[QUOTE="McKnowledge, post: 954744, member: 11543"] I agree. I think back to that 2011 season, where AR12 won MVP and was playing out his mind. His receiving corp was insane...

[I]AR12 used all his skills and just effortlessly played the game, never overextending himself...never focusing on only 1 WR. [/I] This is how you build a WR corp, everyone complementing each other, knowing their strengths and accepting their roles. This season is the perfect opportunity to really build an elite ensemble instead of looking for superstars. If the WR picks in the draft elevate to leading man status then all the better. But going after players essentially living off rep and past production (Julio Jones, AJ Green, etc.) isn't the way to go. I advocate for FA receivers that have potential but just need the opportunity, which I think is prime for production in GB. [/QUOTE]
