Like several other players in this tier, Smith is a right tackle who provides most of his value in the run game. He’s managed to overcome arms that fall below the traditional length thresholds — just over 32 inches — to rank as the eighth-most valuable tackle in the league since 2018, per PFF WAR.
Smith has come away from each of the last three seasons with a PFF run-blocking grade north of 78.
