Strauss said that Smith was injured this season with a double hernia but is now healthy. "Some guys go a life time without getting to the Super Bowl. Jimmy made it in his second year. He's going to have a nice pay day and will get a good contract next year," said Strauss. Smith's brother Ryan Smalls is an assistant to Strauss at Grand Terrace and will possibly be going to the Super Bowl.

  • Oakland Raiders Transcript 4.30.15 First-Round Press Conference
    Oakland Raiders Transcript First-Round Press Conference following the selection of WR Amari Cooper General Manager Reggie McKenzie and Head Coach Jack Del Rio Q: How much of a factor was Amari Cooper’s college production in selecting him with this pick? Coach Del Rio: “Well, I think it was a big part of the process, going through and looking at all the tape. Obviously the scouts have been on this player for a long time. He’s had a very productive college career and coaches loved him, scouts loved him. It’s good when you get a guy that there’s a lot of respect for his body of work.” Q: How much activity did you get on the phones at No. 4 when there were a couple of top prospects still on the board? McKenzie: “While we were on the clock, none. Leading up to it, a little bit.” Q: Were you guys always anticipating taking a receiver at No. 4? Or did things change maybe hearing things about Leonard Williams having some injury issues? McKenzie: “’Coop’ was on our board high from the start. It didn’t matter about the position; it was about the player. We thought we had a chance to get a really good player and we were excited he was there.” Q: Bill Musgrave has talked about how he wants to run the ball so much. Does getting a guy like Amari, who could potentially be a game-breaker, does that change how you guys might want to approach things offensively? Coach Del Rio: “No, I think I wouldn’t mistake Bill’s comments for the fact that we want to be explosive on offense.
