Should Saints be looking for WRs?

Before you answer "Colston" - where would he be without Brees?

Moore is good. But can he survive outside the slot?

Meachem is good. But is he anything more than a younger Devery Henderson???

I'm beginning to think that our WR's succeeded more from the presence of Reggie Bush than without.

Just a thought...

Colston. If it was all Brees, Meatchump and Devery would be awesome. They aren't bad, but they aren't great. It shows in their play. In an offense that spreads the ball around so much, Colston consistently pulls in 1000+ yards and 9-10 TDs a season, year in and year out.

If he wasn't a great receiver, he wouldn't stand out like he does. With a crap QB his height and sure hands would end up seeing him with as good or better numbers than he gets every season, year in and year out, with Drew Brees and the Saints.
