    Saints WR room as of today. I've boldfaced the team's (IMO) top 6:
    10-Tre'Quan Smith
    11-Deonte Harris
    13-Michael Thomas

    14-Tim White
    15-Tommy Lee Lewis
    16-Maurice Harris
    17-Emmanuel Butler
    17-Emmanuel Sanders

    44-Taquan Mizzell
    81-Krishawn Hogan
    84-Lil'Jordan Humphrey
    Marquez Callaway
    Juwan Johnson

    I'm going with those 6 based on the hype we heard about Butler all through camp and preseason last year. I personally thought Humphrey showed much more on the field. If Butler (and Humphrey) continue to progress, Smith could find himself odd man out. @Bengal B True, there's no Ted Ginn-class burner in that group, except maybe Harris. But Brees can't go beyond 30 yards reliably any more, and I don't think its Hill's strength either. But if those 6 turn out to be correct, that's a room full of a combination of big targets (Thomas, Butler and Humphrey are all 6'3 plus, and Smith is 6'2) who can win 50/50 balls 15-20 yards downfield, plus Sanders and Harris as undersized but very quick guys who can get open underneath and specialize in YAC. Wouldn't surprise me to see them try to bring in another reliable vet, though.
