Why would you think Smoot is going to be out of the league soon? He is a top 10 corner plays hard and will play hurt. Now I know there where issues when he left but you can't write off his tallent because you no longer like him. Maybe you have reason to believe he is not very good.

top 10? last year he ended up as the #3 on his own team.

Champ
McAlister
Clements
Winfield
Law
Surtain
Barber
Rolle
Harris
Sheppard
Bly
Madison
Springs
Vasher
Robinson
Lucas
Mathis
Hall
Baxter
Newman
Taylor

so that'd make him about 22. Even if you diagree with some of the names, tossing 12 to bump his name up would be pretty hard to do.
