I´m quite sure you probably won´t accept any one of them, but here are teams I think can at least compete with our receiving corps: Philadelphia, NY Giants, Dallas, Chicago, Detroit, New Orleans, Atlanta, New England, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Denver and San Diego.
Here is what you said that was disputed: "But with Finley probably gone I´m not sure the Packers have a top 5 pass catching unit". Now you are lowering the bar to "at least compete with our receiving corps". Two very different things.
Let's confirm what we're talking about here. We're talking about decent receiving corps as they exist today. In other words, as an example, Roddy White has fallen off the planet and is a shell of what he was. Injuries slowed him down but it really appears there's more to it. I would take Cobb and Nelson over White and Jones any day of the week and I would take our entire group in a heart beat. The same with Dallas. Miles Austin was invisible so I throw him out. Terrance Williams has not proven enough yet for me to call him special. (Had him on my fantasy team) I take the Pack.
I would put Denver, New Orleans and Philly right up there. (Probably putting Denver above the others)
Megatron is the best in the NFL but still not good enough to put them ahead of the Pack. New York? Cruz was not good again and I would take the Pack. (Although Rueben Randal looked very good at times) Chicago? Clearly one of the best 1/2 in the NFL but I would take the Pack (if with Jones). Pitts- no. New England and Cinci? Maybe near the top. The one negative about the Packers is TE with Finley out.
Sooooooooooo...all that said... I don't see 4 better. I see a debate to be made about a few of these teams being right there but the Pack is without question in the top 5. That I just don't know how a person could argue.
