Watkins/Robinson and Okafor/Kpass were JAG level guys at best this year. I don't think it'll be too hard to find replacements for them.

Niang is an “unknown commodity” in the same way that any draft pick would be. You realize that, right? He’s still a 1st round talent that I’m sure they’re expecting to start somewhere next year. The injury shouldn’t be an issue now that he’s had an entire year to get healthy. It appears he’s working out and healthy.
LDT isn’t a sure thing in terms of health, but he should be healthy right now and he’s still an instant upgrade at RG if he returns, and he’ll obviously be penciled in as a starter if that’s the case.
Watkins/Robinson and Okafor/Kpass aren’t just bodies that need to be replaced with more bodies. We need upgrades at both positions along with possibly losing two guys at both. They were already needs to being with. Losing those guys just makes them even moreso a need.
