Why would anyone take Pitts over Smith?

College, I assume he means..STATISTICALLY!
Didn’t Marino lead Pitt to a NC?
Jefferson was taken later due to poor evaluation as people under-estimate how important route running and hands are and instead focus on size and speed. Kind of like what many here are doing with Smith. Smith is easily the best route runner and has the best hands of the top three. That's what translates to NFL success.Oh so you think Jaylen Waddle is all speed and no substance like Ruggs?
Disagree, 100%.
Oh btw: Jefferson was the 5th WR taken..maybe Smith should be 5th?

No, I believe that was Matt Cavanaugh at QB with Tony Dorsett

We'll see if you're right..I have my doubts...as do many scouts and such.
I looked it up. They didn’t win it, but they did beat Georgia in the Sugar Bowl. They were ranked #1 at times while Marino was there. Marino had a higher QB rating than Van Pelt. He also had more TD passes. Van Pelt had more yards and more attempts.
I really don’t see the comparison, seeing how they were not draft eligible the same year.

They won a NC in 1976..Marino wasn't at that school until 1979...at least that was the first season he played for them.
Check out these career stats for Dan Marino @ Pitt:
57.6% completion percentage
8597 yards passing
7.1 yards per attempt
79 Touchdowns
69 Interceptions
127.7 rating
With all you "Statistics" people on here..Danny Marino should have made the Hall of Lame in the NFL, not be a first ballot Hall of Famer!
Football is a team sport. Marino set passing records while in college. His stats are not bad for the time he played.They won a NC in 1976..Marino wasn't at that school until 1979...at least that was the first season he played for them.

Point remains..stats aren't everything. Tebow had better career college numbers than Marino.

Oh and was a key contributor on a National Title team as a Freshman and also won a National Title as the starter as a Junior and won a Heisman as a sophomore.Point remains..stats aren't everything. Tebow had better career college numbers than Marino.
How'd that work out for him?
