New Orleans Saints: The champions go five deep with Marques Colston(notes), TE Jeremy Shockey(notes), Devery Henderson(notes), Robert Meachem(notes) and Lance Moore(notes). And they just added promising TE Jimmy Graham(notes).8. Atlanta Falcons: Roddy White(notes) is a step below the likes of Fitzgerald and Andre Johnson and Tony Gonzalez(notes) is closer to the end, but they’re still really good. Depth is the biggest concern.Dallas at #10???? Laugher. Edited May 7, 2010 by bush4life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Servo Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 I don't mind that list. It's probably accurate. Say what you want about Drew but he's not throwing the ball to himself.Falcons have potential to move into top 5 if Harry Douglas comes on as hard as he did his rookie year. Kerry Meier looks likes a straight up hands guy and possible 4th receiving option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dago Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 i feel like the top 10 is a pretty good list other than twoI feel like Atlanta is rated too high mostly due to the injuries they had last year. The potential is there, but you should earn the ranking before getting itSan Diego is definitely too high. Dallas should be ahead of both of those teams right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dago Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 When you have a star like Roddy, Gonzalez, you'll always be at least top 10!sorry...I feel like you need depth to be in the top 10 and at this point the Falcons have no proven depth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a habit of disappearing in games and drops too many balls. I have heard this same opinion from many a Falcons fan. Douglas has potential, but he has yet to show anything due to injury (as a said)It isn't like I would drop the Falcons much, but I see Dallas as having a better receiving corps and also an excellent TE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gritz Blitz Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Minnesota Vikings: This group is so deep and so talented that Bernard Berrian(notes) is the fourth option behind Sidney Rice(notes), TE Visanthe Shiancoe(notes) and Percy Harvin(notes). Scary.I LoLed at that. Or maybe its because Berrian sucks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossFALCON™ Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 the saints WRs aren't as good as people make them out to be. colston is really good and could probably average 90 rec 1200-1300 yds a year in another offense. shockey is a 600-800 tightend in another offense and i think meachem could be a solid #2 elsewhere.brees and payton's system make those guys look a lot better than they really are. similar with the pats WRs in the early 2000s.that said the falcons receiving group is 2 deep right now. white and gonzo are all pro caliber weapons, but after them it's all "meh". matt ryan made jenkins look really good in 08, but jenkins will always be a #4 receiver AT BEST. he's far too inconsistent. harry douglas could be a very solid #2 one day, but i'm not sure how good he'll be after that knee injury. he will probably lose his shiftiness and speed, which is part of what makes him good.meier may be solid one day, but is a slot at best IMO. finn is good for like 8 catches a year. peelle is good for about 15-20 catches and is probably in his final season.

Falconsfuturedynasty Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 I'm satisfied with the receiving core that we have. I mean as Matt Ryan has the weapons he needs to win a superbowl.Our defense will also be improved this year. We scored about 24 pg a game on average so an improved defense should be enough to balance it out.P.S.- I'm back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falconsfuturedynasty Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 22.7 points a game, but that offense was decimated with injuries and they will still in the upper third in scoring. Cris Carter knows what he's talking about! Exactly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dago Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 well if we are going off points per game as the supporting argument, then the Saints have the #1 receiving corps in the NFL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
