Moore is cat quick. Brees isn't the only NFL QB who can hit slot WR's.
Meachem is an excellent #2 WR and from all camp reports has improved his game quite a bit.
Henderson is better than a lot of teams #3 or #4 WR.
We also have a lot of young up and comers on the team too. You need your 5th and 6th WR's to play special teams.

Devil's advocate here...
So that's why Colston was drafted so high??
I didn't say Moore was anything moore (get it?) than a "slot receiver" - that's the point. ;)
Meachem. #2. That's my point.
Henderson was always a #3, #4, #5 WR... Payton needed his speed to stretch defenses and that's the major reason he remained on the team. Remember that Meachem was injured when he was drafted.
I don't want to sound like I'm not a fan of our WR crew. I really believe that Billings and Morgan and Arrington and Lorenzen and whoever else are "good enough" receivers to have a shot at making the team B U T Brees's longevity is dramatically extended with a "true" #1 WR.
