zoogs Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Yes, Moore was drafted as an OLB prospect. 49ers fans are excited about him. I also heard the Patriots were targeting Bradley in the 4th and were let down when the Eagles picked him up two spots ahead. Quote Link to comment
cmb23 Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Moore (6-4, 270)... If he doesn't drop weight that is one HUGE guy coming from the outside.....however I assume he'll have to shed a few pounds and get a little quicker. Quote Link to comment

During the combine, they worked out the DE's that they would like to try out for 3-4 linebackers and Jay Moore looked really good as a 3-4 backer. I thought he looked as good or better than Anthony Spencer(1st round pick for the Cowboys). Just a fan's observation, but he had one of the best workouts for the 3-4 guys. Quote Link to comment
Ericinho Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Good for him. I just hope there aren't any issues signing Carriker. I hate 1st round hold out guys, that's so irritating. Carriker doesn't seem like someone who would get an agent that would do such a thing. Quote Link to comment

Carriker doesn't seem like someone who would get an agent that would do such a thing. I doubt it too. On the NFL Network, they had a Rams Minicamp hour on and they talked about how much the Rams love him. Showed him going through drills and stuff and they talked about how huge he is. He seemed real excited to be there and I doubt he will be a hold out guy. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Good for Moore and I also watched the NFL network mini camp thing and watch Adam working out with the team a little bit. I doubt he'll cause them any trouble. Quote Link to comment

I heard somewhere that the 49ers want him between 260-265 lbs. Which shouldn't be too big of a problem for him. Quote Link to comment
