4. Skyy Moore - WR
Moore missed the second half of the season and the playoff run with an injury, but he's a similar boat that Kadarius Toney is in. The 2022 second-round selection's ice isn't as thin as Toney's, but he's at risk of being quickly phased out of the offense should the Chiefs prioritize wide receiver as expected.
After a disappointing rookie campaign with just 250 receiving yards, Moore caught 21 passes for 244 yards and one TD in 2023. He's struggled with drops and separation, failing to earn Patrick Mahomes' trust despite being in the system for two years.
Given the significant troubles the wide receiver room gave Kansas City's offense, you can understand if Veach chooses to find Moore's potential replacement early in the 2024 draft.
On the Mahomes fumble in Denver, it appears he was reading the field side, then came back to Skyy Moore on a dig route.

However, by the time Mahomes saw him, it was a shrinking window and he didn't seem to trust it.

Plays like this one underscore the troubles that Mahomes' limited trust in Moore can cause. If Mahomes hesitates and doesn't believe in Moore to make the right play, the timing of the entire offense is screwed up.
Sometimes it takes wide receivers a few years to adjust to the speed of the NFL. That may be the case with Moore, but early results are discouraging about his long-term prospects as a member of the organization.
