Smith should not be above Brady and TD (Super Bowl MVPs), and Sharpe and Martin (HOFers).

Smith should not be above Brady and TD (Super Bowl MVPs
Especially if you consider TD and Brady were 6th round picks where Smith was a Third rounder.

Rating Steve Smith over guys like TD, Sharpe, Brady etc is freaking absurd. How many SB's and MVP trophies has Smith won? TD and Sharpe were 6th and 7th rounders. What was Smith, a 3rd or 4th?

It's amazing how people get caught up in the present so much that they discount past greatness that exceeds the present.

I agree, while Steve Smith is a great playmaker, he is also the flavor of the month. He should be further down the list.

By the way, if I remember right, not only was Braxton a great value in the last round, I beleive he was also a player or two away from being Mr. Irrelevant. I think he was selected right after one of our SB losses (sorry to bring that up), so he would have been second to last.
