NFLDraftScout.com player comparison: John Abraham. Why he fits the Browns' needs: Moore is a masterful pass rusher and is most likely the most versatile in this draft class to boot, having played full seasons in both systems. With the Browns switching to a 3-4 multi-front defense, they could use an upgrade at the linebacker position, and Moore offers a terrific rush end linebacker in a 3-4 who'd feel at home in multiple looks, should defensive coordinator Ray Horton switch things up during the course of a game. The downside is that Moore's gaining steam in the eyes of many talent evaluators, and the Browns might have to get lucky for him to fall to No. 6 overall. http://www.ohio.com/blogs/cleveland...rget-damontre-moore-texas-a-m-de-olb-1.369389
Imo very solid pass rusher, also good in sideline pursuit to help contain the Russell Wilson's of the world- excellent athlete. Could very well be an OLB candidate as well, iirc inherited the joker role from Von Miller. I'd love to get Moore in the 1st, start him out at situational pass rusher and find a role for him. Maybe have Misi go to ILB and look at Porter in Misi's role- we need more pass rush from that OLB postition, bottom line. I'd love to get Moore's teammate Sean Porter, another dynamic pass rusher and he can be groomed at OLB behind Kevin Burnett, heck of a coverage LB as well, very quick and smooth back pedal/lateral movement. Get those two and I think that you give yourself more of a chance against Brady/Gronk/Hernandez. We have to be able to rush the passer and we have to be able to cover TEs.
I agree about Moore. He looks fine to me. I just seriously doubt he makes it to the 12th pick. If he did though, I'd be fine with his being selected there. We need better LB depth too, so Porter in the late 2nd or early 3rd would be a good choice.
