Probably so but do we know if the team doctors signed off on the medical for Smith . Apparently since so many passed on him his medical was an issue.
Favorite play of the year...go

- Start date
we're officially back to agreeing!
and keep in mind, KC's braintrust was not the Wizards of Smarts either; they just got to a point that the risk of a lost pick in the 6th (which is like a 70% chance of not making a good team anyway) + the salary cap hit of that lost pick was so low that it made sense for them.
Went to Houston for Shaq Lawson
Another wasted pickup
Smith was a beast at Tennessee, but the blood clot/lung issue was a very serious issue that caused him to miss a portion of the 2018 season. There was serious concern and questions as to whether he'd ever be able to play without life threatening consequences. However he did come back but he wasn't able to practice and only suited up for games. He was still very effective which tells you something about his talent. I understand completely why teams stayed away and don't blame them. Smith is a great kid and I hope the issues are behind him and he has a HOF career. Hindsight is always 20/20.
