I don't see how he makes this team that much better compared to the rest of the top 5 WRs in this class. It's not like he's Julio or AJ. I just can't see taking a WR in the top 5.
He ran a 4.40 last year according to this:

He set the SEC record for both yards (1780) and TD’s (20) in a single season. The WR that just won the Heisman put up very similar numbers. But Smith didn’t have to compete with Justin Jefferson for targets (Waddle only played 5 games).
Not wanting a WR at 5 is one thing, but I don’t see how anyone could not “understand” the hype for Chase.
