Agreed. I think the only way you get a WR who can be a #1 (or at least have the effect of making defenses dramatically alter their scheme to free up other things) is if you get a guy that can run a sub 4.4 and catch the ball. There aren't many of those guys, and they go top 5-10 if they have that skill set. Run deep and outjump the others guys for the ball
Even WRs that end up as multiple time Pro Bowlers often need a couple of training camps to learn the reads they need to make when they run patterns. It just shows how much most of us don't know about the intricacies of playing WR when MLF talked about how Love's second interception in the playoffs (which looked like a terrible decision) was at least partially due the WR (was it Heath?) running the route at 12 yards rather than 17 which gave the LB the chance to pick it off.
