Preston Smith

With the Falcons needing a pass rusher like they did, had they picked a RB and then picked Preston Smith in the second round they would have been crucified on this board AND around the NFL. Let's face it. It's always easy to draft a couple of years AFTER a draft. How many on here or in the NFL could have seen Preston Smith doing what he did? I mean, it looks like there were around 40 people picked ahead of him, so the Falcons were not the only ones surprised by his production. And honestly.....I LOVE Todd Gurley and wish he were a Falcon. But with his injury history he scared me, too.
