Overview

Moore has the height, hands, and mentality to develop into a quality backup possession-type receiver in the NFL. However, at this time still needs to put on some more weight and would really benefit from gaining a step of initial quickness. Takes too long to reach top speed and will struggle to gain separation on underneath patterns. Is tough and productive making catches over the middle. Has the length, ball skills and top-end speed to potentially make some plays vertically. Flashes the ability to be a good run blocker and needs to be a little more nasty. Moore's carries a Day 3 grade.

Analysis

Strengths

Moore has good height and some deep speed. Has become a better route-runner. Sets up defensive backs with moves to gain separation. Has excellent hands and ball skills. Plucks and snatches the ball away from, and outside of, his frame with big hands. Can absorb a hit and hold onto the ball in traffic.

Weaknesses

Needs to add bulk but has the frame to do so. Does not possess adequate explosion and quickness. Is a speed builder. May take too long to get vertical at the next level. Doesn't have the fluidity to run sharp routes. Not going to shake many tackles in space.

70-84 Eventual Starter 2nd-3rd A quality player who will contribute to the team early on and is expected to develop into a starter. A reliable player who brings value to the position.
50-69 Draftable Player 4th-7th A prospect with the ability to make team as a backup/role player. Needs to be a special teams contributor at applicable positions. Players in the high range of this category might have long-term potential.
20-49 Free Agent UDFA A player with solid measurables, intangibles, college achievements, or a developing skill that warrants an opportunity in an NFL camp. In the right situation, he could earn a place on a 53-man roster, but most likely will be a practice squad player or a camp body.
