Someone posed this topic to me last month and it was really, really hard. There's so many great players to rank. I really struggled with it, to be honest.
1. Moss - He wasn't here very long and it feels sorta sacrilegious given some of the other greats I've seen but I think he was, by far, the greatest WR we've ever had. It got a lot harder for me from here on out.
2. Brown - Two Marshall guys at the top. Certainly his career didn't really take off until the late 90s but Troy was as reliable a WR and as great of a team leader as we ever had around here. I'll always miss him.
3. Branch - I grew up watching Fryar and Morgan but Deion in his prime (2004) was soo good. I don't think we've ever had a guy who ran a smoother route than Deion.
4. Welker - Yeah, I love Edelman more but there's no way to overstate how durable and prolific Welker was during his time with us.
5. Edelman - My sentimental favorite of the bunch. He worked very hard to get here and ever since he subbed in for Welker in 2009 I've wanted to see this guy get play time.
Tough to leave out: Fryar and Morgan. And if we were going to take just a single year I'd say Glenn's rookie year alone made him worth consideration. As smooth and natural a receiver as I ever saw.
