It’s pretty clear that our depth at WR was absolute dog shit. Demarcus Robinson scared nobody. He rarely beat 1v1 coverage. Pringle was solid but wasn’t a true field stretcher.
I think Juju can do a lot of the things Sammy did for us. He’s got that bigger athletic body to force missed tackles and still be effective. MVS is not a word beater but he does present a few threat that’s legitimate and that is always on defenders minds when a QB like Patrick is their opponent.
I hope Ross and Skyy take off so we don’t have to pay Juju or Hardman bc I really don’t want to spend about $20 million per on either of those guys. I’d much rather just draft another WR early next year

We won't.
Veach has laid his cards out pretty strongly here. This is going to be the gameplan for the foreseeable future at WR. Young talent and undervalued vets. Ideally ascending ones. If you can get them to sign for 2-3 years at a reasonable price point that allows you to lock in some possible upside, fine. But if they're wanting a 1 year deal so they can chase 20 million, you're not bringing 'em back.
I just don't see them making high dollar investments at WR for the foreseeable future. If it was something they were interested in, they'd have found a way to get it done with Tyreek.
