This was my first time seeing DE Wyatt Smith (STA) live and I'm riding shotgun with @gogeta4 on the bandwagon. Smith is 6'6, 220, with long arms, strong hands, and a very projectable frame. All the movement stuff looked easy, and he was winning his 1on1s before exiting with a minor injury. His dad was Justin Smith (49ers/Mizzou) so he has first-round bloodlines. This reminded me of watching TE Mason Taylor four years ago in the same setting- it was easy to see the genetics kicking in. Smith is currently unranked but should blow up soon.
I'm a big believer in the value of camps. No, it's not real football. But camps are a great opportunity to observe physical traits and competitive makeup. Everybody is gathered in one place, which allows you to compare position groups to each other, in person. It also makes it easier to compare classes over the years.
This year, I thought the offensive line group was as good as its been in a while. Defensive line looked pretty good. On the other hand, the defensive back group was as thin as it's been in years. The wide receiver group (which wasn't particularly special) outnumbered the DBs...
