EMMANUEL

SMITH

Emmanuel Smith, our 286th ranked linebacker, is best suited to be a depth backup. We project he will end up with the Los Angeles Chargers because they could use a player of this quality to play linebacker. The Chargers currently have 11 healthy linebackers, and 4 are rated better than Smith: (Khalil Mack, Daiyan Henley, Tuli Tuipulotu, and Amen Ogbongbemiga).

The Chargers currently have no linebackers under contract beyond the 2027 season, so Smith is probably looking at a one year deal, due to his rank, with the team.
