Grade the pick: Round 4 Devin Moore

[darthseinfeld]

How would you grade this pick

 

[Carson]

I went B+.

He has intangibles and solid measurements to be a geeeg boundary corner. No penalties at all last season.

We are blinded because we a wanted Muhammad

 

[NDGAEDE]

Not a fan. Injured in college usually means they'll be injured in the pros.

 

[Aven8]

He was the only questionable pick I had but only because of injuries. We’ve had plenty of corner injuries around here

 

[atlantacowboy]

He's an ideal zone guy which is the basis of this defense Parker is implementing.

at least his were upper body injuries and not leg injuries

 

[reddyuta]

I dont like drafting guys who are always injured,history shows they will continue getting injured in the pros too.

His last year in college went uninjured played the schedule . He’s a bigger corner then Muhammad I think that’s why CP wanted him

technically true but he did have a groin surgery after the season.

 

[J-man]

When healthy he's a solid CB. He has potential to be a starter. He is good depth at the very least.

 

[KDM256]

Went C+.. Film doesn't "wow you" but certainly doesn't have the "what are we doing here" in regards to the selection. Depth guy who can potentially be a starter once settled in the league.

I like him more than the Corey Ballentine pickup we made in the offseason.

This is my fear as well. Physically very talented. He's probably going to impress when he does play, but when and how often will he be able to stay on the field?

 

[ScotsCowboy]

Good pick. With the serious upside and potential, we could afford to take the risk on his injury history at that stage of the draft.
Quality tackler, and good in the run game, which is a welcome change compared to some of our recent CBs.
I also like that he’s a bigger CB, after we signed some undersized guys in FA (which I wasn’t against; was actually good to have the variety, given McClay’s obsession with height at the position).

However, with Muhammad still left on the board, I can’t grade this higher than a B.

 

[75boyz]

I mean I understood it when Quinn took Nahshon Wright cuz he wanted another tall rangy corner like Richard Sherman but Wright underperformed under Quinn and didn't blossom until later going to Chicago.

I'm not sure how Parker sees anything past those same Sherman/Wright height measurables (6' 3") cuz Moore was hurt all the time. I'm too tainted from a history of the Cowboys taking too much college injury risk to give it anything better than a C.

 

[RonWashington]

Caelon Carson came in for a lot wow’s should have been higher Pick etc then couldn’t stay healthy or impress with coverage ironically Moore might be his roster replacement

 

[Croomraider]

He looks ok but it will always come back to "we passed on Muhammed for him and then he went a few picks later to the Bears."
Only time will tell.
I get we have a new coach and there's a new scheme so again I'll wait to pass judgment, however, letting your coaches draft
guys is questionable, This was a Parker pick and when asked about it he said... "That one back pedal, closing speed interception was special!"
LOL
He really watched only one highlight and was like, that's the guy! I guess that means any of us in the forum could work for the Cowboys as
scouts as its just chaos on draft day!

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

He was the only questionable pick I had but only because of injuries. We’ve had plenty of corner injuries around here

For me, out of the three 4th rounders, he’s the guy I have the least questions about.

Also, we took Kelvin Joseph over Asante Samuel based on size and potential just like this instance where we took Moore over Muhammad based on fit, size, and potential. We will see if we go 0/2

 

[big dog cowboy]

He looks ok but it will always come back to "we passed on Muhammed for him and then he went a few picks later to the Bears."

That simply means CP got who he wanted.

I would much prefer that who the fans like.
