Right now we're approaching what I like to call "dead air", it's the time between Mini Camp & Training Camp. There's no news, videos or anything to report, so we as fans our minds runs wild, so we tend to build up these false expectations and think that every FA, Draft Pick & UDFA will have a huge impact.
The media tends to pumps this sunshine as well.

Olave & Shaheed did well for us last year. Mind you, opposing DCs will now have film on these guys, so I wouldn't go out and expect them to easily duplicate what they did last year. Also in the past we had the creative ability of SP. Given that we still have the genius of PC, I'm waiting to see how things play out.

But please stop blowing up every single move that is made. We go through this almost every year, heck I think we did it last year as well.

It’s obvious Olave and Shaheed are young and on the verge of taking a leap. At this current moment, Hill/Waddle, Chase/Higgins, Brown/Smith are clearly better based on proven production. While Olave and Shaheed are capable of producing the same on rookie contract salaries.

The starting 2 WRs are a tandem, not a stable or depth. After teams top 2 tandems is where the terms Depth and Stable come in. Regardless of how much the uncertainties and hypotheticals are pointed out, by the numbers the Saints factually have more productive and talented reserve WRs than a lot of other teams.

No one’s calling them starters. They’re simply better reserve WRs. Teams like the Bengals, Dolphins and Eagles literally have 3rd-6th WRs and TEs who have been less productive than our current projected 3rd-6th WRs and top 2 TEs last season or seasons before. That’s the reason why they don’t have better Stables.

It’s not hype or blowing up a move to point out who’s obviously better based on production and talent. Some rather insert negativity and lack of confidence to avoid realizing your teams’ “fliers” are better than other teams’ unproductive 3rd-5th WRs who just play ST and holding a roster spot on those teams.
