Powpow Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Moore is exactly what we need to compliment Decker, Marshall and Kerley, all who lack premier speed. This is a no brainer and would save us using a draft pick on a WR. Kid has excellent hands. he's not just a burner, runs crisp routes, isn't intimated by going over the middle, has ability to return punts and kickoffs. I remember seeing highlights of the Raiders a few years back and this kid was always on the reel. His 2014 stats obviously affected by Carr's learning curve. Al Davis would never have let this kid go at this point in his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Harper Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Is this guy fast ? I can't remember. I know he was relevant for a few weeks here and there a few years ago. Boy I wish we had Stephen Hill to stretch the field. What happened to Moore by the way ? He fell off the map last year. Really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drdetroit Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 He's could be this year's Jacoby Ford. Or Chaz Schilens the year before that. I hate these "buy low" WR's everyone is so infatuated with. 10 times out of 10 these guys absolutely blow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate these "buy low" WR's everyone is so infatuated with. 10 times out of 10 these guys absolutely blow. I posted the same thing using different words. Your way is better! This could also be applied to trading Milliner. Except reverse it for the team that wants him. 95/100 times a buy-low candidate blows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdflip78 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 i like moore on the cheap. still want a wr in rds 1-3 tho Agreed. Is his league-wide value so down that he would accept a 1 year deal with minimal guaranteed money? That's really the only way I would advocate doing this prior to the draft.

kmnj Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 sign him-he was lost in raiders garbage land-he has great skills and blazing speed which the jets dont have now is he a lock to be a stud ofcourse not if he was he would not be around still. Sign him and if it fails cut him that is all-we are not talking about any real money here if it works we find gold amongst the dirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFJF Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 Why sign any player like this prior to the draft? They should be in chill mode till after the draft. Cheap, proven, fills a need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flgreen Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 If they can get him cheap, or a one year show me deal, which might work since he is off a down year, should be a good pick up.

Powpow Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Pass. Just draft a receiver in the 1st or 2nd round. Unwise to use a high pick on a WR after we are pretty much set there.

Playing behind Marshall, and Decker, on certain plays, he should be able win in a 1-1 foot race against #3 DB's He's proven to win 1-1 against #1 DB's. His main problem must be attitude as since Carr and him got into it after the game winning interception the Pats made on them, he's barely touched the field.

I'd take a player with speed + production over a guy who just has the speed. Plenty of fast guys who have never made plays on a consistent basis (or at all) in the league. Our QB situation is bad now and for the foreseeable future. At least try to maximize offensive output on those occasions in which the QB hits the target IMO.

bman Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Here's the deal. Is there an Amari Cooper in every draft? There usually is. If they sign Denarius I think the pick is an OLB or QB at 6. They can get a WR in the 2016 draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFJF Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 Again, what level of production are you expecting from your #4 WR who is really going to be the 5th possibly 6th option? Do you really think there will be two or three WR's on the roster who will be capable of what Moore did in Oakland when given the chance? His level of production would be nothing more than a wild guess at this point as we have no idea what type of offense Gailey will run. We're assuming spread but that remains to be seen. If it is a spread offense then I expect Gailey to spread it around because they'll have a number of viable targets. If they can get Moore on the cheap and run the spread, I'll go ahead and say 45 grabs for 550ish yards and 5+ TDS while opening things up underneath for the other WR's who will benefit from his ability to keep a defense honest. Like I said, not the end of the world if he's not signed, but I like the idea of getting a guy with his skill set who has also proven he can get it done at this level as opposed to a late round/developmental speedster.

Why are you objecting to this? The guy is only in his mid 20s and has produced on the NFL level. He will probably wind up signing a cheap 1 year "make good" contract with us or someone else so I don't get what the big deal is. The guy is blazing fast and would definitely stretch the field for Marshall, Decker and Kerley. We can still draft a Stefon Diggs in the third round.

JetBlue Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Unwise to use a high pick on a WR after we are pretty much set there. The draft is loaded with quality speedsters at WR. No way jose does Mac waste a 1 or 2 on a WR. Gotta agree here. I was of that opinion prior to free agency but with the addition of Marshall, we can get a "developmental" player later in the draft and address other needs in the first and second rounds. Only way it makes sense to go receiver is if someone like DGB is staring us in the face in the 2nd round... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way jose does Mac waste a 1 or 2 on a WR. It's never a waste to choose the best guy there. Things can change so much within only 2 years in this league. If you pass on a Kevin White and two years from now he is the next dez bryant while we have taken a guard or olb that is not panning out there is lots of regret. Time and time again guys that have been picked when that team is strong in that area already they pan out. If a guy as good as a Wr is there in a position of more need by all means but i am against avoiding a position because 'we have it covered' Our own classic example, sheldon richardson. We had no big need for a dlineman, we picked one anyway, two years later he is better than the other guys we had there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So just for sh*ts and giggles, I did a quick look at the pass happy teams by most attempts in the league last year. None of them had 4th WR come close to that type of production. And as an example, I took the best year offensively for the Bills under Gailey and checked out the production their 4#. 23, 231, 1. This is just signing someone to sign someone. Its just getting stupid at this point, IMO. Marshall > Decker > Kerley > Amaro > RB's > Moore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
