Miss on a guy because you think he's going to be more game ready than he was and that's one thing. But to take a guy expecting him to have a steep learning curve when he also doesn't demonstrate premier athletic tools? Well lord, what makes that guy a 2nd round talent?
Which was ultimately the point I made from the beginning - it's not that he's a lousy player or someone who has no chance to produce at this level. It's that he simply wasn't a 2nd round caliber prospect. Nor was Cook, IMO. We didn't get our money's worth from those picks.
Both guys are solid prospects who could have good, productive careers. But neither one of them should've been top 100 picks and certainly not a top 60 pick in Moore's case.
{shrug} Onward and upward. We'll get what we get from him. I just found it interesting that Andy Reid's Impossible Scheme doesn't seem to be holding Toney back much...

My tentative opinion of Moore is a slightly more moderate version of this I think.
I definitely agree that the one quantity which will most cause someone to be overdrafted is speed on film. Hardman, etc
