Edmunds may have more athletic upside, but Smith is the better player at this stage and doesn't need to develop the instincts and recognition that Edmunds does.

Smith is a hair worse as an athlete (though he doesn't have the physical size that Edmunds does) but is significantly more advanced at "being a Linebacker" so I think I'd take Smith over Edmunds.

I’m with you on LB over safety, but I’ll take Edmunds over Smith based on size and potential. Smith is likely a WILL backer while Edmunds could play any of the three spots (hopefully MLB and put an end to our revolving door at the position). We already have Burfict at WILL and that is the easiest spot to find a LB to play well for us. If its my choice I’d rather have the star potential at MLB instead of another WLB which we already have several of
