Round 4 Pick 120: Brandon Smith, LB, Penn State

Probably just a special teams guy next year but he offers a lot of potential. Guy is an athletic freak and he looks the part, definitely the guy you want getting off the bus first.

Decent coverage linebacker with room for improvement, the big thing is cleaning up those missed tackles. He looks like Tarzan and plays like Tarzan which leads to some missed tackles when he’s trying to crack someone.

His issue is processing.  However, a 5 star recruit who probably was always able to get by on his athleticism (like Cam) so his processing is not as developed as someone who needs it to compete.

The details of the trade:

The Washington Commanders traded the 120th pick and 189th pick to the Carolina Panthers for the 144th pick and 149th pick.

This was a good move, Scott Fitterer.

    • We beat Atlanta by 30 in the first meeting
    • The situation here was the doing of David Tepper.  Frank Reich didn't want Young, he wanted Stroud. Stroud fit his QB mold better than Young. So yeah, he didn't design an offense for him. He was lied to by his boss and he didn't want to be here. Would you? It sucks for Young, but as I said, that has nothing to do with his terrible footwork, poor mechanics, his shitty drop backs, fumble issues, not bothering to look off the Atlanta safety that turned into a pick 6 by his own admission. Those were all things that had nothing to do with Frank, the OL or the rest of the team.  And Houston wasn't a complete team. They had the 2nd pick in the draft because they sucked. They built a team and had a damn good HC that I wanted here but he refused Tepper's interview.  Young has been protected in ways no other QB has. Dalton has been kept because he has never been a threat to take the job from Young. We signed him to a 2 year deal this offseason when it was clearly evident we needed an upgrade. For 2m more per year we could have and should have looked at Brissett if we didn't go after Howell, Russell, Winston or anyone else. Anyone else other than Dalton would have been a serious risk to take Young's starting job. If Young hadn't been the 1st overall pick, and been a day 3 pick instead, he would have been cut as a rookie. If he were on any other team as a starter, this message board would be laughing like hell at whoever was starting him for 3 years. That's why this team gets murdered when Young doesn't play. He's been sheltered from ever having to worry about his job and the QB room proves it.  I've been extremely critical of how this team has been constructed the past 3 years, especially on offense. But this whole narrative that Bryce has always been good enough and it's everyone else's fault that he's not succeeding isn't matching up to what he's been putting on the field week in and week out. 
    • He sucks to be honest. He hasn't made much of a difference at all.
