I do like DE Will Smith from Ohio State. A solid DE, equally adept at stopping the run and creating a pass rush. Can play some DT as well. But might not be the speed rusher some skins fans are looking for. He looks good to me.

I don't think I agree with you on Udeze-- he's a solid 281 lbs, which is plenty of meat for a frame that measures just under 6-3, and six pounds heavier than the 275 lb Smith. There are plenty of defensive ends in the NFL that play much lighter than that. It's not unusual to see 260-265 lb defensive ends in the NFL.

Udeze could easily move inside and play defensive tackle on passing downs-- he has the quickness and moves to beat guards off the snap, and enough size to hold his own against blockers. In addition, he's a wicked pass rusher from the outside, racking up 24 sacks over his final two seasons at USC. He's a powerful, fundamentally-sound, disciplined tackler who does a good job in pursuit. I don't think there's anything one-dimensional about Udeze at all.
