Moses is a pass rush terror – 11.5 sacks last year with 9 more tackles for loss. He has great explosion off the edge to go with incredible athleticism. He’s not the biggest guy in the world, but he can hold his own in the run game; his real strength however, is causing disruption in the backfield. Moses is a rock solid tackler, team leader, and has scary good potential. He promises this year to really ratchet up the intensity on every play.
NEGATIVES
Oh drat, you probably think Moses is a “tweener” – well, no he isn't. He's a 3-4 rush OLB. Can we stop with the "tweener" stuff? He's a little long and could put on 8 or 10 pounds without sacrificing speed and really help himself in run support, where he’s had a tendency to get overwhelmed by bigger, stronger players. It will be interesting to see if he can be an every down player at this point, or will he remain a situational rusher only.
FINAL WORD
In a draft class with several very good "tweener" type DE/LB hybrids, Moses may be the best. He's got a frame that can hold more weight, with an explosive first step off the edge. He's a Kamerion Wimbley/Demarcus Ware type, and assuming he builds on last season, he'll be drafted in a position similar to them as well.
