pre-draft, I did not see what anyone loved about Moore or why he was so highly rated.

None of the prognosticators seemed to have an issue with any of that, and he was pretty universally judged a solid second round talent, so I got on board with it after the fact.
Turns out, I was wrong on Pickens, and right on Moore the first time.
I don't need my team to be full of boy scouts, but Pickens is the kind of asshole I just can't root for. He's a Marcus Peters style headcase, and I grew to hate that ****ing guy, too.

Skyy had some characteristics that were enticing. He had the biggest hands at the combine, a solid catch %, elite burst from the snap (one of the best 10 yard split times) a solid 4.43 40 time and was reportedly a good route runner for a guy that hadn't played WR that long.
Some posters here keep talking about the small school aspect but Rice went to SMU and played at a lower level of competition as well.
Sometimes guys from small schools make it, like Rashee Rice and Khalen Saunders. Sometimes they don't.
The big thing that we talked about was that Veach can't have complete flops with early draft picks like he did with Breeland Speaks. It's hard to compete when you get nothing from a 2nd rd pick and are paying your QB.
If you can get something from them and have them contribute in some way like Clyde and Hardman, it's not terrible, but getting nothing from Skyy is hurting us
