Mooney looks pretty good and Robinson is a legit #1. Wims is serviceable. Miller is highly talented, but unfocused. No clue what they have in Ridley. Kmet shows some promise. Graham is nearly washed, but has shown he is still a threat in the red zone. I’d call this group average at absolute minimum, with room for solid growth as Mooney and Kmet get more accustomed to the league.
Monty has underwhelmed, but his style is a good fit for what Nagy likes to do. Cohen is explosive and has impacted games in the past. Patterson is a fun, but his value is in special teams where he is truly elite. When healthy, this group as a whole is no worse than meh, but it isn’t a position worth fretting about. Most RBs are line/scheme dependent.
That being said, I’d agree with your assessment of the line, the QBs, and that the staff can only get so much out of their personnel, especially as the injuries mount in the trenches.
My biggest issue with the offense is the lack of draft capital invested in it. It shouldn’t come as too much as surprise though. This is what can happen when you regularly trade away future picks to chase the present without try to recoup value in trade downs or the compensatory formula.
Just compare those position groups to the rest of the teams in the NFC.
Who do you think would trade receiver groups with the Bears? Eagles, Redskins, 49ers, and Giants?
Running backs? Maybe the Lions and the 49ers? Maybe neither?
QB's? Redskins and maybe the Giants?
O-Line? So hard to figure given the injuries, but it's middle of the pack at best. Started decently and has been struggling of late.
Even if you say that the O-line is right in the middle, that's bottom level talent overall. Agree that throwing away draft capital has been a major problem in obtaining better talent on this side of the ball.
