In April the Redskins drafted linebacker Derek Smith from Arizona State in the third round. About a month later, after clocking him at 4.65 in the 40 and watching him cover receivers, the coaches decided to give Smith a shot at Marvcus Patton's weakside linebacker spot, with Patton moving to the middle. Says general manager Charley Casserly of the hunting and fishing aficionado from American Fork, Utah, "Great instincts and speed. Great eagerness to learn. I must have had 10 teams tell me after we drafted him, 'God, we wanted that guy.'"
