Saints give Brees another target with Tre'Quan Smith

The New Orleans Saints have selected wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith out of Central Florida in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft, 91st overall.

Smith is a smooth athlete who has the agility to consistently create separation. He will require time to develop as a route-runner, but the Saints won't need to rush him into the lineup with Michael Thomas, Ted Ginn Jr., and free-agent signing Cameron Meredith atop the depth chart.

What the analysts are saying

• "Smith's easy acceleration in space creates workable advantages early in routes, but he'll need to keep improving on his press-release technique." - Lance Zierlein, NFL.com
• "The redshirt junior graduate requires route refinement, but for a player who didn't play organized football until his junior year in high school, he is further along than expected." - Dane Brugler, NFLDraftScout.com
