Ehhh...we have a darn good WR corps, but top 5? I'd say Denver, Houston, Chicago, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Cleveland, Dallas, and Atlanta are all either ahead of ours, or right behind. I love Garcon, but he's no Andre Johnson or Brandon Marshall, and those types of elite receivers give an edge to any team that has them. Now if you're throwing TEs into the mix, too, then Washington is probably top 5. Only Denver, Detroit, Cincinnati, Atlanta, and perhaps Cleveland are in the same boat.

I wouldnt put Dallas, Cleveland, or Houston's group ahead of ours at all. I would put our 1/2/3 at top 5 maybe top 3, trailing only Atlanta for sure.

You're probably right. But those first 3 teams you mentioned have elite WRs, guys who are at the top of the NFL at their positions. Of those 3, I would definitely put Houston's WR corps ahead of our's, but you're probably correct about the other two, since Bryant and Gordon have very little support from their WR corps.

^and possibly Chicago

Houston has little support, Hopkins is not better than Jackson and Andre Johnson has regressed the last two seasons. I think you are overvaluing their overall group a bit.

No way Dre regressed the past two seasons. Check the stats.

Regressed was a bad choice of a word, but even though he still Had 100 catches there were a few times that he looked 32, not enough to really worry you but anyways.

He's had to deal with Schaub and Keenum. Pair him with an elite QB and watch out.

He wont have an elite QB this year, Hopkins needs to develop as well, but as a whole I wouldnt rate them higher than us.

As far as WR corps go, only Atlanta boasts a better 1/2/3 punch than Garcon, DJax, and Roberts. Chicago has a better 1/2 but is their 3 better than Roberts??

I think we're grading a little bit differently. I was grading the WR groups as a whole. But it looks like you're comparing the #1's, then the #2's, then the #3's. Chicago's WR corps as a whole, for example, is far superior to ours. Brandon Marshall is an elite NFL WR, superior to Garcon; and Alshon Jeffery is an absolute beast, superior to DeSean Jackson. Our #3, Andre Roberts, is better than their #3(who is it anyway?), but Marshall and Jeffery are so good that Chicago's WR corps is still better. My two cents...

While I agree with the fact that Chicago has a better all around corp, I was grading as a whole, and I have us 3rd behind the Bears and Falcons

As a whole it's hard to put the Broncos under us with Welker, Thomas, Sanders + Manning. Also think if Nicks returns to form, him, Wayne, Hilton + Luck are pretty darn good.

I think we're all honeymooning a little bit. I'm happy we're in the conversation though that's for sure.

I dont think Sanders is that good and I was stricktly talking about WRs, I dont include the QB or the Line with the comparisons, and yes the Colts group could be dangerous as well.

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

If Nicks is healthy you can throw in Indy to the top 5 as well
