With the recent signing of DeVante Parker, the feel in the air is that the Patriots might not be on course for that top round wide receiver.
I know how that will upset many of you John Metchie fans, but there could be a back-up plan.
The Patriots still don’t have that typical slot receiver, known to some as the Julian Edelman, although it could be argued that Parker is a bit of a Swiss Army Knife when it comes to his skill set.
Out of Western Michigan is Skyy Moore. A 5’10” kid who has said to have moulded himself on the mighty squirrel JE11.
Now, I know some may not approve, but when a guy says he models himself on Edelman, it’s difficult not to pay attention to him.
Wide receivers have been going at hefty price tags this free agency and unsurprising the draft class has been possibly affected as a reflection with Moore being projected as a later round guy initially, is now being talked about as a first rounder.
This may not work out great for the Patriots with plenty of need going into this year’s draft, and that 21 spot kinda, sorta wanting to be filled with a top cornerback or linebacker, depending upon which side of the fence you fall.
He has great movement skills and no issue getting off the line. He is short, but at 195 pounds, he’s not exactly small! One of the downsides is that he is said to have performed well, but against lower level opponents.
No clairvoyancey here, but Moore has some definite pluses for this Patriots team who could do with a slot receiver. Should he go at 21? Will he? That’s another bag of tricks entirely, and I am not for a moment saying the Patriots should use their first round pick on him.
My goal here was to shine a light on a guy who I think might be a good Patriot. Just my two cents, especially because it feels that at the moment the Patriots have so many holes to fill. Could a top wide receiver really be what they need at 21? Many say yes, and they would be well within their rights to. I’m not so sure myself if I’m more on the cornerback or offensive lineman bandwagon, but it really depends upon who falls when the Patriots are sitting there, waiting to make that 21st pick.
Keep an eye on Pats Propaganda as I scope out a couple more Patriots possible prospects for this 2022 draft.
