Cameron Smith NFL Draft 2019: Scouting Report for Minnesota Vikings' Pick

STRENGTHS

—Has above-average instincts that keep him near the action.

—Four-year player for Trojans with more than 75 tackles per season.

NFL-ready frame with long arms and ability to carry anywhere between 230-245 pounds comfortably; reworked his body to be more agile and improve his range.

—Point-of-attack physicality is no concern.

WEAKNESSES:

—Will be exposed to edges vs. backs in man coverage.

—Relies on instincts/size and has to refine technique to shed blockers in between tackles.

—Avoids imminent contact and will take himself out of solid positioning.
