Could totally see Watson or Moore as the best producing rookies

Did I read that Watson had major issues with drops? Or am I imagining that?

I don't think there is a spot he can't play. Simply put, his game may best suited on the inside. Though he played a ton on the outside in college. When he's in space you're in trouble.

The only thing about his game I had a problem with is his top gear isn't next level. He is fast but he doesn't just pull away from guys. But if he was faster he had went off the board before pick 20 like several others did.

I doubt he'd do his best work in the 'X' spot, which, as you know, is the LOS spot. At his size, slot or 'Z' would make more sense.

He is very strong for his size, so the possibility that he could fight through tight press man coverage is there, I'd still probably prefer he got the free release.

What's with all these 4.41 40 times... I seen him run a 4.39! Probably will be even faster after camp :).

The more I read on Pickens the more I think he'll end up like the rest of Tomlin's trash characters. Dude is immature as hell and hot headed. I don't buy the bullshit that he's matured. Some of his antics are too childish to make the excuse he was too young to know better. Was apparently a lousy interview which doesn't surprise me for a second. I'd bet he had a chance to walk back his behaviors and flat out didn't.

I'm more worried about injuries with Pickens. I think that's why he fell into the 2nd.

I think that was his unofficial time at the combine. His official time was 4.41.

I'd like to see it. If he gives a wiggle at the LOS and the CB whiffs on that jam it may be off to the races. Press coverage is kind like blitzing. If you don't hit home then you may get torched. Not to mention Skyy has some legit contact balance, unlike our good friend Mecole Hardman who is just a fast guy.

Mahomes passing TD's record next season is going to be Moore than Skyy high

horrible horrible.

Like, George Pickens had a drop rate of a little over 2%. Best in the nation. Skyy was second best with 3%.

Watson was like 17%

Second-how does Moore translate from a MAC school? Look at the 10 yard split. It's ELITE. He goes from standing still to flying in a hurry. Don't look at the 40 time (which is still fast, just not Tyreek fast) look at the splits. It's his acceleration.



Now, go look at some video on the kid. Watch his routes. Look how he sinks his hips, look how smoothly he cuts, changes direction, and then accelerates. Watch him sell one route and then break the other way. Nice. And then watch how he catches every****ingthing. Also nice.



And finally, look what he does with the ball in his hands. He's so quick, he's hard for the defenders to get their mitts on him. Look at those broken tackles!



This kid isn't just a slot receiver.



I too didn't get the Skyy Moore hype until I watched him. The obvious measurables in size and 40 time didn't wow. But look at the splits and a different pictures emerges of the athlete. And then you can see that the video will absolutely translate.

The day he was drafted I hated this pick. I very much wanted Christian Watson at 30. Watson has had drop issues, but that can be coached up. His combination of size and speed cannot be coached up.

But, I have come around to at least appreciating how he fits in the offense.

But, after watching lots of video on him, the one thing that stands out is his lack of competition. He has not played against NFL caliber corners, with a couple of exceptions.

Yes, his split time and footwork will get him separation initially, but will he be able to maintain that on down field routes.

Will his size hinder him on 50/50 balls?

His huge hands should help, but he doesn't really have an explosive vertical.

I am just going to trust that Reid already has a plan on how to use him and I WILL ALWAYS trust that any WR with even a little talent will be maximized by Mahomes.

Ordered my Moore jersey.

All you doubters are going to get tired of looking at the name on the back of his jersey as he runs in for Chiefs touchdowns.

Used to hate the NFL's strict jersey numbering rules... but having a #24 be potentially a starting receiver is just weird.

I’m getting a Karlaftis, but it was close.

Skyy is going to be a damn star.

My only concern with him is the cost to extend his deal in 3-4 years.

He’s a really good WR in all facets

Gets off press
Elite acceleration
Elite hands
Elite quickness snd route precision

Then, once he has the ball, he’s a running back. Breaks tons of tackles, great vision

Nose for the end zone and first down markers.

Let's.

Win.

NOW!

Tough to judge accurately what Moore will become in the NFL due to the lack of competition he saw in college, but his measurables suggest he's Golden Tate. If he's close Veach did very well taking Skyy there. Should start by next season unless he came without a brain/work ethic.
