Can he play man-press?
He's not going to be still coming off the ball.. He's going to be in motion.. Chris crossing all over the field. And if anyone's worried about his size.. keep in mind he's a couple inches shorter than that kid from Alabama, but about 15 lb heavier... He's stout.

Overview

Slightly undersized slot receiver who makes up for it with above-average strength and competitive fire that shows up throughout the tape. He can beat one-on-one coverage with speed but lacks the size and length to legitimately challenge NFL cornerbacks outside. He's difficult to press, elusive out of route breaks underneath and his ability after the catch could make him a priority target when it's time to move the sticks on third down. He lacks desired game experience on paper, but he's the same player week in and week out and teams know exactly what they will get with him. His football character and acumen are big pluses to go with his talent. Moore should become a good starting slot target with punt return potential.

Strengths
  • Gets off the snap in a hurry.
  • Races to top speed and maintains it through the route.
  • Keeps route intentions on private mode.
  • Talented in manipulating coverage out of position.
  • Sudden with smooth acceleration into speed cuts.
  • Above-average play strength for his size.
  • Built for option routes.
  • Operates with clear understanding of route leverage.
  • Plays like running back with ball in his hands.
  • Instinctive reading field and creating yards after contact.
  • Posted 12 catches for 170 yards and two TDs against Ohio State in 2018.
  • Team guy who is appreciative of hard workers.
  • Capable of handling return duties coming into the league.
Weaknesses
  • Lacks desired game experience.
  • Stronger cornerbacks can slow him at top of the route.
  • Short arms and needs throws put on top of him.
  • Focus drops have been an issue in the past at times.
  • Needs to take better angles working back to the ball in traffic.
  • Average in contested catch matchups.
  • Decelerates when turning head to find ball downfield.

Once Samuel Jr was gone I was hoping for a trade down but I like this pick. It gives K1 another weapon and hopefully means the end of Isabust in Arizona.
