Thing is, this is a really difficult offense for WR's to digest and I'd think you can expect the entire group to be better in year two than year one-especially rookies, who had to learn how to be pros and THEN have to digest an offensive scheme unlike anything they'd ever experienced.
Some turnover is needed and bound to happen; we'll never have everyone back ever again, most likely. But I think you need to bring back MOST of them where finances allow.
MVS has been worth the investment, is still young, and is still fast. You need a guy like that, and you can pay someone else to have a learning curve or you can just stick with the guy you've got and not having a learning curve.
Watson, other than the stretch where he had the dropsies, has been a nice complementary piece. Big, fast, smart, always where he's supposed to be. And he's inexpensive. You definitely need him back.
Juju is the big question, and I think he's likely looking at a much higher cap number. I like Juju, but I think he's mostly been a big slot for us, and I think you can project Skyy to be more of a normal slot receiver in year two. Watson can take some of the other Juju targets.
And perhaps an offseason with this training staff can get Toney's soft tissue problems under control and keep him on the field. If so, we have legit #1 WR talent cost controlled for another few years, and that's awesome.
Justyn Ross is the wild-card maybe guy, and you draft a guy somewhere in day 2 and you call it good, in my opinion.
