Here's a scouting report on Smith from NFLDraftCountdown.com's Scott Wright. Smith's weaknesses according to Wright:

Not very quick or explosive...May struggle to separate in the pros...Still has some work to do in the route running department...Does not use his hands well...Not a finished product and still needs to work on mastering the nuances of the position.

Interesting profile of Smith by ESPN.com's Chris Low. Smith's mother died of a brain aneurysm during his senior season, but that wasn't the first time he faced tragedy:

His father had never been a part of his life. His oldest brother, Maurice, had already been dead for 13 years. He was shot and killed near the San Diego apartments they lived in while riding his bicycle. Smith was only 9 at the time, and it was the start of a tragic seven-month stretch in 1994 that taught him at a young age how fleeting life can be. Maurice's drive-by shooting occurred in March of that year. His grandmother (Sheila's mother), Barbara Lewis, died in August of cancer. A day after her funeral, Smith's uncle, William Lewis, was shot and killed following an argument just down the street from where they all grew up. The only reason he was in town was to bury his mother. Smith has a second brother, Alex, who's currently in prison and isn't scheduled to be released until later this year.

"I know she's watching, so I'm not about to take any plays off, whether it's a game or a practice," Smith said of his mother in the article. "I can feel her right there on my shoulder. I know she'll always be with me."

Here's an article from The Albuquerque Tribune about Smith. It talks about how he didn't start playing football until the ninth grade and was originally recruited as a running back:

When Smith arrived, he found a crowded field of running backs, led by star DonTrell Moore, stealing all the playing time he wanted. "I was mad," he said. "I pouted, I got angry, I wanted to give up. I thought I deserved to have the ball in my hands, and I couldn't let go of the idea that I was the star." Smith wanted to quit when UNM coaches moved him to wide receiver, but his mother told him to stick with the Lobos.

And finally, a breakdown from The Sun:

2007 statistics: 91 catches, 1,125 yards, four touchdowns.

Strengths: Good size and speed, ideal for a slot receiver in the NFL. Also can play on special teams right away.

Weaknesses: Experience. Started his college career as a running back, so like Cousins, he's still learning how to play his position.
