Here are all of my posts about Skyy in this thread.

He’s pretty much right where I expect him to be at this point and I think you’re going to see his role increase after the bye and by the time we’re going into the postseason, he’s going to be a real weapon.

And they don’t need to rush him onto the field. They can work him in as the season progresses snd into the playoffs he should be ready to contribute in a larger role.

This pick is going to be HUGE.

He’s a perfect fit.

He will get separation from defenders

He will catch the passes thrown to him

He will break tackles with the ball in his hands

Mahomes will trust him almost immediately and go to him often after about mid season.

I can’t wait to see this kid in action against opponents 3rd or 4th corner and grow into a starter right in front of us.

Great pick

Sick

This kid has the makings of a wideout that has over 100 catches in as soon as his second year. Mahomes is going to go to him constantly because he’s going to trust him.

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.

I watched and read a lot about Skyy leading up to the draft and think his best comp (in my view) is Wes Welker.

Best in slot but can play outside.
Can return punts and kickoffs (Veach said this would be part of his initial role in KC)
Elite quicks
Elite acceleration
Smaller in stature
Not a deep threat, but has the speed to be.
Very reliable hands
Good vision on adjustable routes
Smart

Skyy is bigger, but comparable.

His coaching hasn’t been great now he has Andy…the best offense mind in the sport

His QB hasn’t been great now he has the GOAT throwing to him.

His testing was borderline elite.

His hands are elite.

I don’t understand why people label him low upside when I see the exact opposite…

What do you see that makes you think “low ceiling”?

Don’t let his size fool you, he was a running back and a safety/corner before college and breaks Tom’s of tackles and gets off press with quickness and strength.

Pat is going to almost immediately trust Skyy and will go to him often once that trust is built.

Going into the playoffs, Skyy Moore will be WR1, but earlier in the year the vets will get the majority of the targets. Pat will quickly trust Moore, though. As that trust builds the more Pat will look for Skyy and feed him when opposing teams adjust coverages. I see Skyy Moore catching fire around week 12 or so.

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.

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.

So far, me calling Skyy Moore the black Wes Welker and George the white Tamba Hali seem to be very accurate.

So even while Skyy might not have the true upside Pickens has (and I don’t think he does) it was adding an explosive playmaker that firsts the scheme and won’t make you regret the pick.

Whoever mentioned that we haven’t drafted a player with attitude issues since peters hit it on the head.
