Does help that Smith was a Pick 7 and Bytel Pick 41 so I'm not sure that the comparison is relevant.Id rather support a young mid that had a down week and probably hasnt had alot of support.
Im providing some evidence beyond the general feeling that Bytel probably wouldnt think he has the support of the coaches. I dont think he should have been dropped this week over a few others. Smith as a comparison shows what can be achieved if you support and develop.
I have no doubt Bytel will be a player for us but unless you want a team populated by inside mids and you don't want to reward form, then its logical why he was omitted.
His pre-draft profile still seems spot on and identifies the area's he (still) needs to work on.
Jack Bytel
DRAFT ANALYSIS: "An inside midfielder who has top endurance, capable of winning a truckload of the ball and laying plenty of tackles."
