Dallas Cowboys: Five 2018 NFL Draft options to replace Dez Bryant

No wide receiver has been garnering more buzz in recent weeks than Maryland Terrapins star D.J. Moore. Though not necessarily the No. 1 wide receiver on the board, he’s rising quickly and emerging as a player whom some believe can at least match fellow former Terrapins star Stefon Diggs‘ level of play.

A high level athlete with a strong frame and a work ethic that his coaches have gushed about, Moore could help bring about a culture change in Dallas.

Moore is a projected second-round draft pick, but he’s been rising up boards to the point of being a potential option at No. 19. He’s somewhat undersized at 6’0″, but his 210-pound frame and high-level athleticism more than make up for it.

Moore ranks in the 81st percentile or better in the 40-yard dash (83rd), vertical jump (90th), broad jump (96th), 20-yard shuttle (85th), and 60-yard shuttle (81st).

Moore puts those skills to use as one of the most elusive after-the-catch players in the country. He averaged a combined 9.9 yards after the catch on crossing and screen routes, and was even slightly above average on comeback throws.

Whether he lines up in the slot or outside the numbers, Moore has the tools to become one of the most dynamic playmakers to emerge from this draft class.
