Fan Sentiment

NegativeNeutralPositive
This is a standard post-draft UDFA signing with minimal immediate roster impact. Multiple headlines confirm Smith was part of a 10-player undrafted rookie batch, not a standalone priority add. The lone positive signal is one outlet calling him a 'productive pass rusher,' suggesting some pre-draft buzz. Fans see this as a camp body move, with Smith needing to outperform veterans just to make the practice squad. He's a long shot to stick, but edge depth makes this a low-risk developmental flier.
