Brilliant!
I think experienced depth at the position would be a good thing and in the coming weeks I bet some interesting names will become available as the mandatory roster cuts happen. Likely someone good will become a cap casualty. But I don't think there is an "elite" reciver I'd look at (so no TO or Moss) that is going to be available before the start of the season. |

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. |

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. |
