Look at st louis rams ,they just got 3 good receivers,none elite. Pats none are elite. The list goes on. But what i do think we need is a strong arm top of the line qb. That makes others better around him. If we had that i bet lesser round receiver would come along and mske a name for himself. Pitt did this with antonio brown found in the 6th round. Offensive line has to atleast be average to better. Defense isnt as important in todays nfl but you do need a few playmakers and still be able to limit the run. 

Coaching is severly important,and our last game is example number 1,we lost that game because of coaching,mostly on the offense where marvin sticks his nose in,he determines what guys goes out there and who doesnt. So it goes back to my original thing i preach,it goes from top down, owner, coaching,qb,rest of team. We havnt won nothing mainly because of the top 3. That has to change to really win. We will never be fully healthy so i never buy that excuse anymore. Your coaching and owner also has to be smart enough to have a winnable backup in place. Look at bengals of 05 and look at last years champs eagles. Major difference. Eagles were stacked also. 

Elite receivers aren't needed, but play makers on offense are.
Look at the Eagles last year: Ertz. Jefferey. Agholor.
Patriots two years ago: Blount. Edelman. Bennett.
Broncos the year before: Thomas. Saunders. Great 1-2 punch with Anderson and Hillman.
None of them exactly elite, but playmakers on offense.

Honestly, I think the Bengals could actually win a playoff game or two with a better HC. The Bengals still have some pieces, but there's been very questionable play-calling and players starting. IE: Jordan Evans.
