Mooney is a good target because he's been a 1000 yard receiver, and has experience in this offense. A big part of the problem this season is that these receivers just don't seem to understand where they're supposed to be and when. And then, of course, they don't catch the ****ing ball.
Mooney is also still young, and a couple of down seasons with garbage at QB and an offense in total disarray would mean he's probably a bargain.
It's still not a wise investment to spend big money on aging players. It's really important to try to get max production value per cap dollar. Part of the problem right now is we're overpaying MVS for zero production. That sucks because it's money that could be spent elsewhere.
Nobody's worshipping Veach, there have been plenty of mistakes, but there have also been just fantastic moves-especially the last couple of drafts. This one looks pretty good, too. Especially if he found a serviceable LT in the 3rd round.
I imagine there's a zero percent chance of less than two new faces in that WR group next season. At least one vet and one high pick. Given the struggles of this young group, I wouldn't guess they'd take two in the draft but they might.
I would guess it'll be 3; one middle class vet with upside, one high pick, one bargain vet.
But who knows, really.
