Structure will matter. A LOT.
A Chris Jones extension would help. I think LT will have a smaller number next year than it does this year (either via a LTC or Draft pick).
I haven't looked at WR in the draft - you may be right. But again I have to note that you're talking about yet ANOTHER steep learning curve at the position.
Ultimately Moore's development likely makes the decision for you. But I think to some extent Moore and JJSS are more redundant than Moore and Hardman. They are going to occupy the same spaces (and oftentimes spaces occupied by Travis Kelce).
They do things differently but in the same places on the field. I mean 60% of Moore's routes in college were slants, curls and/or flat routes. That's...high. And it's where JJSS makes a lot of his bones as well.
Moore coming along may make it LESS likely they retain JJSS and more likely they retain Hardman. I think that runs in the face of conventional wisdom but the more I think about it, the more sense it makes to me.
I don't know - it's all a little odd. They're using JJSS as a boundary player but having him run conventional slot routes. I still haven't quite wrapped my head around how all these pieces are working together.
