That and Valentine is more of a NT than Moore will ever be.

Yeah, this pretty much nails it. Agree with all the 2014 position groupings as well.

I see him behind Chick and Kamalu right off the bat at WDE. He's a pretty big guy already.

That was an excellent post, but you dont have some concerns about Moore at NT? I feel he is slightly to small to count on regularly as a true NT.
In our scheme I think grace likely is an ILB in our 3-4 looks. The fact of the matter is Grace isn't a great fit for the 3-4. He is best suited as a WILL in the 4-3 (similar to Perryman and spence). But he is talented enough to overcome "fit" IMO. With that said, I believe in the multiple look the 4-3 WILL is essentially the inside backer along with the MIKE.

He's about the same size as Josh Chapman who was a great NT for Bama, and Moore still has 10 months to get bigger before he'll be needed to contribute. If we can add Cory Johnson or Michael Wyche to what is already at the position I'd feel pretty comfortable. Honestly a bit more worried about ILB if Perryman does leave.
Why would you do that when you already have Pierre/Hamilton there? Chick/Kamalu is a solid rotation as well.

True, which is why he was such a big contributor since his freshman year at Bama. I don't think Moore will be the same level of player as Chapman, but someone his size can play the position well given he fits other requirements. Strength isn't really an issue for Moore either, his squat number was one of the highest on the team.

Not all 300 pounders are built the same. And yes, squat is good, but can he play with leverage? The squat is useless if the kid can't play with leverage.

Unless you're a special one, DTs take a couple years to develop. Probably the hardest position (one of) where the strength level is night and day versus HS.
What I did see of the kid was a kid who got pushed around a lot last year. I didn't put too much stock into it since he was a freshman. Unfortuantely, he won't be able to RS this year.
