Welcome to Houston Jaylin Smith

I was very happy Nick drafted Patterson but this is the happiest I have felt about a draft pick since landing Stroud and Anderson.

Higgins is going to be extremely good although I do not understand the fully guaranteed contract but no problems with it due to amount.
 
This was probably the most criticized selection in this year’s class. But given the retirement of Darby and Ward’s recent arrest, this pick is looking much clearer going into camp. Knowing what we know now it makes sense to spend a top 100 pick on a CB for depth and development reasons.

I am excited to see Smith in camp and preseason. Hopefully we wont need to see him much in the regular season outside of ST, but if needed he’ll be ready.

They also brought in Arnette. Regardless of what you think of him, if his head is screwed on right he's a really talented player.

"The swarm is strong in this one."

I want to see more DB blitzes
 
I know this post is going to be a little off topic, but I believe Smith will be a good depth piece for this defense. The biggest issue we had last year was no depth on defense. Once we lost Pitre, then Ward, we had no other players to play that unique position in the defense. From what I heard from media that attended rookie, voluntary and mandatory minicamp, they stated that Smith is being groomed for the Pitre/Ward role. Going to be interesting if they keep Ward on the roster and if he can even play this year. I wonder if they will find another player to fit that role if Ward isn't going to be here.

CJGJ is also somewhat a younger version of Ward. Deep safety who likes to hit hard and who’s done some of his best work playing a slot/box safety role.

Arnette and I'm not convinced that Ward will be cut.
