I might be in the minority here, but I'm not a big fan of Z Smith. His motor is hot/cold, his moves are mostly half-assed, and his best trait, imo, is setting the edge vs the run. I think he's better rushing from a 3 tech, and we have enough of that.

I'm not a huge fan. I do think he has some edge ability to rush the passer but he's got that Solomon Thomas tweener thing about him also and he's got T-Rex arms. I prefer my edge rushers to have a little bit longer arms personally. I'd rather get a more pure edge rusher.

I would rather have Smith over Ansah though.

Really surprising ravens let him walk. They usually keep their guys. And this guy didn't break the bank

I was thinking Bud Dupree only bc they went to the same college and drafted the same year just 3 rounds apart but I understand your point lol

This is what I envisioned Solomon Thomas being in the NFL. He can literally rush the passer at a high level from anywhere on the line.

Thomas is more Tyson Alualu vs. anything else right now.

I didn't expect him to be this good. I expected him to continue to play the run well, and I knew he could win inside vs guards, but all he really showed off the edge in Baltimore was speed to power. He looks a lot better in GB. Good for him.

Yeah I totally misjudged this guy. Guy has been a monster this year. You win some, you lose some.
