Interesting assessment. I'm on the fence with it.

2nd round picks are wildly overvalued IMO, so getting higher floor guys to me, seems wise. I get taking swings, but......I don't know.

I coudl go either way I suppose.

The majority of 2nd round players fizzle guys. If he's anywhere near Doug Baldwin....that's a slam dunk pick.

Skyy Moore didn’t start playing WR until his Freshman year. He had 800 yards (led team) and 4 total TDs as a Freshman learning the postion.

He only had 5 games in 2020, yet he still had 388 yards and 3 TDs while competing with D’Wayne Eskridge for targets.

Then he exploded this year with 1,292 yards and 10 TDs.

He’s absolutely nowhere near a finished product. He’s just getting started.

I don't really get to worked up on that, being in the MAC. He did what you'd expect him to do against that level of competition.

You don't have to sell me on him. I liked the pick. I don't care about "upside" and "development" as much as some. There's just not a whole lot of time for that in the NFL.

Lol You’re just being willfully ignorant at this point.

You’re generalizing. Not every team is necessarily generically minded when it comes to picks each and every year in various rounds. It’s situation specific. Sometimes that second round pick should be a higher floor and other times it’s a higher ceiling. Given that we lost our most potent receiving weapon - by far - and are building a stable of talent to replace him, taking a guy with more questions marks than answers probably wasn’t the direction they wanted to go.

My view at least.

I just wish he had he measurables of say a Cooper Kupp.

There's times to swing for the fence and times to put the ball in play.

With Andy and Mahomes here now, give me stability and a consistent baseline of talent. I don't need the top WR in the league. I need 4 good WR's.

Then what you really wish is that we had drafter Alec Pierce.

Well I guess they are both white but one is 20lbs bigger and runs a 40 .2 of a second faster.

I assume Hardman was a high ceiling guy picked at about the same spot and to be honest he just doesn’t seem to get it and probably never will , I have no clue if Sky will become a better player than Mecole but I think is floor is already pretty close to Mecole ceiling already as for how he can help this team move the chains , mostly based on Mecole inability to do so consistently.

Wow. He came to the perfect situation to develop his talents.

He's already a better route runner than Hardman.

Shuddup, you've never even seen him run a route.

I watched lots of highlights. His route running is demonstrably better than Hardman's has ever been.

Mecole ain’t doing this guys. It’s too easy for Skyy
