DeVonta Smith is positioned as a clear alpha wide receiver with approximately 30% target share, offering an alternative to the third-round RB dead zone. Amarian Hampton would take Smith in round four alongside Jeremiah Love in round three, then pivot to RBs in rounds five and six. Smith's receiving upside and elite role make him preferable to volume-dependent RBs without elite receiving roles. Hampton already drafted Smith and views him as a solid foundational piece; if Smith were injured, Maleik Lemon would serve as the handcuff and receive significant targets.

Now clear alpha in Philadelphia after AJ Brown's departure. Only missed 5 games in 5-year career; proven ability to beat press-man coverage and maintain high efficiency. With AJ Brown gone and replaced only by Dantavian Wicks, Lemon Sters, and others who won't command 25%+ target share, Smith projects for 30–32% target share this season. JJ Zachariason sees path to top-five WR in target share; unless offense is terrible, he's a really good pick this season. Offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo has departed, creating optimism that any new OC can improve situation.
