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.

Look at Khalen Saunders. Drafted in the mid-80s and by the time he's a FA we'll get one good season out of him.
Ultimately that's an okay return on the pick. Especially if his time here makes it easier for us to retain him. And Moore could absolutely end on a similar track - but the cost is still substantially higher at 54 than 84. Especially when there was badly needed DL help available to us and that help is contributing in big ways right now.
