So do people still believe the Patriots skill players are good?

What I was noticing is that when you look at most HOF QBs or those most likely to reach Canton, they've had typically very good to borderline elite WRs.
Except for Elway except towards the end of his career.

It seems like before every draft Belichick has a million extra picks, and I'm surprised he hasn't been able to parlay that into building a GB/Saints level WR corps over the years.

Yes Bill knows TEs. But he doesn't know WRs.

What do the Saints have that the Patriots never got? Colston and Moore are the only one's that are worth anything, and neither can get separation and they count on Brees drilling the ball into them. They do have great hands though.
