The Jets selected Georgia WR Arian Smith with the 110th pick of Round Four in the 2025 NFL Draft. Across five seasons at Georgia, the 179-pounder tallied 19.7 yards per catch. Hiis overall body of work proved a bit underwhelming. Smith’s first four seasons turned up only 20 catches (albeit for 539 yards). 70.5% of his career catches and 60% of his career receiving yards came as a fifth-year senior. He popped with three games over 100 yards. He had a 9.20 Relative Athletic Score (RAS) based on his predraft testing. He also ranked 41st among Combine WRs in 2024 Target Share at 15.1%, and 48th among those WRs in PFF Receiving Grade with a 57.1. He is currently 23 years old. He ranked 38th among WRs in our Draft Sharks predraft Rookie Model scoring a 5.80. Our Comp for him in our Rookie Guide is Jacoby Ford. Smith’s size and shaky hands might place him in a part-time/gadget role.
Smith adds a downfield element for QB Justin Fields.
The depth chart is thin at WR, so he could crack it. But, Smith is unlikely to offer consistent numbers as a rookie.
Smith is likely a deep threat only for the Jets.
Despite the situation, he is only a late round pick in rookie drafts.
