Moore cloud flourish with the Silver and Black

Moore certainly has many of the intangible traits that make an NFL receiver, such as the breakaway speed with remarkable separation, quickness, solid route-running, and those notable hands. With that said, he’d fit right in with what the Raiders have.

Let’s not forget, when Josh McDaniels put together his coaching staff, he kept Edgar Bennett as his wide receivers coach. His track record could very well mean that Moore, or any receiver drafted, could end up getting shaped into something special. Hunter Renfrow, Henry Ruggs III, and Nelson Agholor thrived under Bennett.

While Renfrow is sure to build on his stellar 2021 season under McDaniels, Moore would bring some much-needed explosiveness to the Raiders. Derek Carr wants to throw it deep, and he’ll have himself quite a deep threat in Moore, who displayed an ability to track down deep passes his way on a consistent basis in college.

It’ll take some time for him to get used to the pace of an NFL offense, especially one that won’t be option heavy. Nevertheless, Moore’s physical gifts more than warrant an NFL opportunity.
