But there's a huge difference between Ogubehi's injury and Smith's injury.

It's not just an ACL tear, there are torn ligaments and tissue. These are extremely hard to come back from and certainly easy to re-injure.

I love Jaylon Smith. I want him to be healthy and I think he's the next best linebacker prospect and will be a module for future linebackers to come. But the Bengals have actual needs this year in a few aspects. Although I see Smith falling and it's not hard to understand why. He's going to miss 2016 and there's speculation he's going to miss some of 2017
