I think the thought process was that they had a defense building itself us up, they liked what they saw from Toney and believed in Skyy.
I think the goal next Spring is to bring in a legit vet at a good but not crazy price tag. Marquise Brown, Calvin Ridley, Mike Evans, Michael Pittman Jr, Tyler Boyd. Lots of options.
They're gonna have to shell out some cash for a vet IMO. That's why I think it's a good idea to trade Chris Jones for assets and cap space. Use one of your two early picks on a WR to go with that vet.
Defense would still be top 10 next year but with better WR's

I just don't believe that they were
counting on him being a WR1.
I'm sure they were
hoping he would be. But given his injury history, there is no way they were looking at it as more than a high ceiling, low floor roll of the dice.
Who knows, if he is healthy, presumably his athleticism hasn't disappeared. Unlike Skyy, he has actually flashed on the field and might again. And Andy might be able to use him for gadget plays.
But I was always suspicious of the Toney as a reliable WR1, although I did think he would be able to serve spot duty.
