The toughest part of Moore’s play so far for me is that a true alpha was sitting right there for us when we traded back and picked him instead. We’re presumably never going to have a high enough draft pick during the Mahomes era to have the opportunity to get a top 3-ish WR talent coming out of college, yet we had that chance and passed on it.
I’m going to fantasize about what could’ve been every time I see Pickens Moss somebody or make some freakish one-handed catch. Mahomes could go nuts with a guy like like that and he would’ve taken pressure off Kelce. He’s the potential WR1 we’re going to have a tough time getting picking at or near the end of the 1st every year. So many of us were banging the table for Pickens, seemed so obvious. I actually had us trading out of the 1st and picking Pickens and Tariq Woolen in the 2nd.
Look, there’s no disputing - at least in my mind - that Veach is one of the absolute top GMs in he league. The trade up for McDuffie was a great move. Drafting Josh Williams in the 4th was a great move (and exactly who I had us picking with one of our 4ths). Turns out we could’ve gotten Woolen in the 4th but we picked Kinnard instead. Could you even fathom coming out of that draft with McDuffie, Woolen, and Josh Williams at CB? With Pickens, Chenal and Pacheco thrown in too? Would’ve been a draft for the ages. Wouldn’t have even needed Jaylen Watson, who’s a nice player but not even on the same planet as Woolen. Woolen might be even better than McDuffie.
No GM is ever going to get every pick right, but Veach having Moore and Kinnard higher on his board than Pickens and Woolen were pretty glaring misses.
