Carolina Panthers Select LB Andre Smith UNC

[bobsfoodbasics]

Coming off an excellent sophomore season, Smith looked to become of the top linebackers in all of college football in 2017. He started the first two games of the year, racking up 21 tackles and an interception, but suffered a season-ending knee injury against Louisville in week two. Despite that, Smith decided he would move on to the next level instead of risking another injury in college. Scouts were impressed with his 2016 play, where he started 12 of 13 games played, compiling 113 tackles, six for loss, and three pass breakups. Smith was a top-20 inside linebacker recruit out of Florida when arriving at UNC, and appeared in all 14 games as a reserve at Sam and Mike (53 tackles, two for loss, one interception, one forced fumble).

Lol.

[LinvilleGorge]

This guy can play and he's another guy who brings attitude and a chip on his shoulder to the field.

Camp / practice squad player. Worth the risk. Can’t expect more than 7 rookies making the team. Include undrafted 

[Paintballr]

God we better hope Addison and Pep can play every down this year 

[Porn Shop Clerk]

It's weird how we're picking up all these attitude guys that we would have looked the other way on in previous drafts.

[KillerKat]

We could've used an upgrade over Jacobs at backup MLB and we just got him. If we intend on carrying 7, we could've used a couple upgrades which we've obtained.

In a way this is a relief, this is solidifying that Hurney won't be back next year.

 

The one year gap of lost talent is nothing compared to getting a competent GM.

This is yet another Hurney staple checked off for those who were counting. "Scrappy local kid to try and win favor with fans."

[OldNorthPowell]

This guy is my dark horse pick for our top rookie outside the 1st round. 

[TheSpecialJuan]

GREAT PICK

Yep

Smith was a very,very good player for Carolina when he played. He missed pretty much all of last season with about 23 other unc players.  Was shocked he declared early and def should have stayed for another season. Good value though for 7th round.
