He registered a 4.44 40 with a 1.62 10-yd split and measured in at 6'1 /8" and 248lbs.

His height is far from ideal but his weight is acceptable and from a situational stand point he could be a monster 3rd down OLB with that speed. At 4.44 he should have the straight line speed to keep up with almost any receiver and with that weight-speed combo could be a nightmare in the pass rush.

So, let's just say he's there in the 3rd round, would you grab him? I'm thinking I would.

Honestly I saw his coverage on NFL network and immediately thought two words....AL DAVIS...

He wont get past the raiders in round 2

Raiders will probably trade up for Wisniewski. He is always trying to recapture that committment to excellence image.

The 248 pounds just blew me away. I honestly thought he was going to weigh in at 235 and run a 4.4. It had been rumored he ran in the 4.2s at a lighter weight earlier in the season. Again, for him to run 4.4 at 248 was amazing to me.

NE already has a similar LB, Gary Guyton ran a 4.47 at the Combine. The biggest difference between the two's numbers, Moch has a 42" vertical to Guyton's 37.5". Moch played DE in college and trained to be explosive off the edge, Guyton was moved around at all three LB slots and has more experience in coverage and reading offenses. I think Moch is a good kid who in an attacking defense wouldn't be too bad off the edge, but stacking and shedding TE & FB, or a pulling OG, isn't going to happen much on Moch's watch. If NE picks up an extra 4th or 5th and he's still there, they may be interested in him as a ST'er who can blitz off the edge. Someone like Indy would probably consider him earlier as Mathis' backstop.

Actually, Moch ran slower than expected. So no, it doesn't change a thing.

Don Kipines

Moch is way too small and short-armed to hold up as a 3-4 OLB against the run. I don't see him as a fit for the Pats. What would you do with him on first and second down?

alphilip77

True, but what if we drafted him as a hybrid player like Dane Fletcher? He could play as pass rusher on passing downs or we could have him drop into coverage like Guyton. If we could utilize him in that aspect, I would absolutely draft this guy with our 3rd from Minnesota.

Can he play?

The workout numbers scream Tampa 2. He seems undersized for a 3-4 system (though so was Tedy Bruschi). How's Moch's strength?

Dontay Moch projected a late 3rd. rd. pick: I have thought about this comparison for quite some time, and feel for a late third round pick it could be a good value and help in the pass rush.
