        Jets Add More Speed with WR Arian Smith

        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.

        2025 Fantasy Football Impact

        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.

        Dynasty Impact

        Smith is likely a deep threat only for the Jets.

        Despite the situation, he is only a late round pick in rookie drafts.
