NFL Player Comparison | D.J. Moore
2020 Dynasty Rookie Draft Projection | Currently later third but will rise (assume 12-team league)
Bottom Line
His physicality and run after the catch immediately pop off the tape. He drew rave reviews with his Senior Bowl performance. His size and speed will lead to comps of players like Darnell Mooney but casting him solely as a deep threat is underselling how he can impact the team. His return game ability gives him a road to early playing time and allows him to grow in an offensive role. He has grown in buzz within scouting circles but his low profile and concerns on age can present an opportunity for a tremendous draft value.
