Chiefs to target Dan or Jaylen Moore today?

[staylor26]

From Albert Breer:





I'd be happy with either guy as long as the price isn't crazy. Both young ascending LTs.

While he more often than not gets out of it by scrambling, does Mahomes not also make life harder on his OTs with his constant deep drops?

Patrick needs Moore time to throw

I understand you need to preemptively defend anything the Chiefs even MIGHT do to keep that record of yours intact but I don't imagine you have given Dan Moore a second thought prior to the last week or two.

I've already had this dialogue with myself back in December or January. I mentioned him as an off-season possibility back while we were still playing. And decided to look into him then.

And I think he's about what Wanya Morris would be. I just don't see anything he has that Morris doesn't. The Steelers just left him out there despite a horrific 2023 and he was barely adequate in 2024; mostly the same sort of excruciatingly mediocre he was in 2022. It's as likely as not that 2024 was a contract year outlier.

That's not a player that's appears to be improving - it's a guy who returned to the very forgettable form he showed in 2022.

We did very well last year with a major problem at LT, but we also had a lot of luck along the way. We don't have to get one of the best at LT, we need to get an adequate LT. It's not what any of us would prefer, especially with the prospect of breaking someone new into the LG spot, but it''s the reality we have to accept.

I'd rather bring back Humphries and put Morris at guard while continuing to develop Kingsley as an OT. Dan Moore has no meaningful ceiling, IMO. If you sign him hoping that he'll provide an 'island' tackle, you're going to be disappointed.

Both Humphries and Kingsley have the traits to do that job with health or experience respectively. Dan Moore just doesn't.

I would rather sing Jaylon to reasonable contract and have him compete for the job. I don't think that will happen, its just the nature of free agency - he's going to get over paid....


Honestly, all the options are kinda gross - but I'd like to throw numbers at the problem - sign and draft and hope one of these guys pans out. If you end up with two starting LT - that is a good problem to have.

Moore was worse the year prior.

And Mahomes does everything BUT make things easy on his OTs.

Jaylon Moore’s build looks exactly like Kingsley in uniform.

If they sign him and he turns out to not be a fit…

Both options have me pretty nervous.

So we are holding our breath for Jaylon at this point, correct?

[wazu]

My Steelers fan friend just texted that Dan Moore is pretty good, so letting you all know.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Jaylon Moore has sub-34 inch arms.

Dan’s above it.

Dude, all I did was a call a young player that by all accounts has gotten better every year and coming off a career year an "ascending" player and you have to turn it into an argument. He's not my first choice, maybe not even my second. I literally acknowledged the first time I brought him up as an option for me that I've been dismissive up until this point, but I posted that before there was any strong connection to the Chiefs.

He's average, the hope is that he can maybe keep developing into slightly above average. That's it.

Can't find the post now, but someone on here was claiming they had inside info the Chiefs were after Dan Moore yesterday.

Every dollar of the salary cap is an asset. Every draft pick is an asset. Managing those assets in pursuit of players is critical to the success of the team and spending that much on the LT position that may or may not solve the problem seems like a waste when we need to fill other holes.
