The size thing is a bit overblown. A reference point is Chad Johnson, who claims that he played between 175-180 and not his listed 192. Smith is listed at 174, so it comes down to how truthful that is. He is going to weigh in at his Pro Day, so we will get an idea then. If he is in the 170-180 range, then I have no concerns. If he comes in lower than 170, then I think there is a case to be made.
You don’t have to be a big, physical receiver to have success in the NFL. Footwork and release technique can get you out of bump coverage. Regarding Sewell, you take him if he is there. Smith or Chase will not be a bad consolation prize, however.
