Chiefs get Mahomes another weapon in Skyy Moore
The Kansas City Chiefs selected Western Michigan wide receiver Skyy Moore in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft, No. 54 overall.
Moore will join a new-look receiving group in Kansas City. Tyreek Hill was traded to the Miami Dolphins in a blockbuster move, while Byron Pringle and Demarcus Robinson left in free agency.
The Chiefs replenished quarterback Patrick Mahomes' arsenal with free agents JuJu Smith-Schuster and Marquez Valdes-Scantling.
Moore produced 95 catches for 1,292 yards and 10 touchdowns last season.
Receivers flew off the board in the first two rounds. Moore was the 13th wideout taken, hearing his name called immediately after the Pittsburgh Steelers selected George Pickens and the Indianapolis Colts nabbed Alec Pierce.
Scouting profile: Skyy MooreSchool | Height | Weight | 40 time |
---|---|---|---|
Western Michigan | 5'10 | 195 | 4.41 |
Moore is a compact yet well-built pass-catcher who uses his suddenness and crafty footwork to create separation. What he lacks in height, he makes up for with toughness and a competitive nature that seeps into all aspects of his game. The 21-year-old was a big-play machine that Western Michigan used all around the formation, but he projects as primarily a slot receiver in the pros. With oversized hands and efficient routes, he'll quickly become a safety net for his next quarterback while also offering enough speed to threaten defenses downfield.
