If you torch 1/4 of that value on a 2nd rounder who's presently sitting 6th on the depth chart, that means something.

This is one of the things not talked about as much.
Ok, so Moore will take some seasoning and time to learn here. Fine, I don't think that's wrong or whatever, he came from a small school etc.
But you've got 4 cheap years. You essentially torch one for a redshirt year for a guy that's a bit physically limited compared to some other guys. So say he takes his year and then hits his theoretical ceiling. Is that a player you look at extending?
With the high floor lower ceiling, I think you could argue probably not. So then you've burned a top 60 pick on a guy you are getting 3 years out of. That doesn't scream great value.
Alot of this is projecting for sure.
