NFL Dream Team- Wide Receivers

If you are going to create a Dream Team, you can't just pick all the best wideouts in the NFL, throw them together in some sort of offense and expect everything to click. You need specific receivers for certain roles in an offense- each guy has to be able to perform a certain task to make your offense and your team successful. Here are my picks for the Dream Team Wideouts......

Wide Receivers (5): Larry Fitzgerald (Cardinals), Andre Johnson (Texans), Randy Moss (Patriots), Wes Welker (Patriots), and Steve Smith (Panthers): Here's why I selected each of these five guys:
Fitzgerald: The best all-around receiver in the game. He can do it all: Go deep, stretch the field, go underneath, and go over the middle. He can go get the ball wherever it is thrown.
Johnson: The second best receiver would be a dangerous compliment to Fitzgerald. He can do everything you ask of him as well.
Welker: The ultimate slot receiver. He is our underneath guy that will create mismatches with linebackers and 3rd and 4th corners and defensive backs. The perfect compliment to big play guys like Johnson and Fitzgerald.
Moss: A iffy selection, but Moss can still go up and get the ball in the air. He would fill our goal line and red zone responsibilities for going up and getting all those fade routes in the endzone.
Smith: A warrior at the receiver position. He can go in motion, move around, go over the middle and stretch the field.
