Best WR Corps in the NFL?

So I guess it's the patriots.

As of right now, I strongly feel the Saints have the best overall group in the NFL. Opposing teams need to be worried if this group remains together, they are very young and will improve.

Cooks, Thomas and Snead are all solid. Coleman is the weak link.

This will be the first time the board isn't talking about drafting a wide receiver with a high pick. We'll be able to use it on a tight end that can block, catch, run good routes and fight for the ball. We don't have that with Fleener or Hill.

And I am going to hope McCaffery goes before we pick.

Coleman doesn't get many targets (could be a reason for this) but he has taken some pretty crucial catches through this season. I don't mind him.

CM is made for da B&G !!! Unless there's an elite pass rusher (please inform me on college pass rushers if you can) or stud OG ranked higher, this dude would ball out down at NOLA if drafted!

From what I've read around here in regards to cap money for next season, beefing up the OLine would do wonders for this guy and Brees's longevity since we'll have the 💰. The O wouldn't or shouldn't come out flat with B.M.W., DB9 & CM rockin #25!😍

I think we have a great 3 guys and Michael Thomas is way better than I expected but if we are in a base set Thomas and Cooks are not the best duo in the league. I'd take Cooper and Crabtree over em. We do have great skill players top to bottom. Even Hill and Kuhn do their part. Is it just me or has the O failed us down the stretch this year while the D gave us chances?

The Raiders have a good group. They are also ahead more of the time in their games, with a lead, so they need to throw less. I would love to see a stat on amount of time for the whole year during games, where the Saints have been behind on the scoreboard, vs amount of time they've had the lead. I bet it is tilted significantly more towards playing catch-up or trailing from behind, compared to a team like the Raiders or Patriots (who also spread the load around among multiple receivers like we do -- probably doing a better job of that right now than even the Saints).

CM and a pick or two to boot? win win in a perfect world.

He would not cut into any of our starters playing time to boot. WR/RB ascent piece the saints have not had since Bush and Sproles left.

Cook IMO was viewed to the replacement for both when we drafted him. That has not worked out all that well.

Cook and CM on the field would strike fear in almost any defense we faces.

Plus he would solve KR/PR issues and allow the saints more flexibility else where on the roster by cutting some of the dead wood we keep around.

He is made for SP.

We have a decent group, but the best they are not... maybe not yet. Coleman is coming around, finally. And yes, we do need a TE or two. HooseYoMaMa once he comes back from injury could fill one of those roles. Brees is who makes this work, obviously. He is also the one propping up the rating of our OL; and we all know we need more help there as well.

I am against it because it just shows we're a system offense and it would make Payton look better than he is.

That nickname has already been used for another forgotten but once remembered WR.

What would relly make Sean P. look better is if he got real Defensive-minded coaches!

Hate to say it but the group up here, Baldwin, Kearse Lockett and Graham isn't to shabby......They also have plenty of speed that you never get to see. I'd still go to battle with our guys any day, but the squawks receiving core is pretty good,,,,,they are just used differently.

Against teams with a good pass rush, has Reggie and Sproles ever done well in those games?

Also, we don't need another one of those more than we need a PT clone.

But defenses getting in Brees face is not going to be bailed out by a satellite running back. You need a powerback/ground attack for those situations.

Funny thing was we had TE Cameron Brate and let Tampa Bay claim him from our Practice Squad...

At the time we had him for about a week, ahead of him was Ben Watson, Josh Hill and after his departure, we traded DL Akiem Hicks for TE Michael Hoomanawanui...

Timing is everything...

If Coleman is the weak link then I think we are in a pretty good situation. Not saying our WR corps couldn't be bolstered by adding another guy in the mix... but I like where we are right now.
