Jaylon Smith Injury: LB is expected to sit out 2016 - what is he worth in the NFL Draft?

If you were Green Bay's GM, how high would you be willing to take a star linebacker who won't play a down this season?

For most of the 2015 college football season, Notre Dame linebacker Jaylon Smith was expected to be one of the first few picks in the 2016 NFL Draft before the Fiesta Bowl against Ohio State, but Smith blew out his knee in that game, putting his rookie season at risk.

At the Scouting Combine, Smith had a barrage of medical tests performed, and the prognosis was not good, according to a variety of team sources.
