[Steel Hurtin]

Name: Jimmy Smith
School: Colorado
Height: 6’2”

40 Yard Dash: 4.49

He's got the size and speed to make an impact in our defensive, plus the physicality to keep on the Steelers tradition of run stopping corners.

Sounds like he could fit in Pittsburgh hopefully we will get a shutdown corner in the draft.

IMO, that doesn't seem overly fast for a CB. seems rather average. i don't want to see the steelers reach for a CB in the first who isn't high caliber

Weaknesses:
• Doesn't play quite as fast as he runs in shorts
• Not explosive, lacking a burst to recover and close
• Is high-cut and doesn't flip hips or transition well
• Will need to polish technique and footwork
• Will gamble and is too aggressive at times
• Didn't make a ton of impact plays in college

sounds sort of like mcfadden.
