I see-- all 230 pound safeties have the exact same skillset...
Even if that were true (it's completely ridiculous), your attempt to compare Moore to Roy would be asinine; though William projects to SS in the pros, he played FS in college for 32 games... Roy could never have hoped to play FS...
Here are some other things that NFL Draft Scout has to say about him, tell me that sounds like Roy:
Yeah, when folks talk about Roy, they always talke about what a "true centerfielder in coverage he is", and the word "ballhawk" comes up a lot...
FWIW, Moore weighs 221 pounds, not 230, and ran the 40 under 4.5 seconds at his Pro Day workout, which of course is considerably faster than Roy...
The ONLY thing keepig Moore from being a first round pick, perhaps even a top 10 pick, is the series of injuries that limited him last season... it turns out that he played that brilliant 2007 season with a torn labrum, which he had offseason surgery on... then he sprained his foot in the season opener, later in the season he damaged some rib cartilage against Oklahoma... as a result, he ended up missing two games, and parts of two others...
Even then, he managed to rack up 86 tackles... to further demonstrate how thoroughly ridiculous your comparison is, compare their workout numbers at the combine:
40 yard dash-- Moore 4.49 seconds, Roy 4.53...
20 yard split-- Moore 2.60 seconds, Roy 2.67...
10 yard split-- Moore 1.48 seconds, Roy 1.62 seconds... that's a BIG difference, demonstrating quite clearly Moore's superior QUICKNESS...
Bench press-- Moore 16 reps, Roy 13 reps...
Vertical jump-- Moore 37", Roy 30.5"... again, Moore is considerably more athletic than Roy was...
Broad jump-- Mooore 10'3", Roy 9'7"... again, a BIG difference...
Conclusion-- Roy can only dream of being athletic as William Moore is...
Conclusion 2-- only a fool would try to compare William Moore to Roy Williams, they are two very different players...
Had Moore come out last year, a lot of scouts were saying he would have been a top 10 pick... had he had a healthy 2008, and put up numbers similar to what he did in 07, he'd be a top 10 pick in this year's draft... so basically, my view is that you could be getting a top 10 talent with pick 51 if Moore slides that far... and you'd have the type of player the Boys are looking for at safety these days, one who could swing between free safety and strong safety...
I used to think that you knew something about football, Rampage...
