since we're drifting in this direction...

I find this shite intriguing-

perhaps the more interesting indicator of where Smith stands these days on draft boards around the NFL, is who showed up to watch his workout. For starters, 28 NFL teams had at least one rep in Morgantown; one of the four teams that didn’t show up, though, was Arizona, which has the 7th pick overall in this year’s draft, as well as he issues at the position. In contrast, Jacksonville, which has the second pick this year, had a full contingent at the West Virginia pro day including team president Mark Lamping, G.M. David Caldwell and head coach Gus Bradley. And the Jaguars met privately with Smith after his workout in what was described as a long ‘in-depth session.’ Buffalo, which has the 8th pick and just released starting QB Ryan Fitzpatrick, also sent G.M. Buddy Nix. The Bills have a private workout scheduled with Smith on March 22nd. Oakland , with the 3rd pick overall, also reporedly have an interest in Smith, but don't appear to have sent anyone other than a regular scout to the West Virginia pro da,y, while the New York Jets, who have reportedly kicked the tires on all the top rated QBs in this year's draft class, sent personnel exec Terry Bradway. Meanwhile, after working Smith out privately earlier in the week, Philadelphia did not appear to have been out in force at the West Virginia pro day. The Eagles also haven’t had much to say about their workout with Smith which owner Jeffrey Lurie, head coach Chip Kelly and G.M. Howie Roseman all attended. Roseman did say, as quoted in the local Philly media that Smith was “obviously an impressive guy’, but otherwise wouldn’t comment on where the Eagles have him rated. In fact, Roseman appeared to play the whole trip down saying that it was just part of the process and would only say that the team was “trying to get as much information as possible.” Meanwhile, Kelly commented that "we're going to look at anybody and everybody to see if we can win games; does that mean we're going to take a quarterback in the draft? I don't know." In fact, a casual observer might be inclined to suggest that the Eagles appear to be downplaying their interest in Smith rather than making the case that they are seriously thinking of taking him with the 4th pick this year. There has been some speculation that the Eagles’ flirtation with Smith this week may actually be nothing more than a smokescreen been intended to entice other teams with a genuine interest in Smith into thinking about trading up to get him; the problem with that speculation however is that any team considering moving up to select Smith is more than likely going to be inclined to try and move ahead of the Eagles into one of the top three spots. And while there is always the possibility that there is some serious subterfuge going on in regards to Smith, the fact is that teams rarely send their busy executives half way across the country to watch a player they don’t already have a pretty good grade which suggests in turn, at least for now, that Smith may very well be back in the picture for a top 5-10 selection this coming April.

tl dr in advance

I posted a thread about Southern Miss.OLB prospect Jamie Collins, Saints had four scouts at his pro day. That isn't just for a cursory look see.
