I mentioned it at the time of the Toney trade. Someone asked what this says about Moore and the usual suspects of course said "NOTHING!"
My response was "nothing good..."
Because I agree with you - had Moore shown out, it's less likely we're involved in that Toney conversation because it's just not on the radar. But with Moore gacking punts and being a non-factor on offense, Veach went turning over stones and found Toney.
So I guess it's a
good thing in that regard.
I just think the idea that idea that our 2nd round picks struggles had zero bearing on the decision to give up a 3rd round pick for another WR when our top 3 guys are pretty much locked in place is...bizarre. Of course it mattered. It wasn't dispositive, but it was a consideration.
