to run it.
@@antoineanderson1523 What are the two options and who are you reading?
@@eugenepoon depends on the play. It can be many different reads. That's why RPO is so effective.
I had to ask a coach about it to make sure, cause I agree, everything looks like RPO except Mac's read. I believe he read it out pre snap and saw the rotation presnap, so he made the decision. But you're certainly right, not a typical RPO read
@@AlexRollinsNFL Thanks Alex, always appreciate the interactions
Y’all realize he’s gonna be bigger once they get him on the protein meals ? He is training in the NFL NOW. N besides it doesn’t matter about his size
i think those NFL weight programs will beef him up, i would bet season one won’t be a great season for him but season two or three he’ll explode
Bingo marquise brown wass 166 coming in year 1 but year 3 hes like 180 now
I don’t think I’ll ever believe what this guy says about college players after what he said about Herbert
To be fair all of his analysis was correct, Herbert corrected an incredible amount of his technical issues over the offseason and showed confidence and poise that is rare for a rookie, not saying he wasn’t wrong, he was, but his analysis was sound
@@bigricebowl3260 I’m not saying ANYTHING about the analysis, but when you start making claims about
• “MUST sit him for a year
• “Overdrafted bust”
• “Not first round talent”
When the guy HAD shown what he had shown, not thinking about WHAT his issues were caused by, then you look like a clown.
Sometimes these “analysts” don’t look at the full picture, just what they’re bad at and what they’re good at. Not WHY they’ve got a problem, HOW this can be replicated in the NFL.
Devonta has the build of marvin Harrison in the 6 foot 170 pound range he will be fine if he makes it to 180 or 190 he will be perfect imo
I hope my phins pick up allen Robinson for wr2 and get smith for the slot that would be the dream
If all things are equal I'll take a guy 6'4" and 225 lbs. Problem is I haven't seen a college receiver where everything else is equal. He can catch everything he can touch and makes an absolute joke out of angles defenders take.
Plus he's a good kid and won't be a problem in the locker room like a whole lot of primadonnas are.
That’s reasonable but in this draft class a Chase and Pitts and Waddle are all physically dominant and similar dudes that just make plays. All had similar production at certain times based on their situations. No one is saying Smith is a bust cause I’d be extremely shocked if he is. But chase, Pitts and waddle all have the higher upside and similar day 1 ability.
@@vsauce4678 I have nothing against those 3 players. In fact Pitts is probably the biggest matchup problem depending on scheme, and Waddle would be the best choice if you also needed a punt returner. I would like to see Waddle run and have my doctors check him before the draft because the last time we did see him he was playing on one leg. Hopefully he is fine now.
If you can play, you can play
Let’s get it
Size
What ..?
6’1 178lbs I think he is ok.. excellent route runner, fast, agile
No issues here
Look at
Edelman, woods, Beasley, Diggs
He is OK 👍
They always 190+ besides Beasley. I'm not positive DS even cracks 170!
Devonte maybe small but he is tough thats what you like to see in a wr and hes a reliable target and very balanced and because of that i feel he is the safest wr to take
He is not the safest believe that chase and waddle are more nfl ready bro
Me reading the title....
“Lol”
Have you seen this man, he is one of the fastest and best route running
Devonte is not the first small receiver that has been a Raider. Please remember that Fred Biletnicoff was also small as well as Cliff Branch.
Already got the Jersey Slim Reaper gonna kill it \m/
First! Had to like it b4 I watched it! 😤. Great video ahead of time
#DraftSZN
Thanks brother!!
positional flexibility? do you know how creative nfl offenses are nowadays? put devonta on the saints or chiefs offense and he would win a couple of mvps in his career
🤮 that boy Smitty. Is something seriously dangerous when it comes to his route running. And so many different concepts of route running knowing how to slow play hop step. I was so blessed that he is on my team. And would have been sick if the New York football Giants would have drafted him. And have to face him two times a year.🦅
he's not the biggest now but you gotta remember that he'll get buffer when he gets drafted
If he is LESS than 170...forget about it. I wouldnt touch him. How many of these WRs bust in the league? Peter warrick. Desmond howard. Rocket ismail. John ross. Tavon austin. Troy williamson. Donnie avery. Sinorice moss. Roscoe parrish. List goes on
dudes a Tom Brady version of a receiver
He reminds me of a Amari Cooper type, but I’d take a dominate wr like Chase, Pitts and Waddle over an elite wrs 2 build.
I think his size will be an issue at first as he gets acclimated to the speed and physicality of the NFL but will settle in nicely as the year goes on.
I think we’re getting to a point where size for a WR can be overrated. Imo I think with how spread out the game is for the most part now, as long as Smith goes to a place where they know how utilize his strengths (motions, putting him in WR stack formations) he should be fine. However I would be shocked if we don’t see him at least 15-20 pounds heavier from his bama Playing weight in year 2 of the NFL at the latest.
