If Steve Smith was in Pepp's situation right now...

I couldn't really rate a top 3 wide receivers because there are at least 5 wr who just have different play style and thus may affect their stats, but this would be mine in no particular order.

1. Steve

2. Fitz

3. Andre Johns

4. Calvin Johnson

5. Moss or Reggie Wayne

The difference is year in and year out Smitty is the man. Reggie Wayne to me is second because of consistancy. Fitz 3 with both Johnsons and finally Moss. Moss is an upgraded T.O.

Well, I am not exactly sure if teams would be lining up or not, if Anquan Boldin and Braylon Edwards are any indication. It would probably depend on the compensation involved. It's not like Smitty's rep is golden around the league either.

Just food for thought.

Some of you would probably disagree, but Smitty and Pep fit in with this organization like a hand in a glove. Anywhere else, they would be perceived as being overpaid, but that isn't necessarily the case here. We know what we've got, and the FO is willing to pay for their services (IMHO, as well they should).

Smith is the 3rd best receiver in the league. Johnson is the best (I think), and Fitz is second. I don't get why so many people want to call Calvin Johnson one of the best in the league already. He sure has the tools, and could definitely get there...I just haven't seen him prove it yet.

I agree with the thread though. Smith would be a hotter commodity than Pepp.

We would have had some picks for Smith just because of his consistence. He is always above 1000 yards even when we are a run first team. Pep on the other hand is a hot and cold player and IDK who defends him he takes plays off and thats why. The dude just dose not have the drive of greatness like Smith and others.

Smitty's great. Definitely top 5. But there is no doubt Fitzgerald is the best WR in the game today...

Definitely the flavor of the day, but does that actually make him #1, just because he burned us in a playoff game? Not positive on that one, the line is very small...

    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
