I mean Toney was a top-20 pick who the Giants thought about taking at 12 but took a chance in moving down a bit and still got him.

Moore went at what, 54? There are reasons for that. Moore has a really good toolbox and he was drafted with the full intent to replace Hardman in 2023. That's exactly the role he's built for.

Toney, on the other hand, is built to be a #1 WR if he puts it all together mentally. It's a comparison of apples to oranges man. It's like gauging the excitement this board would have had if the Chiefs drafted Jameson Williams in the 1st instead of Moore in the 2nd. Clearly better skill sets physically.

You really can't continue your silly rant against Moore in this context. He wasn't drafted to be an instant starter with the group in place this year and he wasn't drafted to be a #1 WR. He's shown some ability. Give him some time.

Honestly, I can't believe how much people here expect the instant superstar impact from draft picks. There are going to be warts early on. We got hordes saying Karlaftis sucks, McDuffie is a broke dick, Moore will never amount to shit, and Cook is a wasted pick because he didn't unseat a very good player in Juan Thornhill this season.

If you're expecting these rookies to be All-Pros, you're probably asking a bit much. Let them develop. These guys are 8 ****ing games into their careers.

Karlaftis actually is getting some pressure. Justin Houston is in the 100-sack club and was a very good player here. You know he didn't get his first sack until game 12 of his rookie year?

McDuffie was never injured in college, give him a chance. He was pretty locked in before the injury.

Moore is buried behind a few vets and learning the playbook. Some HOF-caliber WRs didn't have great starts to their careers. I mean, Steve Smith had 10 catches in his first season. And I don't care if he sucks at special teams, I'd rather he turns into a good WR.

Cook is most definitely the starter next year and functioning in the 3rd safety role and learning for now.

Deal is Hardman looked much better than Moore at the same point on their careers. Moore, often times, looks like he doesn't belong out there. We'll see how it goes, it's still early, but he certainly has not impressed this far.