DeVonta Smith is 🔥
He will bulk up to 180 in the NFL. TY Hilton is 5'10 183 but ran a 4.3. it all depends on what he runs at his size unfortunately.
I feel like with time, he can hit the weight room and get his weight up. He will struggle with his size his first couple seasons but with time he can get his weight up
Bama has the #1 strength and conditioning staff in the nation. If he didn’t gain weight during his 4 year tenure there, its unlikely he does it any better on the outside.
@@prod.snorkle2906 I think that depends on what he was working on and if he took working out seriously. He seems to be the type that knows he can get by on athleticism. 15-20lbs tho would help a ton. 165lb WRs get clobbered in the NFL. 1 good press corner and he's not doing anything
Philly GOT A Gem!
He's going to be an instant impact player. As long as he makes correct reads that eliminate taking unnecessary shots, he'll be a problem for 10yrs.
His size was never an issue in college. He played against some big men.
Best hands in football
Plus his routes are nasty who is going to guard him 🌊
I actually don't know if scouts are great. Someone on here said scouts for the most part get it right. This is what I want to know, are they getting it right with top guys or guys who are sleepers? In my eyes it's easy to say a guy isn't going to do good if he wasn't that great In college or if he lacks some physical traits I want to see scouts get 3rd rounders and later round picks right. That to me will lmk if they're good scouts. I'm even gonna go as far as the combine probably should stop being held.
Professional NFL front office guys don't always get it right, but they get it right at a much, much, much higher % than anybody outside of the league. Scouting has a low % hit rate, but their's is much higher than anybody elses
i think its evident by now size doesnt matter in the nfl.
finally someone that thinks the same way
It’s not just his lack of size, it’s his lack of speed and injury history. Compare him to a typical safety like peppers. Peppers is 50lbs heavier than smith and a solid 2 steps faster. Peppers would not only be able to run with him, he would snap him in half if he touches him. Smith was a great college player, he will be a dud in the nfl.
@Mike Quick wow what a dumb comment. Dk metcalf in no way lacks speed, people questioned his route running but he is twice the man smith is. Hollywood brown has been nothing but a disappointment, ravens fans don’t even want him on the team. Such a dumb comment.
Amazing prospect but elite traits of Chase, Pitts and waddle would be my picks above Smith.
ok now i understand film
Hes 6ft tall, he can put on weight for his height. If he put on 10-20 lbs he would be about the same size as Tyreek Hill (even taller) who obviously has been extremely productive in the NFL.
Yeah but if he put on weight he can also get slower
I actually would start him in the slot as a rookie and have him off ball as much as possible. Think he'll be a high level WR but he isn't going to be elite unless he changed his body and play strength
Are you worried about him getting blown up on a few in cuts from the slot? That's my concern, I have no doubts he'd excel from that position but it would raise the risk of him getting injured imo
@@AlexRollinsNFL Considering how the NFL protect players on in breaking routes more then in college or the past it's less of a concern say 10 years ago.
I believe he would be a great fit with a team like Miami. Trees for outside threats that are risky to not have have help over top giving him (Smith) free reign underneath.
However, he isn't the WR that I think can be a top 5 player at the position as you have to protect him too much (At least currently)
He can gain 10 lbs and be fine. That's not a ton of weight. I think he's good enough to where it doesn't matter. Plus he has decent height, It's not like he's 5'9"
4:22 no. That was his route. He did nothing special except come back on the ball
Please do a review of Jaylen Waddle and compare him and Smith. Please please please.
Antonio Brown without the craziness.....
yet. Just need some more NFL conco's
I can’t stand when I hear about size fucc all dat if your good your good size doesn’t really matter at that point plus he’s a receiver he’s not supposed to be 200+ pounds🤦🏿♂️
Hey man big fan, do u think u can do a Mac Jones or Kyle pitts breakdown
Thanks Julia! I'll definitely get to Pitts predraft, not sure about Mac. But I could see doing him after the draft
I think he is a very good WR but I like Chase better he reminds me of Larry Fitz
C’mon man..DeVonta Smith is a proven beast.. through out college,,Heisman trophy😳🤣👍👍..him and Tua in Miami will break and set records 💪👏👏
I still would take Sewell at 3 though 😂😂 Don’t get me wrong, Smith is a beast but you can move Hunt back to guard and have a stacked O-line for years to come, either way Miami is on a phenomenal position anyone they take at 3 has the potential to be a stud
Why everyone acting like he can’t put on muscle the man has a whole year before his nfl career starts. I’m sure teams will put him on some type of weight plan
Cause he didn't put on any in his 4 years at Alabama which has one of the best training programs in the country
His size isn’t going to matter. The rules have changed to favor receivers. Years ago when you could punish receivers for coming over the middle…might be a problem. In today’s game it isn’t going to matter
And he killed Georgia and A&M
Not sure what you are talking about
