DJ Moore WR NFL Draft

OVERALL

Moore enjoyed a breakout 2017 season and became a favorite receiver among our crew. He's short but stocky and has very good agility to break away pre- and post-catch. He does need some work as a route-runner on timing and spacing, but Moore could step right in to a WR2 or slot role as a rookie.

GRADE: 6.75 (Round 2)

PRO PLAYER COMPARISON: Zay Jones, Buffalo Bills
