You can act as though a single inch is the right line between success and failure among WR prospects if you’d like, but you know that’s just another arbitrary line of distinction. The league is LITTERED with guys like Moore that just never made it and yes, he’s closer to Deanthony Thomas as an extreme example of his floor than he is Antonio Brown as his ceiling.

I'm not acting like it's the line, it is the line. Time tested, mother approved.
And yes, I absolutely think Moore is capable of being closer Brown than DAT. That puts him on par with Randall Cobb as a minimum bar to set. That's very much reasonable to aspire to for him. Much more reasonable than DAT.
The league is littered with even more of the Jalen Tolberts and George Pickens that never made it. And you can count on 1 hand the number of guys like Calvin Austin, who you love, that have ever done anything in the NFL.
We should both see the product on the field before either of us make gross overstatements like DAT or Brown because the chances he's near either end of the spectrum are slim.
