You had to spend a 2022 3rd round pick to replace him...so that's another sunken draft pick that doesn't get talked about.
Lock was at least a backup...who is the Donks backup now? There is a pretty decent chance he'll see some snaps...your QB has been hurt every year since 2015.
Losing three starters is substantial...just from a depth perspective. 7-9 teams usually are not a deep roster.
Harris was a quality starter...He had 7 sacks last year...the guy you signed, Jones, had 2.

I liked Fant, but he wasn't irreplaceable.
Jeudy and Hamler also had the unfortunate luck of being rookie WRs thrown into the fire their first year with Sutton missing the entire season. Jeudy led the team in receiving yards that painful year when Lock played in 13 games.
Last season, Sutton is back and Jeudy gets hurt in the second half of the first game and misses the next 6 games.
Rains it pours.
Edit .. in 2021, Jeudy (5 starts) did have more receiving yards than MVS (8 starts) and JuJu (5 starts). So, at least he's got that going for him.
