Uzo is clearly the more receiving-focused of the two, but even if you had them both out there, it is entirely possible that the best matchup would be Sample. It will be interesting to see.
I think the addition of Moss is being somewhat overlooked. I didn't realize that he had a second foot injury found at the "combine" and that he had to have surgery on that foot as well, which cost him most of his rookie season. I think, when healthy, that Moss can be a nice rotational player. He is already a very solid blocker and that is one of the biggest hangups of putting out a rookie is if they can hold their own blocking. He may not be a burner, but has really reliable hands and is a stout blocker. He could be another Sample and based on the signing as an UDFA, that would be pretty nice.
We are definitely better at TE with the addition of Moss and Sample having an okay season under his belt. These guys are solid,
they just aren't those big play TE's that help the best teams make the Playoffs every year which is what I want. Biggest reason I
was hoping for Pitts over Sewell and Chase, but love Chase almost just as much and we needed another Receiver and there was
no one in this Draft better than Chase IMO.
CJ O'Grady is an underrated UDFA signing for us in my opinion and so is Pro Wells. One of these guys might see playing time if
someone goes down. Moss being healthy and back with his LSU compadres should help, he has all the opportunity in the world
to earn a spot and run with it. But it won't be easy for him which is nice. Uzo and Sample are very solid and like you said, Moss's
game resembles Sample's game a lot.
