So I decided to examine him more closely than I had before.

I watched cutups of five different games of his.  While not coaches tape, it suffices for these purposes.

To be honest, I don't understand the hype over him.

When I watched him, he wasn't a guy that gained a lot of vertical separation on his deep routes.  The separation he did get deep was mostly on stop and go type moves.

He does have good change of direction and a thick build, and seems adept at finding holes in underneath coverage.  But does he resemble a dominant WR that could get that S out of the box?  Not at all.

He suffered from some bad QB play.  The separation he did get vertically was often wasted by inaccurate passes.

But right now, I would be strongly opposed to the Jaguars taking DJ Moore at #29.

He's my #1 receiver but I do understand a lot of this. 

Believe he will murder teams underneath and when put in space. His YAC will always lead to big plays created from nothing in the short game.  

As an intermediate and deep receiver he has some ways to go. Seems like if he loses early in the route he can have trouble making up for it and doesn't always react well to press. He's a good route runner but he is missing some nuance from his game.  

He's not your classic X receiver but in an offense he can be a guy who catches 90+ passes a year and seriously hurts teams. Think of him as an Uber athletic Jarvis Landry who can play outside.
