"Devin Smith is the best vertical route-runner in college football, as he does an excellent job of tracking the ball and using his body to establish positioning. He was at his best with Cardale Jones at QB because Jones had the arm to maximize Smith's vertical ability. While he's undoubtedly a home-run hitter, Smith needs to improve as a short and intermediate route-runner." - Todd McShay, ESPN Draft Analyst

 "Smith has been the Buckeye's home run target the past two seasons and he possesses excellent straight line speed, which would be used in the NFL to take the top off of the defense. He needs to become more of a complete route runner but Smith could be a potential breakout candidate." - Christopher Jason, SB Nation
