When the Kansas City Chiefs selected former Tennessee offensive lineman Trey Smith in the sixth-round, the pick was immediately labeled one of the biggest steals of the draft — and rightfully so. The 2020 second-team All-American offensive guard did not possess the talent of a typical late-round pick; he was projected to be selected as early as Round 2.
Chiefs fans were and are still excited about getting a great college player at such a low-cost, but there’s two sides to that coin: Smith was not as excited to wait that long for a team’s phone call.
