To sum it up, the article said the Smith is working towards turning back the clock to play like when he was in the Top 3 of everyone's Cheat Sheets (ahh, good times). He is 35 now, and I'm going turn this into a little Around the Horn question. Buy or Sell Jimmy Smith being in the top 15 WR's for 2005?

sell, at his age and with corners getting faster and better these days , no way he cracks the top 15. he'll be lucky to stay healthy all year. maybe the top 20 if he can avoid some hits and stay on the field.

Sell, no chance he breaks the top 15.

Sell, too many up-and-comers in the NFL. Like Boldin, Smith, Morgan, Chambers and Wayne. These guys are all between 23 and 26. That's when your career begions taking off. Smith was a top 5 WR in his day, but it's tomorrow.

I want to be contrary and give reasons why to buy, like: my Leftwhich will be better next year and Fragile Freddie's next injury will mean the Jags will have to pass more. I can't do it because I think if there will be a top 15 WR in Jax it will be Williams.

Im Buying. I like JSmith to have a great comeback yr. He may not be a top 15 exactly, but I'll say a solid #2 WR and a great #3. Jacksonville will go to the air more and with the emergence of a true #2, Smith will have the partner he needed to outperform (remember McCardell). Where he is currently ranked - outside the top 20 in most rankings Ive seen, and where he is going in the mocks, he's definitely value. You bet Im buying.

I also think Jimmy will do well. I won't say top 15, but maybe 16. He'll be Leftwich's go to guy. That's worth 80 catches and 10 td's. I'd take him as a #2 wr.

Depends how much Leftwich improves this year. With Williams and Smith, he definatly has some weapons, so Jimmy Smith could have a successful year. That being said, I'm not sure I can put that much faith into Jimmy Smith's dedication. I'll put him around the #22 WR

I already bought, he goes later in the draft, and he is bound to break out with Leftwich, I like him this year. I wouldnt guarantee a top 15, but top 20 is sufficient.
