Christopher Smith II’s instincts are already paying dividends

It’s still very early in the process but former Georgia safety and the Las Vegas Raiders’ fifth-round pick from last April’s NFL Draft, Christopher Smith II, is already starting to look like a Day 3 gem.

During the draft, Bleacher Report gave the Raiders an ‘A’ for selecting Smith II 170th overall, and the pick was highly regarded by several other outlets in most post-draft grades and/or analyses. Now that he’s been in the building for a few weeks with rookie minicamp and OTAs, the former Bulldog is starting to receive praise from Las Vegas’ coaching staff as well.
