Trade Target: Denarius Moore?


UNCrules2187

Recommended Posts

This is something I've been talking about before I even heard about him being available, simply because of some rumors floating around about him not being a fit with their scheme.

 

This would be a fantastic move and one that makes a ton of sense.  Moore is a skilled player who has shown flashes with less than stellar QBs throwing him the ball. In addition to that, he's still on a rookie contract and even if we had to sign him to an extension, he likely wouldn't break the bank.

 

I'd see if I could get him for the 5th or 6th, but in the end, a 4th would be a fair price.

Give them a 5th, and get it done.

I am just glad to hear that G-man is even considering a trade for Moore because it just makes too much sense.

There was probably a time during this off-season that I may have jumped at a 4th, but the draft is so deep that I can see why G-man would balk at a 4th.

That being said, as has been mentioned earlier in this thread, we have Alexander, Addison and Horton as well. Perhaps some type of trade including one of them should be considered in a trade for Moore.

Moore can't catch. End of thread.

 

His catching ability has improved year over year, last year catching 53% of his attempts (not a great number, but it continues his improvement over the first two years)  It's worth noting that he had Pryor, Mcgloin, etc. throwing him the ball, and a number of his routes were deep balls which have a lower catch rate.

 

He's had Carson Palmer (who was terrible with the Raiders), Terrell Pryor, Matt Flynn, Matt Mcgloin, and Jason Campbell throwing him the ball over the past three years.  None of which are known for throwing an accurate deep ball.

 

He had the same drop percentage at Brandon Lafell last year, but the important piece is that Moore is improving year over year, while Lafell wasn't.  Lafell also had the superior QB.

Granted, he may not have the best hands in the world, but that's something that can be worked on. He is a legitimate play-maker nevertheless. Furthermore, his drop rate in 2013 wasn't any worse than what we let go. This video demonstrates that he can catch.

    • Winning culture trumps ALL.    Here’s my way to long take:  Last season this team started out breaking the sports books and being the lead pipe lock of the week. They finished by being a tough out for both SB teams.  I don’t think they’ll pick up right where they left off, but for the first time in years they’re on the legitimate upswing. Honest to God NFL talent has been infused.  Offense is already going to be good for 2-3 more 3rd down conversions (I don’t think anyone will argue that) a game over last year so I’ll go (very optimistically) 5-6 more points better than last year’s team. ADDED: A legit backup RB and a money WR who catches everything, along with 2 promising rooks. No significant losses (sorry Miles). KEYS: Can Dave bob and weave play calling if things aren’t working? Does protection continue to hold for Bryce. Did this team pick up dudes who know how to find the end zone or will the struggle of 3rd and goal continue.  Defense. If they can force even 2 (hopefully 3) more stops a game on third down (not asking a lot, hopefully more), that’s good for -4 (optimistic) points for opposing teams.  ADDED: legit run stuffers. Legit (appearing) edge guys. LOST: Clowney. Question: With legit 3-4 talent can Evero finally show what we have been VERY patiently waiting on? To me, EVERYTHING on defense hinges on Evero. Everything. Every position group was upgraded (still not good enough, but certainly improved).  Losing Brown early and Luvu… completely and utterly devastated the run defense. Luvu put up one of the best seasons at LB this team has ever seen. His under appreciation by some fans was criminal. He alone was our 3 down stop machine. Brown was pretty much it up front. Those 2 held RBs in check long enough for safety help to arrive.  Coaching: Halftime adjustments and no prevent defense. In a nutshell, that’s pretty much it. No cutesy offense to show off WRs/Bryce when it’s not working. Use your sledgehammers, Dave.  There is finally veteran leadership and legit NFL talent. It’s going in the right direction (I couldn’t have been more wrong last offseason) to build a winning culture, but teams have to learn how to win, especially the games where nothing is going right (this team has NEVER been able to do that). They will still lose more close games than they win, and that alone is where it all hinges.     
    • With his current level of play I'm quite content to not activate his 5th year option and let him walk away for free after year 4. 
    • Self described anti-Bryce dude wants us to fail to take a major step forward     Yeah that lines up.
