It's an inexact science to expect anything from day 3. That's a nice spot to get a couple of developmental guys but you're probably not going to get an immediate starter.
If Veach is serious about the long-term of the defense and keeping it young, then maybe they just bring in a vet WR again on the cheap and re-sign Wylie and OBj. I dunno. I don't love the idea but it sure plays well with the talent in this draft.

I'm not sure we DO have an immediate need at WR in 2023. I'm not saying we shouldn't take one, just that the cupboard is not empty, even if we don't take Juju.
I don't think they thought Moore was going to get a ton of snaps as a rookie; that's why they tried him at PR. They wanted him to get in the flow a little and get used to the speed of the NFL, but they knew with 4 veterans ahead of him, he wasn't going to get a ton of snaps at WR.
If you keep MVS, re-sign Watson on the cheap and I think Hardman takes a team friendly one year deal to try and enter FA with a season of healthy production, you're in good shape with Moore taking more snaps in the mix there. And there's Toney, of course. perhaps a targeted off-season of training can keep him on the field.
I think you absolutely CAN devote this draft to shoring up the DL and still take an OT in the first three rounds.
