Wow I didn't know that till today. I'm not a fan of Kupps since the Rams stole that superbowl from NOLA but Kupp is an honorable dude,and there's no denying he is a very good WR.
@@George-Cancel Fr😂people kill him for going against the popular opinion/ NFLs narrative. He gets heat for his wr rankings even tho he usually right and for saying Mahomes isn’t a good qb which I’d also say he’s right about. Been the worst passer in league for 2 years yet ppl still kill him when he says that
You know what I just thought of? He said in the beginning he works hard on his analysis, cause he sees lazy analysis as a waste of time. He brings that same mentality to the podcast that he brought to the practice field,and in game. Cool to see Steve still being himself,and still being great.
steve smith should be a wr coach, his insight and passion is second to none at the position. Has one of the best track records scouting talent as well.
Please bring him back to go over the next 5 receivers. Steve Smith is excellent and freaking intense as well.. I actually think he's mellowed.. to a degree.
The proverbial "dog" basically STARTED with him in modern times. At least as we know it...never been a panthers fan,lifelong saints fan,so I saw my fair share of Steve over the years! I can remember time after time,the secondary trying to hold it together against him,and it's a tie game or we're winning and Steve has like 2 catches for 13 yards...then he catches some 50 yard bomb he basically MUGS the DB to get his hands on,and he winds up with like 4 catches for 80+ yards before its over with,and many times it was his touchdowns,that beat us. He played the WR position much like an old school bell cow RB. It's the drip...drip...drip of short passes (like the run,run,run up the middle for 3 yards of a RB)then the *WHOOSH* of a flash flood,on a play you thought you had defended well against. Just like the great ones at RB, Steve actually got stronger as the game went on, and I've never seen him gassed,not once in the decade we played against him. Quite a singular talent. Another guy the scouts got wrong lol, 3rd rounder,who was a hall of fame guy.
Man, I loved this guy so much . I started playing fantasy in 2003-2004. He was my favorite player. I played hs football and was a small wr but I played like a dawg. Steve smith was my inspiration
One element of Addison's game that I think is being overlooked is his contact balance. He stays on his feet through tougher situations than WRs 30 pounds heavier than him. He's the most versatile and all-around skilled receiver in this draft. He's got the most tools in his belt, but they might not all be as sharp as some of his classmates.
Steve!!! This was awesome. I’ve never seen film broken done so accurately in my life. When someone who watches film so much breaks it down the detail they see is crazy. Blew me away.
Great article on the Wide receivers in the draft. I’m so glad you got Smitty’s take on things because not everything you thought he agreed with and vise versa. Very well thought out podcast! Thank you for your work.
Just can’t wait to see what JSN and Zay do on the outside. I think they are going to be way better than people think. Especially JSN, he did all his work at 19, after 2 years of doing nothing but working at his craft I think he’s primed to go crazy.
That's the strange thing about this WR class,most the wrs have "slot bodies" , yet alot of these customary "slot guys" in this draft actually gives you SOMETHING on the outside, which is unusual. I think all can several can outside outside off of motion or even line up out there occasionally. Downs,JSN,Flowers,Mims, all look toe like they could play outside a little.
Mr. Smith (Sr), there is NOBODY who brings what YOU bring to these discussions. Through their fault only, you make all those other analysts look like they've never played the game and have NO idea what they are talking about. You're a Dang Treasure! Respect, Sir! And Gratitude!
Months before the draft, I was only high on JSN, Zay, and Jordan. After watching this video, I feel even more certain about those 3. I know Tank Dell isn't a Top WR in this draft, but he's another one who I feel will translate well in the right system.
Best Wr break down I've heard this yr by far. Made me add Zay Flowers to my list of players I want for Bengals at 28 as a true weapon Gibbs is on my list also...
@@JWNimbleI don't know about that, but he's definitely the reason why Carolina took Mingo in the 2nd round. Tepper, the owner, told Mingo that Steve Smith called before Carolina was due to pick in the 2nd round and told him to take Mingo. The rest is history. Mingo was definitely a WR that stood out to me.
Imagine being in his division...and having to watch him and WHATEVER QB carve you up twice a year! I've been a saints fan since 1990 when I was 10 years old,and saw my fair share of Steve. A true "great one". Imagine watching him and your former 3rd string QB streak to a superbowl game while your team never made an appearance 🤔!? Of former division rivals Steve Smith and Deion Sanders were my favorites.Liked Steve Young and Jerry Rice too...
