Their skill sets are the same. Neither has proven much in the NFL. Only difference is one had a horrible injury and the other didn't. Also if you thought Samuel was going to be 100% why not draft a guy that's tall, fast, and runs good routes? 

Moore is a Hurney project pic. Could have had the prototype but no, we go with someone that had a lot of YAC playing at Maryland who doesn't look like he can catch deep balls. Sounds like a Panther WR.

that was supposed to be worley and bradberry. yet here we are.

It does feel similar and no question- Worley was a bust. But it’s a matter of perspective.

The biggest difference will be the prior seasons. When we drafted those two guys, we had just lost Norman. Obvious drop off followed and all the pressure fell on their shoulders for the struggles. 

I can tell you there’s no way for our secondary to be worse than it was last year, so Jackson/Gaulden are already coming into a better(ish) environment. The pressure should not be directly placed on them and I think they will have a better chance to thrive because of it.
