2018 NFL Draft: Ranking the top five wide receivers

There are players with higher ceilings, but D.J. Moore is the wide receiver whom I’m most confident will be successful in the NFL. He’s an explosive athlete with a powerful work ethic and the character traits that should make him an easily coachable player at the next level.

Though often compared to fellow former Maryland Terrapins star Stefon Diggs, Moore may have an even higher ceiling and basement than Diggs.

Moore is built well at 6’0″ and a solid 210 pounds. He combines those quality measurements with elite athleticism, as evidenced by his rankings in the 81st percentile or better in the 40-yard dash, vertical jump, broad jump, 20-yard shuttle, and 60-yard shuttle.

That elite combination of speed, agility, and leaping ability has enabled Moore to become one of the best big-play receivers in the 2018 NFL Draft.

On the field, Moore is a solid route runner who isn’t afraid to make plays on the ball in traffic. He can line up in the slot or outside the numbers, makes quite the mark in the red zone, and has a massive catch radius compared to his height.

Coupled with his value and production in the return game, Moore is oe of the best wide receiver prospects in the 2018 NFL Draft.
