Morgan Moses LT Virginia

Just getting familiar with him, early impressions are very positive. Huge player at 6-6, 330 lbs. but has quick feet and some wheels to go with it. Stout at the line, good hand punch. Definitely gets a push- more in line with Auburn's Greg Robinson and so much better than the Dallas Thomas tape that I've been watching recently. And to be clear, I do like Robinson better and for Moses' sake I certainly hope that he's more physical and a better player than Thomas.

This guy can move the pile and he's pretty quick at that size, nimble feet. I like his balance and sense of athleticism, something that I found lacking in Thomas and especially Jonathan Martin, who seemed off balance to me far too often to really be effective. I see him as a LT in the NFL, and certainly as a RT as a fall back. Still need to see more, but at this point I would love to get him in the second round but I'm not sure that he'll fall that far to us, my initial impression is that he's a bit underrated right now. The best I've seen is Greg Robinson- I'd be all over him in the first round, but I doubt that we'll get a crack at him. He's just too good.

Here's a clip, Moses shows some good movement skills at :29, taking his man out wide and some good power on back to back plays at 2:32-2:44. This guy can play:

I like the clips that I've seen on this site of Billy Turner and Wesley Johnson, but from what I've seen I'd draft Moses before either one of them. Turner has some compelling athleticism, same for Johnson, but Moses looks like a better combo of power and athleticism to me. I need to watch more of Turner, and I'd especially like to see him against better competition- he'll make or lose a lot of money in the bowl games and combine imo, as one would expect from a talented smaller school prospect.

I like Santreal Henderson quite a bit, but all things considered I'd draft Moses over him as well.
