I was hoping he wouldn’t get much attention, but he ruined that today:

He is super electric, but a bit short. Would love him in R2.

In early January and February mock drafts, he was typically penciled in as our selection.
I personally don't like him as much as I do Toney to be honest.
Moore has a very limited route tree and is small. He had a bunch of injuries then sat out for Covid. I don't see him as a #1 WR at all.
Talent wise he could be a late 1st/early 2nd, but I'd hesitate in this draft to take him in the 2nd for the Bears due to all the other guys I like in the 2nd-3rd round.
I will kill you if you cut me at the knees. You will drink with me when invited and stay til I say so. We only listen to American Music. I make men nervous with just my presence. I expect an apology if you hold. I throw linemen at QB's. Believe the Lore!

I love him but he'd need to be part of a plan where the Bears retain Robinson

It will be curious to see what Jaelon Darden does tomorrow. Very similar players. On tape, it appears that Moore is faster and has a bit more power, but Darden might be a bit shiftier. I also really like how Darden sets up defenders in his route running. Think he might be had in the third round as well.

Looks like Darden ran a 4.48 40 and ran a 4.07 second 20-yard shuttle and a 6.65 three-cone drill. Those quickness numbers are awesome but Elijah Moore is getting more attention because his 40 was faster.

There are a bunch of very athletic little slot guys this year and it’s hard to predict how teams will value them.

That seems real slow for Darden on the field. It's not what I found on twitter:



Even that 4.4 seems slow to me. But hell, Devin Hester ran a 4.43.

I miss the Combine.

Did anybody notice that Micah Parsons ran a fucking 4.39. Holy Shit for a LB!

Moore measured at 5-7 at his Pro Day (vs the listed 5-9) ... not sure if that makes him a realistic 2nd round pick.

However ....
