That really is a bit strong. I don't think it's "homering ourselves" to believe a WR corp composed of a top 5 WR, a productive new vet and a 2nd round pick is better than 20-25.
I think people are focusing too much on the best WR trios in this list and ignoring the fact that somewhere around 75% of these trio's include questionable #2's and/or rookie/unproven #3's.
This reminds me a lot of when people were freaking out over our TE's last year. Everyone was down on Eifert even though he was a 1st round pick who had a promising rookie year, and people disregarded Kroft - a 3rd round pick - as if there was no hope he could produce as a rookie. Well we all saw how that turned out.
This is even worse IMO. Any WR corp with AJ Green in it isn't 20-25, I don't care who else fills out the depth chart. And it's not like LaFell and Boyd are scrubs. Fwiw, I don't get you lumping Boyd in with Core. Boyd is one of the top prospects from this year's draft while Core is just the latest in a long line of late-round WR's that probably will never see the field for us. There is legit reason for fans to be a little excited about Boyd though.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
