Smith had a productive season in 2020 as he finished with five sacks and 23 quarterback hits. Smith got off to a hot start before slowing down, then finishing strong in his final few games. He’s 31-years-old, but Smith doesn’t have the wear and tear that you’d expect since he had missed the 2017-2019 seasons.
Some Niners fans had hoped Smith would finish his career or play another season in the Bay Area. That door likely closed last week once the team brought back Ronald Blair, though I wouldn’t rule out the team adding a veteran pass rusher or player who is still available after the draft.
