Someone has come up with a statistical score to try to measure the overall success and contributions of each individual player to help determine who was legitimately the best of the best of their era. It's called the Hall of Fame Monitor. The following Receivers who are eligible but not yet inducted have higher scores than Sharpe meaning their HOF case is probably stronger:

Reggie Wayne
Torry Holt
Steve Smith Sr.
Del Shofner
Henry Ellard
Harold Jackson
Anquan Boldin
Hines Ward
Stanley Morgan
Jimmy Smith
Rod Smith's score is about the same as Sharpe's and the following guys are about the same as well
Brandon Marshall
Irving Fryar

Plus a few other whose raw stats are superior to Sharpe's (list incomplete)
Derrick Mason
Wes Welker
Keyshawn Johnson
Chad Johnson
Donald Driver
Andre Rison
Joey Galloway
