In 2010, Smith resisted the local calls to draft Tim Tebow but parted with a fourth-round pick to land key veteran linebacker Kirk Morrison to fill one need. He also followed his instincts to take defensive lineman Tyson Alualu (Cal) 10th overall, higher than many projected. Alualu proved a great fit and made a considerable impact as a rookie. Defensive tackle D'Anthony Smith (Louisiana Tech) missed all of the season on injured reserve but could make an impact in 2011. Fifth-round defensive ends Larry Hart (Central Arkansas) and Austen Lane (Murray State) both played as rookies despite their modest college programs -- Lane started nine games, while sixth-rounder Deji Karim (Southern Illinois) appeared in 11 games as well.
