Post-Draft Outlook: A closer look at the Jaguars' picks: Round 3/74 -- D'Anthony Smith, DT, 6-2, 298, Louisiana Tech, Even with picking Alualu in the first round, the Jaguars felt so strongly about Smith that they made him their second pick. He won't start but he'll be in the rotation as the third DT. Quick and big but some reports had Smith taking plays off too often. - by The Sports Xchange

07/22/10 - DT D'Anthony Smith (3/74) signed with the Jaguars. Terms of the deal weren't immediately available.

07/21/10 - DT D'Anthony Smith (3/74/Louisiana Tech) signed a four-year, $2.64 million deal, according to the Carroll County Times.
It includes an $850,000 signing bonus. Smith and Tyson Alualu impressed coach Jack Del Rio in the Jaguars' minicamp in May following the draft. "Alualu and Smith are both going to be real nice additions to the squad," Del Rio said. "They're active, disruptive, athletic defensive tackles and one of the things that we really wanted to do in going back to a 4-3 is become a more penetrating, disruptive front," the Jaguars coach said. "I really believe that with these two young men, that they'll give us some athleticism and some push in the middle and make the quarterback uncomfortable. The shortest path to the quarterback is a straight line and they line up closer than anybody to the quarterback. They'll have a chance to affect the launch point of the quarterback and make him move off the spot and be disruptive. I think that will help the ends."
