I am skeptical that Moore is actually driving this. Before the hire Mickey Loomis stressed that the most important thing for the coaching hire was to be 'on the same page' as him. I feel like Moore's job is to say yes sir, absolutely sir, you sure are a genius Mr. Loomis sir.

Russel Wilson was 23 when drafted. Shough is 25 and will be 26 in September.

But as much as I am skeptical of this pick I do commend the team for not trading up, not trading future picks, and not drafting a reach, project, or injury prone player in the first round. Ultimately they took a shot in the 2nd round. Given the injury history and the lack of proven production due to the injury history, I doubt the pick works out, but at least its a cheap-ish shot with the size and athleticism that didnt cost a ton. Its not a worst case scenario. Probably he is Chris Weinke, but maybe there is a small shot he is Josh Allen, and taking that shot is not the worst thing we can do. Acting shocked if he does get injured down the line would be stupid though.
