Round 5
Lions take WR Moore:
Strengths: Is fluid getting in and out of cuts and runs adequate short-to-intermediate routes. Snatches the ball out of the air and catches passes in stride. Is fluid turning upfield after the catch and makes crisp first moves. Tough and fights for yards after contact. Reads blocks well, quick to turn the corner and is a shifty open field runner that can make defenders miss. Takes sound angles to assignments and can get into position as a blocker. Gets adequate hand placement, moves feet and flashes the ability to sustain blocks. Has experience lining up in the backfield and is versatile. Has experience retuning punts and has flashed big-play ability in that role.
Weaknesses: Undersized and is going to get pushed around by bigger corners. Doesn't use hands well and struggles to get a clean release working against press coverage. Lacks ideal explosiveness and is going to have a harder time separating from man coverage at the NFL level. Doesn't show a second gear when tracking the ball downfield and isn't fast enough to run by most NFL corners. Lacks breakaway speed and isn't going to outrun NFL defenses when gets a seam. Though can locate soft spots when sees zone coverage sits in areas for too long making it easier for the defense to recover and needs to do a better job of adjusting when the protection starts to break down. Lets the ball get too far away from frame when running in space and is vulnerable to getting the ball knocked loose from behind. Doesn't have great lower body strength and is far effective running outside than is running between the tackles. Appears hesitant when cracking down on linebackers and doesn't play with enough of a mean streak. Foot injury limited him to five games in 2004 and durability is a concern.
Overall: Moore redshirted his first year at Wake Forest (2003). In his first two active seasons (2004-'05), Moore appeared in 12 games (one start) and had nine receptions for 133 yards (14.8 average) and a touchdown, plus two rushing attempts for six yards. In 2006, he began the season at wide receiver but moved to running back when injuries forced the hand of the coaching staff. Moore played 14 games (12 starts) as a junior, finishing the year with 32 receptions for 314 yards (9.8 average) and 105 carries for 507 yards (4.8 average) and two touchdowns. Playing in all 13 games as a senior, he showed more versatility than ever: 98 receptions for 1,011 yards (10.3 average) and five touchdowns; 44 carries for 369 yards (7.2 average) and three TDs; 34 punt returns for 355 yards (10.4 average) and a score; and 10 kickoff returns for 172 yards. In 2004, Moore was hampered much of the season by a foot injury. Moore doesn't have prototypical size, explosiveness or speed but he can do a lot for a football team. He has the athletic ability to develop into an effective sub-package slot receiver, he can serve as a team's third down back and he can return punts. That versatility should make him a seventh round pick.
