I think he could be good for our offense. Some say he's a system college QB only and is nothing more than that, I disagree. Your thoughts?

He'll probably end being a 5th or 6th round pick when he does declare. Slow, undersized, nice arm and experience in a west coast system but theres a lot of prospects like that every year.

NFL Draft Scout has him ranked as the 13th best QB prospect in the 2012 draft and ESPN doesn't even have a grade for him, which is telling because they've graded other junior prospects that may or may not declare. Personally he might end up being the next Colt Brennan. Shanahan is more likely to take a run at Mallet or Locker next year should they fall to us.

Troy Smith, Chris Weinke, Ken Dorsey, Colt Brenan, and Jason White all have been through similar situations as Moore. Tebow is probably the only great college QB in recent memory to break away from his late round grade and crack the first round. Moore won't be as lucky.
