Moore

We haven’t heard much about the 2018 fourth-rounder since he was waived by the Packers in August. A big play/deep threat specialist, Moore would certainly fit into the Seahawks’ offense, but he showed shockingly little during his 1.5 years in Green Bay.

Moore was drafted ahead of both Equanimeous St. Brown and Marquez Valdes-Scantling, but he was quickly passed on the depth chart by both during the trio’s rookie season. Moore struggled badly with drops last summer and carried that over to this year’s camp. He was impressive at Mizzou, but Moore has yet to get his NFL career off the ground. Green Bay is too deep at wideout to keep hoping and praying on Moore. He’ll get another shot.

Moore was drafted ahead of both Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Equanimeous St. Brown a year ago, but the latter two eventually quickly passed Moore on the depth chart. Moore worked with the ones last offseason but drops plagued him, and the fourth-rounder caught just two passes all year on minimal snaps. Demovsky believes Moore’s roster spot is in serious danger. Moore’s dynasty stock is at a complete low point. He needs a big summer.

The No. 133 overall pick ended up catching only two passes all year despite the turmoil in the Packers’ receiver corps. Lower picks Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Equanimeous St. Brown both severely outplayed him, as well as third-year UDFA Jake Kumerow. Moore will begin 2019 on the outside looking in of a 53-man roster spot.

Moore (6’3/207) was a three-year starter for the Tigers, graduating with a 158/2,477/21 career receiving line at 15.7 yards per catch. PFF College credited Moore with 391 of his 2017 receiving yards on 20-plus-yard catches, third most in the SEC. An 85th-percentile SPARQ athlete with 4.49 (Pro Day) speed and a 38-inch vertical, Moore’s pre-draft concerns were rawness and off-field concerns, but he is every bit an NFL-caliber wide receiver on game tape.

Moore has battled a severe case of the drops in practice and has made little-to-no noise this preseason, nabbing just three balls for 27 yards. This comes after Moore opened camp getting reps with the first-team offense. Now, the rookie is bringing up the rear of the depth chart and might be behind fellow rookie Marquez Valdes-Scantling. Wood notes Moore has had zero problems separating from defensive backs; he just hasn’t been able to complete the plays.

Fifth-round OG Cole Madison, seventh-round DT James Looney, and seventh-round LB Kendall Donnerson also signed their rookie deals. The first of three receivers the Packers drafted on Day 3, Moore is the early favorite to take on the No. 3 receiver role following the departure of Jordy Nelson.

The Packers drafted three receivers, including Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Equanimeous St. Brown in the fifth and seventh rounds, respectively, but Moore was the higher pick and is the first of the bunch to see time with Aaron Rodgers’ unit. The Packers are hunting for a No. 3 receiver to step up, and Moore is squarely in the mix along with Geronimo Allison. Obviously, this offense can support many players, so whoever wins the job is instantly fantasy-relevant.
