The problem is an obvious one - if Moore is good at LT and you have Taylor's big cap number next year, the slide over to RT feels inevitable. And Moore has been buns at RT throughout his career so you really don't want to move him over there.
So my plan costs us a year of valuable development time if you see him as your long-term RT. And if the Chiefs decided to use the 2025 season to redshirt him as he transitions to RT, I would completely understand that.
But I think he has LT tools and would love to see him stay at LT to fully develop them and potentially replace Moore at LT in 2027. If Moore proves to be more than average to slightly above average at LT and you extend him, so be it. But I think Ersery's tools are significantly better than Moore's and he has the raw talent to be at/near a pro bowl level with patience (and maybe then you see Kingsley or even Wanya make the shift to RT).
