What bothered me the most about his story was that his source was a person working for the Chiefs that was sharing information that they had no business sharing.

I tried to figure out who this Chiefs person might be, but when I got to the part about borrowing a weed whip, I thought this was bullshit.

They would be too busy, be able to afford yard care, or buy their own damn tools.

Also, if there really is someone working for the Chiefs sharing inside information, they need to stop it.

Chiefs come close to the titans offer, but iwth more incentives, the news media winds up the press machine as they see the Chiefs having a good shot at getting D-Hop. D-Hop's agent goes back to the Titans and say the Chiefs are close and he wants to play with Mahomes... and Titans say 2 for $26m, up to $32 with incentives... They come back to the Chiefs, and the Chiefs laugh. D-Hop signs with the Tits...

Breer also provided insight into the Chiefs’ pursuit of Hopkins. The defending Super Bowl champions were long mentioned as a potential destination, in spite of their cap constraints. Before the draft, Breer notes, Kansas City offered a base salary of $4MM with incentives pushing the contract’s maximum value to $10MM. Hopkins was thought to be waiting for the Chiefs to free up money via a Chris Jones extension, but his Tennessee agreement has come before any developments on that front. Even with manufactured cap space for this season, Kansas City likely would not have realistically been able to outbid Tennessee.

Not necessarily gospel, but the most information I've seen on the matter.

Originally Posted by Balto (Post 17022510)

This states that Veach's offer was BEFORE the draft which included a trade and the Cards picking up a lot of Hopkins cash which they declined.

Thus Veach probably didn't offer anything to Hopkins as a free agent and the "Chiefs stayed in contact with Hopkins" could have very easily been "We are interested but will need to get Jones contract done before we give you an offer".

Like I said, he doesn't seem to have the burst needed to get to the corner/create separation, but as a route-runner he's already better than Hardman was maybe ever, has very good hands. He should be pretty good from the slot.

But yeah, he's not Hardman, he's not going to be a Hardman replacement. For gadget-type plays, Toney is the replacement.

Originally Posted by Razaele (Post 16839256)

He seems like a slot guy who doesn't have the size to work on the outside or be much of a blocker, who hasn't really demonstrated the ability to consistently generate separation, and has ball security issues. He certainly has quickness off the line and can be a role player, but the limitations are significant. I don't think he compares favorably to Hardman.

Originally Posted by Razaele (Post 17019349)

The book on Moore was that he projected strictly to a slot role, he has good ball skills but doesn't have elite speed and isn't a great route runner. He didn't seem to generate a lot of separation in the passing game when he was getting snaps last season so I thought it checked out.

Kind of the mirror image of MVS in some ways. MVS has the size and speed, but doesn't have great hands, is limited in the routes he can run well, etc

These guys are both nice complimentary pieces to a depth chart with a No 1 but that isn't us.

Are you high?

Moore had a lot of analysts panting about his route running coming into the draft, his separation numbers were good last year, and you can see him on tape separating from an elite DB (Derwin James) when matched up 1x1.

Originally Posted by Razaele (Post 17019360)

There are a lot of similarities between James' game and Skyy Moore's. Undersized, quickness rather than speed, good with the ball in his hands but won't run away from defenders.

Originally Posted by Razaele (Post 17019365)

He caught ~20 balls last year, and he has more fumbles lost than touchdowns.

I hope the guy works out, but I think we can pump the brakes on all that.

Originally Posted by Razaele (Post 17019376)

Yeah, I'm not saying these guys are bad, but I think we have a list of guys you'd think of more as slot receivers and role players behind someone else.

We're missing the guy who could be the 1/2 punch with Kelce, a Kupp-type reliable first down WR, or someone like a Brown, Jefferson, Diggs, etc who can create problems in a lot of different ways at all levels of the defense.

If Toney can stay healthy then maybe we've got a pretty good group, but he's been hurt for the majority of his 3 seasons in the league, I don't know how you can count on that.

Originally Posted by Razaele (Post 17019388)

If you think of an optimistic projection for Skyy Moore to become a big contributor, maybe the comp is Christian Kirk. Same sort of player, but in a good situation and with generally good QB play, had a big year. Hopefully things turn out more in that direction for Skyy.

Originally Posted by duncan_idaho (Post 17019392)

He caught 20 balls largely because he was a rookie in Andy Reid's system behind veteran receivers, with a highly productive veteran playing the position he was best suited for (Smith-Schuster).

There's no need to "pump" the brakes on anything I said.

Multiple draft folks/scouts talked about his route-running and ability to separate quickly. (You can find this if you try)

His average separation/"open" numbers have been posted before (and have now been posted in this very thread)

And his tape from the Chargers game Smith-Schuster missed is available. You can watch it and see him beating Derwin James in key third-down spots when matched up 1x1 in man coverage.

Your take that he wasn't regarded as a good route runner and didn't "seem" to create separation was wildly off-target, and easily shown as such.

Originally Posted by Kiimo (Post 17019395)

Okay he doesn't return punts anymore, fumble problem solved. He had never done it before, he isn't great at it. They made Tyreek return punts his rookie year too. Others can do that better, whatever.



The real point is, Skyy Moore gets open. It was immediately obvious from his college tape and it still is. Skyy Moore will make a great slot receiver for this team. Instead of pumping the brakes, you should pump the neighbor's dog.

We all hope he can do it at this level. It remains unproven.

Originally Posted by Kiimo (Post 17019409)

What are you talking about?

And in case you haven't noticed, Moore is not working out.

He probably already knows that.

If Mahomes wants to throw to someone, I'll trust that. He doesn't know how players will adjust to the NFL, the complete fit in a scheme/role, and so on through all the different variables... but, he seems like a pretty good quarterback at least with some pretty good leadership around him, so I guess we're stuck with the risk that they aren't perfectly able to hit on every draft pick to the extent of being immediately productive.

Shame.

The frustrating thing is even the common fan was like pick Metcalf over Hardman. Pick Pickens over Moore. The draft gurus, the common fan, the former coaches, the diehard fan. Nobody really understood why they picked the WR we did before them. Sometimes you outsmart yourself. Take the low hanging fruit. Imagine Pickens & Metcalf as our WRs today? If you are gonna take a flier on guys do it in the later rounds. If it is a one off its no big deal. There is so much luck in drafting Im not ready to conclusively say its a trend but if Rice busts then it is. So far though I like Rices pedigree bjt most draft nerds also didnt like the pick.

There were some character concerns surrounding Pickens when he was coming out that it’s entirely possible - and in my view likely - that he wasn’t even on the board for the Chiefs as a result (or was much lower on the board). And that’s why they felt comfortable trading down.

As for Metcalf vs Hardman, this is kinda an easy one: Hardman looks a lot more like Tyreek Hill whom he was drafted to replace/as insurance for than Metcalf.

Originally Posted by MahomesMagic (Post 17096487)

DK also fast but clumsy. So Mclaurin was the fit if they wanted a type.

he's undersized 5'9", 180 lbs., and he shies away from contact. Not great with contested balls. limited ability between the numbers, almost strictly a boundary receiver.
