2021 2nd round pick is Rondale Moore WR

[Cardsfaninlouky]

He was injured in 2019, but in 2020 his team only played a total of 6 games and he missed 3 due to covid. He also played in all 13 games in 2018. It's hard to call him a major injury risk based on that.

Yes sir & the 13 games he played in 2018 what did he do? Became a 1st team all american. This kid can play.

David Boston could squat a lot too.

Is there some proven translation between squatting and receiving...?

Yes, but Boston was pumping steroids into his butt on a regular basis.

Good pick. Keim must have stepped out for a drink

Sure sounds good… we shall see.

“How tall is fast?” Great quote. Hope it becomes part of his legend.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

He looked great in 2018. I can't get all that excited about a gadget player that is short, difficult to see, struggles with injuries, is at best our 3rd WR, and is going to still leave us out of luck in terms of a true #2 outside WR, so we'll be signing or drafting another next year.

We keep drafting guys who split time or are complementary pieces. Where are the true starters?

I don’t think you can say “at best our 3rd WR” until we see him play. Steve smith wasn’t a 3rd WR. Tyreek isn’t a 3rd WR.

Are you serious?

Yeah seems an odd post.

 

[Cardsfaninlouky]

Didn’t someone on here rave about Isabella bc he grew up in the same area two years ago?

I can't speak for AI cause I'm from Louisville, KY but I can tell you that this kid is a baller. I watched him play in high school & AI isn't in the same universe as this kid. You'll see.

 

[football karma]

at this point in the draft, all the players have ? about them

i think to win a superbowl, you need some players that are special

Moore has special potential.

Is he starting over AJ Green? I don't see it. Smith was a 3rd rounder, Tyreek a 5th.

Moore's also 2/3 inches shorter than them, respectively.

You've addressed outliers yourself, I believe... this would be another major outlier in terms of success.

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Having ISabella tied for best negates any positives I can take from those stats.

Athleticism is only beneficial if you can catch, run routes and understand concepts.

If Keim were a track coach, he’d be #1.

 

[PACardsFan]

It was a nagging hamstring pull.

I’m 5’6 and could squat mid 500’s in my powerlifting days. And I pulled a ton of hammy’s because of that.

I understand your concerns & yes 2018 was a great year for him, so great in fact that he became a 1st team all american. The one thing lots of people on here said about AI after adding Dhop is exactly what Moore can do. Give you an open field/down field threat to single up coverage on him. We'll be drafting another WR in 2022 not because of drafting Moore, but because A.J Green will need to be replaced. If Moore is used right in 2021, Kirk will be expendable. He can be our #2 WR. Then in 2022, we draft our #3 at some point. Keim has made mistakes drafting WR's for sure but the Moore pick isn't one of them imo, you'll see. Yes, Marshall from LSU would've also been a good choice but you also need a few burners that are small & get lost behind the defense because of height. Steve Smith never seemed to have a problem with his height & he will be a HOF.

He is starting over Kirk

He is starting over Kirk

Kirk isn't a starter at this point really.

Also, we'll see.

What is a strong reason to not trade Kirk now?

LOL another slot receiver what a joke.

 

[Cardsfaninlouky]

Even the strongest guys in the world can overwork. I think this guy will probably be dynamite in flashes, but not a consistent weapon.

All I can say right now is just wait & see bro. This kid can flat out play. There's a reason why he gave DC's in the Big 10 sleepless nights trying to figure out how to defend him. Injuries happen in our violent sport we love, any player on any given play, practice or a game can get hurt & size has nothing to do with it for the most part.

Probably the whole "no one wants him" thing.

 

[Dayman]

78% of Moore's catches were within 10 yards of the LOS. I wouldn't count on him becoming the next Tyreek Hill.

[ajcardfan]

I thought he was the player with the greatest upside when we picked him. I watched Purdue in a few games this past year and he constantly stood out. Without him, that offense would have been awful. IMO.



The reaction on this pick and every pick we make in this draft is going to get a strong knee jerk negative reaction from a lot of this board. That is more about Keim than the players. These first two picks were not terrible given the circumstances.

This draft class was disappointing to me. Once you got to around pick 10 quality dropped rapidly and is still dropping compared to last year's draft. JMO.

 

[Germz249]

Seems like some people aren’t happy with this pick. I will admit I have no clue to draft picks.

My question is who should the Cardinals have taken instead of Moore?

Pat Freiermuth, honestly.

LOL. Many many Kids who look dominant in high school amount to nothing two levels up. Matt Leinart was a super-stud in high school. So was Josh Rosen.

Big 12 doesn’t play defense so whatevs there. 18 games in 3 years!
