There's never fear about Jaylon Smith's talent. Whether the Redskins and others should draft him early despite serious knee injury concerns is the question.
Nobody ever complained about getting value in the NFL Draft. Depending on the medical situation involving the shredded left knee of Jaylon Smith, some team may get just that if they select the Notre Dame linebacker.
Smith appeared locked into a top-5 pick before he suffered the brutal injury in the Fiesta Bowl against Ohio State. Players come back from knee injuries all the time and surgical advancements seemingly don't seriously hurt a player's draft stock.
