Smith didn't leave a hole, he was the hole for us. Smith was a stupid signing by GB and letting Smith go then drafting Sweat was a very smart move by the Skins.

I was going to say the same thing.
Smith is One dimensional one trick pony.
Which brings me to Montez Sweat, is he any better at stopping the run and setting the edge? We know he can rush the passer..but....

Good call, will we get a comp pick for letting Smith walk?

$13M/year for about 6 sacks/year... Reminds me of the Browns signing of Paul Kruger, should work out just about as well for the Packers.
