He's probably the fastest and most true vertical threat the Rams have at receiver. He showed flashes late last year and into the playoffs that he could potentially be a more affordable alternative to Tutu Atwell's contributions. Smith seems like the obvious and easiest first man out.

Smith's long-speed value offset by receiver depth and special teams concerns.

Smith showed flashes late last season and into the playoffs as a potential more affordable alternative to Tutu Atwell's contributions, with value as the fastest and most true vertical threat the Rams have at receiver. However, the source identifies him as the obvious and easiest first man out given the Rams' depth at receiver (Puka Nacua, Davante Adams, Jordan Whittington, CJ Daniels, Konata Mumpfield) and the need to keep five tight ends for heavier personnel packages, creating a numbers crunch that threatens his roster spot.
