JetBlue Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 I don't know guys, Moore is definitely a good player and I'm sure Zach will be excited to have him but I think Eskeridge would have been the better value and he just went to the Seahawks at pick 61. I really wish JD would have traded down 10 or so picks, gotten another pick (even if it was a 4th rounder) and taken him. Maybe he didn't like any of the offers, who knows but I don't really see anything that Moore does that Eskeridge can't do. Eskeridge also has blazing speed in fact I think he is faster and also played on special teams. I have been looking but I have not seen Moore returning any punts or kicks... Eskeridge excelled at it. I guess we have to trust JD on this one. Dwayne Eskeridge 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He certainly plays faster and I don't think that is debatable. He also plays and excels on special teams. His age is definitely a negative but if you watched him play, I don't think you would give a sh*t about his 3 cone. Any way it is a moot point as Moore is a Jet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post kdels62 Posted May 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 1, 2021 You’d be right if Eskeridge was drafted in round 4. In round 2, the 21 year old with a similar athletic profile and success in the SEC is a better value. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because that is what we are really talking about. I think SEC argument is pretty bogus since our quarterback that we took at 2 played in the WAC. We have seen plenty of small school receivers excel and dominate in the NFL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Seattle took him in the second round not in the fourth so apparently he was valued alot higher than 4th. The conference argument is somewhat weak as we have too many examples of players coming from small schools and dominating. His speed and skillset would be dominant no matter conference he played in.

sirlancemehlot Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Moore had insane production, averaging over 10 catches a game. That alone tells you the guy gets open at an amazing rate pee snap. That's part of lifting a young QB. give him a receiver that separates and battles. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to have a better chance of making the explosive play that the Jets have lacked in forever. A combination of Mims, Davis, Cole, Moore and Crowder will be a solid set of receivers for Wilson. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a 24 year old receiver playing in a slower conference. He’s a literally man amongst boys. Year of breakout is a good measure of player success for WRs. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larz Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 I mean at this point can’t we put a little faith in JD and LaFleur? Maccagnan lost his job because he didn’t pick types the coaches wanted , didn’t even sit down to discuss it JD and Saleh and LaFleur are on the same page.

Nixhead Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Elijah Moore is a friggin weapon. He will be our leading receiver and he will lead in yards from scrimmage. He will get the ball 10-12 times a game. I'm not even going to watch the highlights of the other guy - no need to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

undertow Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 You aren't going to know who the best receivers are until they get on the field why even fret about it right now? Moore could be the best WR in the draft like Jefferson or he could be a bust who the F knows. We basically have two rookie receivers in Mims and Moore just be happy we didn't draft D lineman and pass rushers they are at least attempting to build a offense through the draft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
