There are still people who think Torrey Smith has a chance to be a top 10 guy in the future, but after watching him more this season I don't think he's ever going to be a Julio/Dez/Green.
I like Smith a lot, but I don't think anyone thinks that.
Concur, I don't think anyone ever suggested he would get up to hyper elite status. He can certainly be a top 10 guy without being a top 3-5 guy (what happened to 6 through 10?). I'm more comfortable with Torrey Smith than several guys that ADP suggests we should be drafting in the top 10 dynasty WRs, but even saying that, I made trades such as Torrey/DeSean/1.12 (before DeSean died) to get Dez last year because the ceiling is probably WR8-WR10 instead of WR1. Torrey's a hold for me right now, as it seems 9/12 owners are still skeptical based on his ADP. I don't think there is any rush to deal him, but that doesn't mean I expect him to single-handedly win me titles. I know damn well I'm not dealing him at WR20 value, unless perhaps investing him in to a WR40 that should be valued as WR18 plus a very nice sweet on top...and further can afford losing the short-term points while doing so, then who knows...but I guess then I wouldn't be getting the best player and would be risking that my eye on the WR40-->WR18 player was appropriate (my definition of a rush).
