Anyone find some decent film on him? I only found one video that was of low quality and from 2010.
 
This pick is really a head scratch, based on BB's evaluation about the player, he is going straight to the practice squad.

Another pick I dislike.

He has the athleticism, length, and strength to start out as a situational pass rusher but he does need a good bit of work. Hopefully this pick coming later on in the draft is a sign of how Buchanan is progressing because this team can really use a rotation of pass rushers.
 
If he shows more than Bequette then he makes the roster.

Yep. Buchanan, Bequette, Moore & Smith are all going for 2 spots IMO.

Some real camp battles to watch out for this year.

Thank you for answering the OPs question!

Very informative and helpful post would definitely read again!

I'm guessing Moore to the PS, certainly in light of BB's comments how about how much work he has in front of him. And Bequette being history obviously. So, in the end, I doubt that will be much of a camp battle at all.
 
Probably red shirt or IR him, a developmental player who may be an impact player.

Buchanan and Smith to the 53, Moore to PS, Bequette to free agency.
 
Finding highlight on Moore is turning out to be more elusive than finding information on Ernie Adams' role with the Patriots.

There is this though:

Zach Moore's dream weekend included graduation, call from Patriots | The Blitz with Jeff Howe and Karen Guregian | Boston Herald

Sixth-rounder Zach Moore probably just had the best weekend of his life, as the culmination of so much work paid off in two key areas.

The defensive end graduated from Concordia with a criminal justice degree Friday and was drafted Saturday by the Patriots. Considering Moore's five-year trek toward graduation encountered some hiccups, and that he was the first Concordia product ever taken in the draft, there's a lot that went into those achievements.

That's why Moore doesn't believe one accomplishment is anymore important than the other.

"Everything is 100 percent important," Moore said.

Moore racked up 33 sacks during his Division 2 career, so he has been productive at one level of competition. Now the challenge is making the transition to the NFL.

"I’m going to work on whatever (Bill Belichick) wants me to work on," Moore said. "That has yet to be determined. When that’s determined, I’ll work on that.

"I enjoy every aspect of football, whether it be offense, defense or special teams. I’m going to do whatever is asked of me. If it’s to long snap, if it’s to punt, I’ll do just that."



There is also this 4:23 audio from the team's website today:

Probably red shirt or IR him, a developmental player who may be an impact player.

It's early in the year, but what the heck, I'll start now!

The rookie "redshirt" IR year is a myth. Try to come up with any actual examples of intriguing rookies on the bubble who started the season on IR despite no obvious major injury, and who returned to make contributions in season 2.
 
He reminds me of a 6th or 7th round pick from some Missouri school a few years ago. Looked promising but got cut eventually.
 
Moore looks like a player who will end up on the Practice Squad, especially if Armstead ends up as primarily a DE. He is likely to be better than Bequette, but neither seems likely to make the 53. I think that a free agent is more likely to make the team.
 
Moore's a solid developmental prospect, IMO. Ideal size, good burst, reportedly a high-character guy with a great work ethic. Clips are definitely limited, and regardless it's hard to know what to make of watching a DL at that level. ("Oh wow, he totally overpowered the 250-lb. guard from Winona State!") From his Combine workout I see the makings of a classic 4-3 DE. Nifty feet for a big guy, very good explosion, mediocre change of direction ability (as expected at 6'6" 270), and absolutely terrible hands for the interception. No surprise he was moved from receiver!

Moore's Achilles' heel is academics. He was recruited by major programs but couldn't qualify academically, and struggled at his DII school, too. It seems likely that his ability to learn an NFL defense will be the key to his future.

I believe that you're referring to Markell Carter. And that is who I immediately thought of too.

I like taking chances on the sixth round pass rushers. If one of these guys pans out it would be huge. It beats taking someone that is a special teamer (even if I'm sure statistically it is more likely the special teamer makes the team).
 


Here you are. It's not as good as you'd hope, but it's something.

He's usually on the right side of the defense, with the hands on the dirt. Did not see that amazing first step, used his superior strenght and speedness to beat the OL(which may not be enough in the NFL). Looks promising, but need refinament

EDIT: Welp, that's the film you mentioned. I feel stupíd now
