Odell Beckham Jr. felt he was snubbed on the NFL's top 100 players list, when he dropped to No. 10.

While trying to point out why Beckham isn't a top-10 player, Fox Sports' Colin Cowherd argued against star receivers and pointed to offenses without them being successful.
Cowherd then noted he'd trade star receivers for quality offensive linemen and pointed to "20" examples of successful teams without a star receiver.
We're going to use the term receiver loosely here, and think of it as more of a flex position since most of the stud tight ends run more like receivers anyways. Here's Cowherd's list of top teams without a stud wideout, followed by our reasoning why Cowherd is flat-out wrong:
Carolina Panthers — They have Cam Newton (last year's MVP) and Pro Bowler Greg Olsen.
Seattle Seahawks — Doug Baldwin exploded in the second half of the season and the Seahawks acquired Jimmy Graham, easily a top-3 tight end.
San Francisco 49ers — Not a winning team.
New England Patriots — Julian Edelman is easily a top-15 wideout and they have arguably the best tight end in NFL history, Rob Gronkowski.
Denver Broncos — Emmanuel Sanders and Demaryius Thomas are stand as the best 1-2 combo at receiver in the NFL.
Cowherd then pointed to the top 10 offenses in the NFL last season as not having star receivers. Let's go down that rabbit hole.
Arizona Cardinals — Larry Fitzgerald (star receiver), John Brown and Michael Floyd (complimentary receivers).
New Orleans Saints — Brandin Cooks and Willie Snead tore it up as two of the top up-and-coming wideouts.
Pittsburgh Steelers — Antonio Brown.
Seattle Seahawks — See above.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers — Mike Evans and Vincent Jackson.
New England Patriots — See above.
Atlanta Falcons — Julio Jones.
New York Giants — Odell Beckham Jr.
San Diego Chargers — Keenan Allen emerged as a top option alongside top-flight tight end Antonio Gates.
New York Jets — Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker.
Try again, Cowherd.
