Credit: Icon SMI Missouri S William Moore Scouting Report Height: 6-1, Weight: 230
Strengths: Tall with ideal NFL frame and long arms...strong player who carries a lot of bulk for a safety...willing in run support...playmaker who seems to be always around the ball...good ball skills...good sideline to sideline range...team leader...very productive college player... Weaknesses: Awareness seems to be an issue...long speed is not ideal for a safety...needs to improve his tackling technique - more of a drag down tackler...really stiff through the hips and will struggle greatly covering the quickest WRs...LB/S tweener?...big durability concerns with several different types of injuries during his college career... Overall: William Moore jumped into the national scouting radar with a huge 8 pick and 117 tackle season in 2007 as a junior and entered 2008 as one of the top safety prospects in the draft. With the decision of Taylor Mays to return to school, Moore looked like the easy #1 safety prospect. However, after viewing his tape, there are big concerns. Moore is going to be a liability against the pass and isn't the dominate tackler or hitter in the run game you would prefer. He is probably going to be drafted higher than he should in the draft and really needs to find a scheme that can use his overall athleticism and willingness versus the run.