As a panther fan, I am one of the biggest and most unapologetic steve smith fans. I strongly believe, at the time of his retirement, he was pound for pound a top 10 receiver of all time. I think some of these young guys will eventually have to placed above him but the man won a triple crown with jake delhomme as his qb in a league that had Randy Moss, Terrell Owens, Marvin Harrison, Torry Holt, Ochocinco, Larry Fitzgerald and more. He never played with an elite passer but hes still one of the most productive receivers of all time. But even more than that, the eye test doesnt lie. Yeah, he was 5'9 but he was still elite at jump balls and contested catches and prime steve smith with ball in his hands is as good as any receiver in nfl history at YAC. He could make you miss, he could break tackles and he could find the right angles to get as many yards as possible. Elite in every way.
One of my favorite receivers all time, and I’m a Giants fan. Certain guys I always envisioned as a Giant and S2 was up there on that list. Him and Anquan Boldin.
A lot of people were sussed out about QJ I'm still really shocked the chargers picked him when they did, I assume they thought he'd be Williams replacement and didn't anticipate cleaning the wr room out this year entirely lmao. I traded my fantasy pick to a sucker who wanted herberts "new #1" in exchange for keenan and a 1st this year😂. It's what happens when you target a big body reciever with poor hands just because you are infatuated with big body recievers, I especially see it in this draft... Addison, Zay, Dell were all better, just had "size concerns"
Steve Smith my favorite Baltimore Raven wide Receiver 100% You cut your Teeth in Carolina and made yourself a pro glad we had you for 3 years my friend. Wish we could draft someone with half your ability and heart. Steve we love you on Bmore brother.
Cut his teeth in Carolina lol 😆 his best years was in Carolina stop it he was on the way out in Baltimore but he was just that good he put up numbers at a old age
I'm a lifelong Bills fan, but I miss watching Steve Smith play. I lost cou t how many times I wished he was on my team. The absolute king of contested catches. Nasty af
Man I'm old...Steve Smith Jr. is heading to the pro football hall of fame lol. In my mind he was always everything a WR should be, more so than Jerry Rice,cause if anything went wrong on a given play,you better believe Steve is FIGHTING YOU for that football and better than 9/10 he usually came away with it. These young guys these days just don't have the same heart that guys like Steve,and Tim Brown,and Randy Moss had. ❤
Oh my ! I watched this when it came out - rewatched - Steve Smith is amazing !!! Hayded and Josh are OK ---- LOL -- just kiddin ---- love you guys !!! Oh - could you imagine bein Steve Smith's kids - the chances that they make this world a better place are very good.
This I have to hear...every year I pour over these WR prospects looking for someone like Steve Smith at the WR position! Fast enough to run by you, strong enough to knock you down,hard to bring down in the open field,with great contested catch ability. If I had to put my finger on a guy this year...it'd be the young man from the Oklahoma Sooners, Marvin Mims...he comes from a long and storied nfl family and is very under-rated. Anyway he is the closest to Steve Smith for me.
tbh, in terms of NFL WRs it is a weird frame. Prior to 2023, just 32 WRs at the NFL Combine in the last 20 years weighed 173 lbs or less. And he's one (of five) in this class. - Josh
@@JoshandHayden It is an unusual frame for the NFL. It's also probably the most ideal frame you could have for just walking around in the world. Weird probably was the wrong word :)
Steve Smith was not only a true gamer but he played with such swag and finesse! He had that game that make your girl ask you, "Who's that guy?" And she's supposed to be rooting for your team 😜😂💪🏼 You badazz Steve! 💯
I love it, we finally have a WR guru and someone who knows the game better then anyone, in this case he was one of the best at that position... unlike a lot of these qb gurus. When Steve Smith Jr speaks you damn well better listen.
"The corner should have a nikon to take pictures cause he aint participating" 😂😂 god I love steve smith, he was made to be an analyst post football career. He straight roasted that corner for like 2 mins straight lol
Who is your favorite WR prospect in the 2023 NFL Draft?? Leave a comment, let us know...
Marvin Mims 🤩⚡️
Qj
This slaps. Yhall did it again. Never sharing this channel with my league mates though.
Marvin Mims for me as well.
Aside from JSN, I like Downs and Cedric Tillman.
That clip of Steve Smith having Cooper Kupp as his #1 WR pre draft is all I need to know on his talent evaluation.. dude is great at this
💯% That tape was surgical.
