I think I may just not have much stomach for paying big $$ for DL anymore. It's a rotational position for the most part. Draft/develop and if you hit, extend. But I'm not excited about going outside the organization and paying with pick and cap space for defensive linemen anymore. That ship had probably raised it's sails some time ago for me, but then Clark simply burnt the mother****er to the waterline.
This is it, but it's also made me extremely wary of ANY big $$ contracts for multiple years, including OTs [Reply]

Not at all...well, I guess maybe depending on who you see Skyy Moore as (or unless you just mean 'receivers who's last names are Moore).
I maintain Skyy, long-term, is a slot receiver with some underneath skills who will be good when schemed into space. I think he is a nice complementary player who won't be a featured WR in a truly good WR room.
DJ Moore, OTOH, is a larger, more physical, true boundary WR. I think he's a genuine Z caliber player in that there are few things on a football field he doesn't do well.
I think Moore is arguably a top 10 WR in this league, definitely a top 20 and creates an interesting discussion from about the 8-18 range. He's very good and very underrated.
I'd give a 2nd for him in a heartbeat. Wouldn't bat an eye. He'd probably cost a 1st since he'd come with a nice contract and I'd consider pulling that trigger as well. He's really struggling to mesh with Baker right now and I think he'd explode if we brought him here. I don't see why he couldn't/wouldn't restructure to fit his deal in as well if it came as part of being 'freed' from Carolina.
If these early season struggles have made him attainable, I'd find a way to make it work and then go after Jerry Hughes to complement the pass rush. [Reply]
