I know I tend to be optimistic, and sometimes overly optimistic…and I’m sure this falls under that… but I genuinely think Karlaftis and Moore can end up the offense and defensive rookies of the year.
Mahomes said he views Skyy as playing a big part of the offense and you can tell he already trusts the kid. This is going to be pretty fun to watch this bunch of kids mature before our eyes into champions. |

Getting off the line against barely division 1 FBS competition is a lot different than NFL players. If played in one of the power 5 conferences then it would be more respectable. His one game against a P5 conference opponent last year was Michigan and he went 2 catches for 22 yards. Christian Watson is in the same unknown boat but he's huge and projects to be able to in the NFL. He's on the PUP list right now due to minor surgery but tore it up during minicamp apparently. |

You had small school fears about Moore but you wanted Watson? You know NDSU is FCS, right? |
I can understand pre combine concerns about Skyy Moores ability to get open against NFL corners, but after his combine performance and going back to watch the same tape of his burning DBs should have provided guarded optimism at the least.
Now, he’s 3 days into camp and is burning guys like Sneed and Mahomes is making big stattements about him. Everyone should be very excited about Skyy Moores future here with Pat. |
I was going to say any fears about it translating should be erased when he juked Sneed and McDuffie in like his first practice.
Emaw I was high on Watson for a hot minute before the draft until someone pointed out to me exactly how easy it was for DBs to shove him at the line of scrimmage and completely take him out of the play. He doesn't recover from that. He has all the athleticism in the world but if you are that averse to contact welp. Pickens I liked but he's the perfect Pittsburgh WR. I think his character issues are overblown personally and would have liked him here but who cares if Skyy is also awesome. Whoever said DK wouldn't fit in here I agree with you. The one that got away for me is Tee Higgins. He should be a Chief dammit. |
Guys that quick aren't usually that strong. It's makes getting a good jam on him really tough. The kid is as advertised. That is significant in itself because the Skyy Moore hype train was running wide open even after the draft. I'm intrigued despite Pickens being my guy.

He also has a nice arsenal of pass rushing moves. He’s already very good using his hands to free himself from blocks and will only improve. Very impressively heavy hands. Well prepared snd very rarely fooled. Teammates speak about his leadership qualities. Foreign player that understands the opportunity and has motivation to excel. He’s an improved version of Tamba Hali in many ways. He’s going to be an instant fan favorite with his play style and how he speaks. |

I think they felt okay either way, but saw a chance to pick up some value and still get the guy they liked in Moore just based on the other teams' tendencies and profiles. |

I haven’t been this excited for a drafted Chiefs receiver in a long time. If he stays healthy I really think he will be a stud.

Skyy Moore looks as great as we expected.
And for me honestly my expectations rise based solely on a desire to not regret the Chiefs passing on Pickens. Because he looks like he could be the best receiver in the class. I'm extremely good and happy Moore looks like a steal because if not my spidey sense is tingling that we might have another DK situation on our hands. |

My anti-anxiety medicine is whiskey and I've had plenty this weekend.
My point isn't Skyy Moore looks like a miss in any way. But Pickens is the talk of the league right now and ignoring that for homerism seems pointless. |
Quote:
It's not ignoring him for homerism. It's ignoring him because we have exactly what we had hoped for in Skyy and what's to be gained by some constant mental comparison between him and Pickens? If in a year you want to play this game, sure, but what's the point in doing this now with such a limited body of evidence? |

This is fair. My point is Pickens looks like an absolute steal for Pittsburgh and because of this my expectations for Skyy are higher and so far he's hitting them and thank God for that. |

You do you. ;) Sky has shown exactly what I was expecting and I can't wait to have a balanced attack this year. The focus on just two targets last year was hurting the team, like it or not. |
Skyy is going to be a first down machine for sure.
|
Pickens has been impressive no doubt, and he was my favorite WR prospect in the entire draft, but he's also one of those personalities that I'm not so sure would be a fit in our culture.
Dude is already running his mouth to veteran teammates at practice, and shit like that just doesn't fly here. Culture wise, he's a fit for Pittsburgh, while I think Skyy is obviously more of a fit for KC. Not to mention scheme fit. |
yeah I agree with all those things. Sometimes that attitude is helpful in a WR. But I agree that it's nice not to have to worry about it.

Also, they haven't added that kind of a personality since Peters...

If Pickens punts the ball into the stands we'll know we made the right decision.
There's a non-zero chance it happens too |

That’s madness. Pickett isn’t anywhere near as good as Herbert.

I think Pickett can be a Derek Carr level QB, but I don't see elite upside.

But then you totally outdid yourself by intimating that our safety's having the ability to be somewhat proficient at kicking XPs and FGs is providing some quiet competition for our top-5 kicker. I am beyond amused that you think if Butker got hurt that we'd pivot to Justin Reid in anything but an in-game situation. You must be kidding? |

Pickens landed in a great spot. With how PIT loves to run the ball he's not going to nearly as many two high safety looks like he would in KC. Skyy is the right fit for what we're doing. We have MVS to keep defenses honest.

Looking at every route Moore ran and examining his already-present skillset, as well as what he still needs to prove moving forward.

He's going to be able to run a full route tree like Tyreek, even if he's not as fast. You don't need a ton of separation to win deep, just a step or two, and he's a perfect example of that. |

Pickens would've been a fit too. Dude has "star" written all over him. Large catch radius, athletic with an attitude. I love those types of receivers. The highlights that he and Mahomes would put together would be insane. I was PISSED when they passed on him. Had to smoke a bowl before i posted on CP. Felt like it was a mistake. Whatever. I'm trying to get over it. Nor am i going to hold anything against Moore over it. But gaaah it stings. Like when the Chiefs kept passing on DK. It just seemed so goddamn obvious.... |
