Weaknesses:
Moore has shown limitations as a route runner.   He will need to improve both at blocking, and at breaking tackles.  He could also improve versatility as a receiving threat.
Though he has good physical abilities and size, he remains a largely raw prospect for the next level.  He will need time to develop before he  becomes a legitimate starting option.
Projection:
Moore was a difference maker at Cincinnati and has the potential to translate this to the NFL. Â He has the height and general build of an NFL receiver.
Moore is quick and reliably gains separation on defenders. Â He possesses good hands, but will need to improve his route running to succeed at the next level.
A team could take a chance on Moore as a project, as he has the physical ability to develop into a deep treat receiver.
