Nah. Smith is NOT a hb. He has a fringe chance to be a S. Realistically, he is likely to end up a full time wil that doesn’t need to be subbed for a db in the dime pack playing the inside wall and hcf zones. 
 He doesn’t have any of the fluidity needed to be covering guys straight up, nor does he have any of the experience in how to man or match. 
 

Mackonzo, is a real db who can play some lber. He could be a Sam, half, S or wil / dime. 
 

Canadians who can actually cover import WRs are rare. Most Canadian dbs are safety’s who camp out between the hash marks at 15-20 yard depth and play scare crow. Or teams guys to small to back up at lber. 
 

Makonzo, haggerty, Kelly, smith and shay likely mean we flip the wil to ni in the future, and stop having to use a di on a db. Likely meaning we declare 3 Canadians on D. But also having the flexibility to flip more spots, and have really good depth at the same time. 
 

We could even flip wil and Mac to go with Kramdi at Sam for an all Canadian lber core. 

Its too early to say what Smith can or cannot be, currently he seems suited to sam or wil, but thru coaching could be db similar to Griffin.

Haggarty Makonzo,Kelly are all light to be will.

O'Shea said they consider Smith more suited to DB than LB but that was early in TC.

Not true. He isn’t a qb. He isn’t a rb or wr. He isn’t a corner or half. Covering WRs is a specific and extremely demanding skill set. 
 Makonzo is 200 lbs, he can play wil.

he said he had the flexibility and that upside, of playing S or maybe Sam, is worth a lot. But he hasn’t taken reps at either yet.

Oshea also thinks Ayers is a DE....I wouldnt put too much into what he thinks to be honest

Smith would excell at Wil or SAM if allowed to be groomed and developed there.....that being getting live game reps and worked into rotation....

Makonzo was a rising talent at SAM before he got hurt in Edm...If and when healthy he'd be a huge addition as he would be a better SAM than Kramdi...as he already was in hbis time in Edm, or used in Griffin's role and allow Griffin to be on field 95% of snaps

Part of our issues with depth and nobody in the hopper...the reluctance to work guys in and develop

Makonzo can’t stay healthy so I’d forget about him. 2 years ago was the last time he was healthy.

Shut your mouth.  Top SAM in league on worst defense all-time.
