I'd be awfully pissed.

This is why.
There's nothing standout about Moore. He was a third round prospect for most (and not even an early 3rd rounder at that) a mere month ago. Nothing's changed. His 40 time wasn't anything that was unexpected and if anything his disappointing 3-cone time should've hurt him.
Instead the WRs have pushed up the draft board as the market went crazy in FA and then dried out altogether.
He didn't become a better player - it's just that the perceived value of the position in the draft got bigger.
Chasing the dragon here is NOT what we want to be doing. Moore in the first would be a pure desperation play and Veach allowing external factors to influence his draft board. That just shouldn't be how you conduct the draft. If the Chiefs take Moore I do not believe it will be because they think he's a potentially standout player. It will be because they're overreacting to the market outside the draft.
It will be a really bad sign as to our draft philosophy, IMO. [Reply]

That's why its almost difficult to pick a sort of 'bottom 10%' outcome player for him. Or hell, even a middle of the bell curve guy.
Because he's SUPER fungible. There are literally hundreds of guys to choose from and for that bottom quartile, you haven't heard of any of them because they just never amounted to dick.
I think Coutee as the middle of his bell curve is actually pretty damn fair. Coutee was just as productive in college, athletically extremely similar and very similar in build and playing style.
And the guy was a 4th round pick. He went after Dorian O'Daniel, FFS.
And I can't even squint and figure out what makes Moore a better prospect than Coutee was. It's 6 in one hand, half dozen in the other.
I just don't get it. I think this is maybe a 3rd round player. [Reply]
.@WMU_Football WR Skyy Moore’s upside, as told from a lead NFL scout: “The more tape you watch, the more you like him. Former high school QB whose strong, compact frame allows him to break a ton of tackles. Can play in the slot and outside. He’s always open.”
There's essentially zero tape out there on him so GMs are hyping him up because there's nothing readily available to call it obviously asinine. This is the guy they've picked as their sacrificial lamb this season in the hopes that the player they actually want slides. [Reply]

So GMs just scour the interwebs for tape on players and don't have any scouts either? Come on DJ, they have all the tape they want on this kid.
Do you think Western Michigan is some community college in the sticks that have no tape on players? I mean, Corey Davis went 5th overall. Jason Babin went 27th overall. D'Wayne Eskridge and Greg Jennings were 2nd rounders in the 50's. Taylor Moton is a pretty good 2nd rounder. Chuk Okafor is starting as a 3rd rounder. Nah, no team would have tape on Skyy Moore, it's impossible.
Moore is damned good, especially on those shallow crossers and quick slants. If Eleby could make more than a single read, his stats would be insane. Don't matter, if KC doesn't pick him by 50 he probably gets taken by his friend in Mike Tomlin in Pittsburgh shortly after. [Reply]

Yep, he's far better than a lot are giving credit for. He doesn't wow at anything and for that reason I don't think he's bust-proof. But I'd be willing to bet his floor is pretty high. [Reply]

Eh if Andy says you can play WR then you can play. I see everyone talking about his speed it didn't particularly jump out at me in the videos I've seen but his route running looks good and his hands are damn good. If he's a constient 50 receptions 3-5 touchdown guy it's going to be hard to label the pick a bust [Reply]
