[QUOTE="GleefulGary, post: 903961, member: 12583"] I think not taking an athlete who was incredibly productive against good talent, while having extremely high testing results, all because he’s an inch or two too short, is well, short sighted. When it comes to Rondale Moore, him being 5’7 or 5’9 doesn’t change his game at all. He’s a slot only, manufactured touch player. He was never going to play on the outside. He doesn’t have long arms, so he will have to find ways to get open bc contested catches are going to be more difficult for him. Well guess what?! He’s good at getting open because he’s a freak athlete! He’s like a supercharged Wes Welker or Edelman! Moore’s issues have more to do with health than his size. So sure, he might fit a database better if he was 5’9, but it wouldn’t change his game in the least bit. As far as evaluating him as a player, I don’t think it matters that much. Now if Moore was a player that in college won on the outside a lot, and used his speed/strength to get open, then I think it’s a different topic. But he didn’t. He was a slot and manufactured touch player. That’s his game. It will continue to be his game. His height (or lack thereof), doesn’t change it. I’d take him round 2, easily. If he was there in the 3rd, I’d sprint it in. When it comes to Devonta Smith, I mean, what more do you want the guy to do? He beat everybody he played, and it wasn’t close. And don’t give me the “he’s surrounded by talent” BS. That matters for Mac Jones, not Smith. Smith went Mano y Mano with some of the top CB’s in the country the past two years, against players that will excel in the NFL, but people don’t think he can do it in the league? Cmon! He’s a stud. I’ll be flabbergasted if he isn’t good. He’s better than Calvin Ridley, at a minimum. [/QUOTE]
