    Draft a QB and get him weapons, what a foreign concept

    Name: Elijah Moore

    Position: Wide receiver

    School: Ole Miss (Junior)

    Opening day age: 21

    2020 stats: 8 games (8 starts); 101 targets, 86 catches, 1,193 receiving yards, 8 receiving touchdowns

    Size: 5094, 178 lbs, 71 3/4 wingspan, 30 1/8 arm, 9 3/8 hand

    Workout numbers: 4.35 40-yard dash, 36 vertical, 10’1” broad jump, 4.00 short shuttle, 6.67 3-cone drill, 17 bench press


    Strengths: Moore has some intriguing speed to work with, running the 40-yard dash in 4.35 seconds and the 3-cone drill in 6.67 seconds at his Pro Day. He has some good explosion and agility and can execute cuts without losing too much speed in the process — making him a dangerous player on double-moves or concepts designed to get the ball out fast. In general, Moore is a very advanced route runner and able to quickly and precisely get into his patterns.

    Moore also possesses a reliable set of hands — he dropped just two passes on 101 targets in 2020 — and has proven himself capable of catching the football away from the body and gaining yards after the catch. He does not shy away from contact while his compact build and agility allow him to pile up extra yardage on screen plays or designed runs. While primarily used in the slot, his speed also makes him a candidate to see snaps in a Z-receiver role and as a deep-field target on the perimeter.

    Weaknesses: While Moore runs some good-looking routes, his route tree in general was rather limited in college as part of Ole Miss’ scheme: while he performed them well he was primarily employed on vertical concepts, slant routes and schemed plays that meant to get him open down the field. Moore will have to learn how to get open by himself, especially when faced with on-man press coverage at the line of scrimmage — something he rarely saw over the last three seasons.

    Moore is also on the smaller side for wide receivers and might lack the necessary length to come away with the ball in contested situations down the field. His combination of size and strength also could be an issue in the running game, with his blocking a work in progress.


    Does he have positional versatility? Moore is a weapon with the ball in his hands, and should be used in a variety of ways — from his slot role, to getting the ball on jet sweeps, end-arounds or reverses, to possibly lining up in the backfield. As a pure wide receiver, however, he is somewhat limited entering the NFL: he aligned in the slot on almost 90 percent of his snaps in three years at Ole Miss, while his size and length could be an issue in another role at the next level.

    What is his special teams value? While his opportunities decreased as his role on offense grew, Moore does bring experience as both a punt and a kickoff returner to the table. In total, he ran back 27 punts for 133 yards in college as well as 12 kickoffs for 222 yards. His speed could make him a dangerous weapon in the return game if a team chooses to use him that way.

    Can the we need weapons crowd calm down now? We have a nice complementary receiver group now. Tight ends and RBs might not be great but with our needs we will live.

    This is very different to what we've been used to. So excited for our prospects. We are battering this draft.

    Gil Brandt is a monster when it comes to picking prospects. He is so much better than the rest of the scouts.

    Supporting a young QB well. Super excited about a young quick and dynamic playmaker for Wilson.

    This should help free up Mims and Davis too.

    When has our offense looked this energetic?

    Stoked, looking forward to seeing him ball.

    He had Vera Tucker as his number 6 overall player in the draft.
