Aha!  You're describing what I've been saying but differently, "#1 WR" is overrated, because a shut down corner can more or less take them away.  What you need is a deep receiving corps that allows you to spread the ball.  It's what Brady had aside from a few years of Moss.  It's what Peyton had.  Apart from Thomas it's what Brees had.  Clayton and Duper put up huge numbers for Marino, but neither of them were in the ballpark of a Justin Jefferson or Calvin Johnson type talent.  Remember the smurfs?

So you do need that #1 corner bc the overall talent at WR is just way, way up across the league. He can also erase non-elite WRs in single coverage.  But you also need good coverage guys at CB2 and CB3, S and LB.  You also need a good TE and at least 3 good WRs. TE is very underrated right now.

Example: Garrett Wilson does nothing all year, because a guy like Gonzalez can take him away. Add Adams (who Gonzalez took away) and now Marcus Jones is on Wilson, who has a huge day (in some cases despite decent coverage).
