Sure, you needs a flanker who can run to keep the defense honest, but what Brees needed was more route runners who can get open underneath. Plus, what’s stopping us from going WR first round? Plenty mocks have us going Justin Jefferson at 24. As far as Sanders getting beat out in camp...it’s like you’ve never seen that guy play before. He’s an extremely savvy and talent wide receiver who never had to rely on elite athleticism to get open.
A point that simply cannot be igored anymore. Safeties don't have respect the deeeep ball because he can't get it there. They can cheat up a bit and focus on the intermediate routes.

The difference may only be about 10 yards or so, but for DB's thats a lot of territiory they don't have to worry about.
