Moore is a smaller, quicker in a phone booth type receiver with a smaller radius who's going to require Mahomes to drop dimes on him. He'll do his thing, get open underneath. Use his quickness and all that. Great. Totally different kind of dude and I prefer my WR's to be more in the mold of a George Pickens.

You might not be shitting on him, but you're absolutely underestimating him. Just like saying "get open underneath" as if that's all he can do. You don't need to have a ton of separation to win deep. You just need a step. With his quickness and 10 yard split, he can do that, and he's going to get open all over the field. You'll see though. |

That may not be all he can do, but it's where he's going to live.

Dude was winning deep too in the preseason. Even drew a couple PIs in the process. He's so quick off the line and his 10 yard split is a perfect example of how he can win early and get behind his defender. The defender usually makes up some ground, but by then, it's too late. |

I know this thread is in regards to this years draft.
But you want to talk about a guy I wish the Chiefs would've drafted last year? Amon-Ra St. Brown. He would've been an excellent pick if we had our 3rd or an early 4th. What a stud. |

Focus on the skill-sets lads, some of those guys just absolutely explode when given the opportunity. And there's a non-zero chance that Moore could be one of those guys. But so could Pickens. In either event, I think we're getting to nut cutting time if the WRs struggle again this week. He's GOTTA get on the field if we're seeing the same issues with MVS and JJSS. And I'm not even ready to say those 2 can't contribute, but I would be really surprised if either of those guys are the man-beater we need. JJSS is a guy you look to excel in Zone coverage and get some physical yards after contact to move the sticks. MVS is a field stretcher who isn't showing me the kind of quick-start ability he needs to win a route without being schemed into space. Those are fine complementary players but you still need someone who can challenge man coverage. Maybe it's Mecole, maybe it's Moore (I think Watson can do it in a pinch) but we're gonna need to find a solution there and I'd really prefer it be clear by the Buffalo game.

Folks were putting the 'raw route runner' tag on him without watching him actually run routes. That kid is absolutely a good route runner. An excellent one as far as prospects go. Off the field, it's hard to say. Worse guys have done a fine job keeping their noses clean in the right organizations. But on the field, there's very little not to like about him as a prospect. He it's hard to find a guy with downfield speed and his kind of physicality who also show plus agility and good hands. That's a first round talent every year, IMO. We missed an opportunity to get a real value play here, IMO. That's a kid who has first round ability to slipped into the 2nd due to the depth of the position. Meanwhile in Moore I see a guy who's available most years in the 2nd day and is more of a player with 3rd round ability who rose up into the 2nd because of the insanity of the FA market. Maybe it all works out, but from a pure value calculus I think we made a mistake. Pickens just has tools that you don't typically find at 50 where we could've had him...

But he's not THAT fast. He's not THAT polished. And whenever you're taking about physicality and contested catch ability I always think those traits better be something special to carry over. That could absolutely be the case. I certainly prefered Pickens so I'm not pretending I didn't rate him. But I mainly prefered him as a very different threat to what we had. Honestly think Moore's releases alone make him better than a R3 WR. In any case, we'll find out soon enough. |
