The Devils targets a defenseman in the first round for the first time since taking Adam Larsson fourth overall in 2011. After some unexpected twists in the first half of the first round, Smith was available for the Devils at No. 17, and they added the offensive-minded defenseman. While his biggest strength is with the puck, he could be a player who develops into a complete top-four blue liner.
