I do believe I caught him at the Senior bowl workouts and he was indeed stiff,slow,and had poor hands from the left side.

He moved to the right side and dominated the one on one drills.As with any offensive lineman being able to only play one position is a knock against you.

He’s a gamble pick.I see him slipping to the middle to a early second round.

I frequent a Houston Texans blog as well not sure if I can list the url and they have a mock draft of every mock draft to calculate the percentages of certain picks and it would be a surprise if Moore slid this far back.

Safety is a legitimate concern for our defense but our d-line and linebackers are a greater concern. This mocking situation will open up a spot for GT’s Michael Johnson to give us the pass rush opposite Abraham that we are now lacking. I believe Moore will slip to the 2nd Round and we can pick him up there. There is a big learning curve for Safeties in the NFL and Moore will have his hands full!

My preference is to build outward from the lines, and based on that principle I might consider taking Loadholt over Moore. At the same time, living in Oklahoma gives me some insight into Loadholt, who I admit is an intriguing possibility.

The upside on Loadholt is that he is HUGE. The downside is that he is definitely a one-spot wonder, which would not fit well within the Falcon’s coaching staff’s emphasis on versatiltiy. Also, the Sooner’s offense was heavily pass-oriented, and Bradford took a disproportionate number of snaps from the shotgun. I suspect that Loadholt and the other Sooner lineman are better pass protectors than drive blockers, so if you’re looking for a well-rounded, fundamentally sound technician — which is what I would be looking for in investing a first round pick on a OL — Loadholt might not be the guy I’d have my eye on. If he slips into our range of the 2nd round, he would probably be worth it there. If Michael Oher or one of the Smiths (Andre or Jason) falls to us, that would be where I would go, unless Raji or Jerry is still on the board. Forlorn hopes, I know, but the large number of junior skill position players declaring may be tempting to the Lions, Rams, Chiefs, et al, which may push some big guys out way.

As for Moore, I’m just not seeing the value at 24. Yes, he’s very physical — frankly, I’m seeing a linebacker, not a safety. In that sense, he strikes me as a tweener (a la Ken Swilling, who was, as I recall, an enormous bust as a pro), which is not a good quality in a first rounder (unless said tweener was a DL/LB with a preternatural ability to sack the quarterback). For the record, Moore doesn’t blitz well, played on a Big 12 defense that got lit up repetedly, and has had injury issues. Consequently, I would probably be unhappy with Moore as a 1st round pick. Frankly, I don’t see a SS/FS out there that’s worth a 1st or even a 2nd round pick. I would say — if the consensus is that we MUST upgrade at safety — that we prioritize that position in free agency, and focus in the first three rounds on offensive and defensive linemen and linebackers, where I think the depth of this draft rests.

I’m still thinking we need a linebacker to replace Brooking. I don’t think Malloy lost too much this year, especially against the run. If our other defensive backs continue to improve they will make up for his lack of coverage. To me the glaring weakness, especially the last several games was linebacker.

I’m from the school of thought that the Offense and Defense are built on the line and you move outward from there.

With that being said….A great D-Line can make a Safety look like a superstar….a poor D-Line can expose him/make it appear as he has a lack of talent.

I don’t think reasonably without addressing our D-line issues we can go Safety first.

we should draft a linebacker like ray outta usc or a tackle outta boston if he falls that far for obvious reasons or a wr like percy harvin to take some pressure off white cause lets face it jenkins isnt exactly top notch receiver in this league and with percy’s speed, defenses would be scared to give him man coverage white double teaming white every play and go for taylor mays next season drafting up or w.e
