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.
That is usually the case, But he graduated, with a degree in criminal justice. more than can be said for lots of these so-called student-athletes.