Wow I didn't know that till today. I'm not a fan of Kupps since the Rams stole that superbowl from NOLA but Kupp is an honorable dude,and there's no denying he is a very good WR.
@@barbaraGobert31 Blame the refs I'm glad to see Kupp with the Rams instead of the Patriots I called him the modern day version of Steve Largent
@@barbaraGobert31Rams stole a Super Bowl of a ridiculous holding call on Logan Wilson against Kupp
@@kane6529 every team steals super bowls on calls 😂. Lets not forget the rams lost a super bowl from straight cheating as well. Its the NFL...
Steve Smith consistently bringing the best opinions to the game. Top tier guy
Opinion I hope people don’t forget that
His analysis on Quentin was deep
@@George-Cancel its all opinion
@@George-Cancel Fr😂people kill him for going against the popular opinion/ NFLs narrative.

Man, Steve belongs on this show, what a natural.
This is is side hustle...
Steve Smith belongs in the NFL. Either scout or coach. I feel like I'm getting inside trade secrets
@@robshighlights6431 I'm pretty sure scouts are hitting him up all the time for his opinions so you're not far off
Steve needs his own show, like Chris Simms. Between the two of them,maybe teams could actually figure out this draft process lol. 🤔
Steve Smith, an undersized receiver with a noseguard intensity. The nfl will never find enough guys like him. Respect
Vry underrated. Tuff and a perfect body for gridiron
Hines ward? Lol...Steve was a dog but def wasn't alone
@@packers12to80 Fr tho Hines was beast. Manz was out there head hunting.
@@packers12to80 “… will never find ENOUGH guys…”
@@negative2positve380 oh cool...thanks for that i totally just replied to his comment without ready it. 🥱
I wasn’t sure how well Steve Smith would transition into an analyst role but this dude is a natual 🐐

We need more Steve fellas. This is a hell of a trio.
Give me more Steve Smith ASAP, give him his own show! Good stuff guys
he has his own podcast where he does this. its called cut to it.
@@TheNotoriousR.I.C. thanks Rickey , I’ll look into it
He really nailed his analysis, it aged very well
steve smith should be a wr coach, his insight and passion is second to none at the position. Has one of the best track records scouting talent as well.
He was the only guy that said cooper kupp was the best wr in that class
@@ryu-ken yeah that’s the main one I think of aswell.
That would be awesome, imagine him coaching WRs at Colorado with Coach Sanders? Wouldn't that rock?
Bring him into Baltimore.
We've been needing a receiver's coach to make a difference, in what seems like, we'll, forever ! 😂
@@AJCsr Zay Flowers was one of his favourites this year, I think you guys got a good one, honestly surprised chargers didn’t take him.
Please bring him back to go over the next 5 receivers. Steve Smith is excellent and freaking intense as well.. I actually think he's mellowed.. to a degree.
He definitely has mellowed out over the years.
Steve Smith my favorite receiver of all time 5'9 giant! Hearing his analysis of WR/DB technique and situations is gold!
Ahhh yes the legend Steve Smith Jr, he got the DAWG in him 😤
His son probably does but he is Steve Smith Sr.
The proverbial "dog" basically STARTED with him in modern times. At least as we know it...never been a panthers fan,lifelong saints fan,so I saw my fair share of Steve over the years!

You said it best ! It crazy how he impacted the game to many others . Kind of like the Allen iverson of the NFL
@@dloading5858 exactly the same ! Same era too !
I didn't know much about Jordan Addison, but after hearing Steve's evaluation, I'm super excited to see him as a Viking!
Steve is the best WR analyst on UA-cam and just period...
One element of Addison's game that I think is being overlooked is his contact balance. He stays on his feet through tougher situations than WRs 30 pounds heavier than him. He's the most versatile and all-around skilled receiver in this draft. He's got the most tools in his belt, but they might not all be as sharp as some of his classmates.
As a steelers fan i want to draft him so bad. I know we need a LT but him and Pickett back together in the same stadium would be awesome.
Steve!!! This was awesome. I’ve never seen film broken done so accurately in my life. When someone who watches film so much breaks it down the detail they see is crazy. Blew me away.
Loved Steve's insight into Zay Flowers. Never thought about the college route selections forcing teams to view him beyond a slot guy.
I believe that’s why he’s in Baltimore because of his insightful comments about Zay
You guys are stepping it up with the guest stars!
