G-Daddy Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 DE Moats it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABills Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Moats is too small to play DE. He did at JMU and I got to see him play in person a couple times. He did good against D1AA teams, but not sure how it translates in the NFL. Never saw him cover so can't say he has the skills to play OLB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgrid Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Moats will be OLB, not DE. Schobel's potential replmnt, hopefully not 2010, but 2011. here's nfl.com blurb: Moats was a productive two-year starter for the James Madison defense. He is a short, compact defensive end who will have to project to outside linebacker at the next level. Moats is a high-motor defender who brings leadership and toughness to a club. He utilizes strong hands and long arms to control defenders and set the edge. He runs well and flashes range in pursuit but can be inconsistent with angles to leverage the ball. Moats is an instinctive pass rusher who shows a variety of moves and counters to beat less-athletic blockers. He has enough athleticism to be effective in zone coverage but lacks lateral agility and burst in man coverage schemes. Moats was extremely active in his role with the James Madison defense, but transitioning to a stand-up position in the NFL will be a challenge.

LancasterSteve Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 NICE!!! my first correct pick! our D is SOLID! Congrats. Bio from the War Room at the Sporting News; Arthur Moats OLB, James Madison War Room analysis Strengths: Is well-built. Plays with intensity; is always around the ball. Consistently makes big plays, including tackles behind the line of scrimmage. Tight ends have difficulty blocking him one-on-one. Shows good instincts. Plays with natural leverage. Is good getting off blocks and making tackles all over the field. Has the bulk to take a consistent pounding. Weaknesses: Is a 'tweener, a college defensive end who must move to outside linebacker. Must improve agility to be effective in in coverage. Lacks great lateral speed. Tackling technique must improve. Tends to use shoulder tackles, knocking targets down rather than wrapping up. Has limited range against the run. Bottom line: Moats will be a solid small-school pick who could become a good linebacker if he can make the transition quickly. He is disruptive, a good pass rusher who be sound against the run. Coaches must focus on his open-field play. He also could become a rush end. Moats will be a solid mid-round selection and could develop into a starter. Vinnie Iyer analysis The Bills continue to find pieces for their new 3-4 defense. They're hoping Moats, a fine pass rusher, can make two successful transitions, both from a small school to the NFL and from end to outside linebacker. Measurables: DRAFTED! Buffalo Bills Round 6, Pick 9 Overall grade: 5.9 Position rank: 18 Blitz/coverage: 13 Pursuit/tackling: 19 Run/pass recognition: 18 Versus inside run: 20 Versus outside run: 19 ARTHUR MOATS MEASURABLES Height: 6-0 Weight: 246 40-yard dash: 4.67 10-yard dash: 1.62 20-yard shuttle: 4.38 60-yard shuttle: Broad jump: 10-2 225-lb. bench: 24 3-cone drill: 7.23 Vertical jump: 36 Wonderlic: 20-yard dash: 2.68 Adjustment with lateral speed is a big ? so is how he reacts to plays standing up and shedding blocks in space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
