Steve Smith is the authority on Wide Receivers and ESPN is blowing it not having his analysis on the big screen.

[@phantomcyrano]

Unless they can't get him because he does work with NFL Network you're completely right on this. That said, NFL Network is missing the target not featuring Smitty harder during draft time, because unless there are actual teams paying Smitty to consult so he can't share info, there is NO REASON why Steve shouldn't be doing pre draft coverage on the network. Dude is insightful, entertaining AND accurate. Not sure there's another draft analyst that fits that profile.

[@RivasTalksSports]

Just how Gruden had his own segment on QB prospects years ago, Steve Smith should have a segment on ESPN for WR prospects such as 1:1’s, analyze their tape with them, skill sets etc..🔥

[@Haleywould]

They'd try to sanitize his takes and take what makes him special away like that channel did with Bruce Arians. I Love this format right here for Steve although the host seems a little out of his depth. I haven't seen him w/o Smith yet though, so maybe he is just a bit star struck. Get that confidence & he'll be fine. He does well letting Smith do most of the talking though and that's hard for some guys from shows like these, so credit for.that. He's gotten more comfortable as it goes along too

[@Ridikuluzt]

Steve Smith is probably one of the only analyst I trust at wide receiver grading. Steve Smith said Cooper Kupp was the best receiver in his draft class and Smith was not wrong. Smith should/could be a coach.

[@BareArms8]

Agholar played his role as 4th perfectly. He had a good year and played hard when given the opportunity

[@evaneiler4333]

We need to trade him and like a 2026 4th to move up in the draft for another late second round or earlier 3rd pick and get one of these wrs left theres a gold mine this year and if we have any opportunity to gey laggette thats the guy

[@evaneiler4333]

He was decent but dont want someone who u have to stress tf out every single time the balls in the air goin to him cuz yk he might drop it and was usually when it mattered most hes not enough of a playmaker n asset to make up for those missed opportunities and gamechanging rhythm shaking slip ups we dont need m we need to get a big body wr

[@evaneiler4333]

Including in the afc championship before we lost momentum I believe 7-7 our 2nd possession he dropped a easy first down catch on 3rd down at like the 50 he’s not the best piece to a Super Bowl

[@evaneiler4333]

But don’t get me wrong he exceeded expectations for is and did good things for us this year too just also mostly known for his bitterfingers at this point in his career and this season he showed me why n that it wasn’t just talk

I don't think I can name anyone who has been more accurate about WR prospects and how they'll do in the NFL, than Steve Smith Sr. The first one I remember him nailing was Cooper Kupp and that was seven years ago.

It's nice to get some early feedback on this class and Steve always throws us some extra bones about playing WR under the shield.

[@1SuperD1]

When it comes to receivers I only believe what Steve Smith Sr says

[@D-GenFantasySports]

Steve Smith's analysis on WR's is incredibly perceptive and he's been spot-on with so many of his calls. Also the fact that he's is not in the Hall of Fame yet but Andre Johnson is is absolutely criminal.

[@alod247]

Odunze got the headlines but Jalynn Polk made the most incredible plays all season long. Dude is an absolute baller.

[@samismith8752]

Odunze catches everything thrown near him. The other top prospects all struggled at times and saw huge production drops with tight NFL-level coverage, even Marvin. Rome's contested catch otoh % is insane and will make him a productive WR in the NFL immediately. He's not gonna win the jump balls or run insanely perfect routes like MHJ or get the YAC like Nabers, but his skillset is so easily transferable to pro ball. I think he'd be an amazing fit in Chicago where Caleb will need a second talented WR along with DJ Moore.

[@alod247]

@@samismith8752Odunze is a beast. I’m a UWfan and alumni that watched most of his games. But I wasn’t comparing him to the other WR in the class. I compared his hype compared to Polk’s. Odunze is a stud but Polk is the real deal too and should’ve got more love because of the plays he made.

[@samismith8752]

@@alod247I think Polk can become a rich man's Jonny Knox/Gabe Davis big play guy, but I don't think he can realistically be a game to game consistent #1 like the guys ranked above him. He's also going to be an awful blocker at the NFL level which will limit his snap count. As a Bears fan I wouldn't mind taking a chance on him in the second round if we can acquire a pick there just because the value of big chunk plays is so significant and he should provide a lot of value in that regard.
