Except Chris Conley didn't do shite in college and was viewed as an UDFA before the combine.
Devin Smith was consistently viewed as a late 1st/2nd round WR and and actually been a very good WR on the field, unlike Conley.
On the field?
Michael Sam led the SEC in sacks. Calvin Johnson and Demayrius Thomas put up modest numbers in options offenses
It's not like Smith was that much better anyway
Devin Smith 33/931/12
Chris Conley 37/657/8
A "very good" WR that caught 33 passes on the top 5 passing team in the conference? Im not trying to knock Smith, he has that big play, go and get it ability. T dude has seen a HUGE jump thanks to his exposure and hype in the playoffs, though.
As for Conley, UGA was 2nd to last in pass attempts in the SEC and they led the conference in rushing. They werent a passing team. LSU was the only team with less pass attempts. Malachi Dupre or Trey Fontenot for Travin Dural didnt do shite either...
Even still, Conley was 3rd in the conference in yards per catch and 6th in TDs with 8.

UGA was a running football team. They ranked 90th in passing last year.

Yes on the field. Nobody thought Conley was going to have the type of combine he had because nobody saw it on the field before. He had an outstanding combine that was a surprise to everyone. But on the field, he was average at best. Like I said, before the combine he was going to be a late draft pick or UDFA. I wouldn't take him before the 4th.
And comparing stats between Smith and Conley isn't a good way to judge them. Smith was a deep threat for Ohio St, and was a great 1 at that. But he didn't get a lot of balls thrown his way. And he still had 931 yards and 12 TDs and averaged 28.2ypc this season. That's outstanding. He caught 4 less balls than Conley, but had 300 yards and 4 TDs more than Conley. That a pretty big difference in stats to me.
Conley is the definition of a work out warrior. He's not a bad WR, but he's not worth any pick before the 4th. There are a lot of WRs still available that I would rather have than Conley.
Oh and Calvin Johnson had 837yards, 888yards, and 1202 yards in college. That's very good production. And DT had 1154yards his last year in college.
