D’Ante Smith a surprise or too small to play in the NFL?

It is a very money-ball strategy: Sample, Carmen, and others are not well rounded players but parts of their skill set are elite. D’Ante Smith might fit into that group - when I watch his film I see an undersized but mobile player. My question is how will he be used in this offense and can he play?

He has ideal length and bulked up to 305 lbs, but there are concerns of whether he'll be able to sustain that weight. He for sure needs to build strength.
Definitely a project.

I wouldn't be surprised to see him as the last OT on the depth chart for his rookie year.
