After starting 1-5, Missouri turned around their season, rattling off 6 straight wins in route to a bowl game. Their turn around was a direct result of an explosive passing game with rocket armed quarterback Drew Lock and an explosive group of weapons. J’Mon Moore was the best of those weapons thanks to his physical gifts, but despite his athleticism and production, Moore is a developmental prospect. Here’s why:

Measurables: 6’2-5/8’’, 207 lbs, 32-7/8’’ arms, 9-3/8’’ hands

Year (Age): Five Year Senior (22)

Drop Rate: 7.2%

Combine: 

40-yard Dash: 4.6 seconds

Vertical Jump: 38 inches

Broad Jump: 120 inches

3-cone Drill: 6.56 seconds

20-yard Shuttle: 4.04 seconds

Bench Press: 21 reps

Tape Evaluation:

Strengths: J’Mon Moore has plenty of physical tools to be a starting wide receiver. On film, he appears to be quite fast and has the speed to get a few steps ahead of corners. His combine testing was quite impressive, testing quite well in the agility and explosiveness drills. More a player who is almost 6’3’’, his results were very impressive. On tape, he flashes big playmaking ability. He is good at picking up yards after the catch thanks to his agility and strength. He also shows good if inconsistent route running, again thanks to his quickness.

Weaknesses: J’mon Moore is a total project. He comes from a dirt simple Missouri offense where he ran three main routes (slant, go, curl) and was constantly schemed opened. When he is open, Moore struggles to haul in passes, especially contested ones. He timed poorly in the 40-yard dash, and that combined with lackluster route running effort in many reps means he struggles to create any sort of meaningful separation. For how strong Moore is, he is also a bad blocker, displaying little effort.

Pro Comparison: Ricardo Louis

Ricardo Louis is a great athlete and quality depth receiver for the Browns, but he is still too unrefined for a starting role. He struggles with route running and drops, and hasn’t progressed much under Cleveland’s coaching. Moore might be able to breakout in a few years, but his current skill set means he will have to stay on bench and refine his game like Louis has.

Teams that Fit: J’Mon Moore fits any team as a developmental wide receiver.

Where he should go: 6^th or 7^th Round

Where he (probably) will go: 5^th or 6^th Round

Conclusion:

Moore is a great athlete who will need a ton of coaching in order to see the field.  He has good value as a late round developmental pick.
