While Moore will be a 24-year-old rookie, he has intriguing upside moving forward. While he's raw, there's a chance he can contribute from day one. Moore will put pressure on Jake Bequette and Will Smith for a roster spot in training camp. He might require some patience, but Moore could pay dividends down the line.
