How many WRs do you think we need?
Is one elite WR and a great #2 not enough? We need the whole core to be all stars?
The Pats won their last Super Bowl with Edelman/Hogan/Slater. The Eagles with Jeffrey/Agholor/Torrey Smith. Would you take any of those corps over Thomas/Sanders/Tre'quan?
If we snag another solid WR via training camp cuts, then fine. But yall make it sound like its a requirement. Somehow the "we need a #2 WR" turned to "We need 3 great WRs!" soon as we signed Sanders.
Last years' offensive juggernaut and superbowl champions had:
Tyreek Hill 58 catches
Sammy Watkins 52 catches
Travis Kelce 97 catches
Damien Harris 30 catches
Mecole Hardman 26 catches
Demarcus Robinson 32 catches
LeSean McCoy 28 catches
Saints had:
Michael Thomas 149 catches
Alvin Kamara 81 catches
Jared Cook 43 catches
Latavius Murray 34 catches
Ted Ginn 30 catches
Taysom Hill 19 catches
Josh Hill 25 catches
Emmanuel Sanders 66 catches (w/ 2 teams)
Note: end of the season, Deonte Harris started getting some targets.
In other words, we weren't some sort of weaponless anomaly last season...
And by adding Sanders, we absolutely have one of the most stacked group of pass catchers in the league.
edit: Our top 7 and theirs wasn't much different other than we had 2 TEs and whatever you want to say Taysom was and they had 4 WRs.
Their #1 was Kelce, a TE who had almost as many catches as their top 2 WRs combined. Our #1 was Mike Thomas, a WR who had more catches than the next two guys combined.
