Maryland has produced some very good players over the years, and some good prospects that had everything needed to succeed but somehow never put it all together (Ferrell Edmunds or Warren Powers, anyone?).

I just think Moore is a slot receiver, not the guy the Jaguars need to get that S out of the box or to get defenses to respect deep.

Build wise...yes.

But I don't see anywhere near the explosiveness Harvin had.

They both ran a 4.41 40. DJ Moore had the 3rd best 20 yard shuttle, 2nd best vert, 3rd best 60 yard shuttle and the best broad jump. Seems fairly explosive.

I think Harvin is a good comp and if Harvin had stayed healthy, he was easily worth a 1st round selection. Moore is not going to excel right away at being an outside WR but I think a couple years down the line, he could develop into one.

Now I don't know if Moore should be the pick because we have a ton of WRs who need playing time but I wouldn't hate it. Especially with Moncreif and Lees injury history.

On the stopwatch at the combine they may look the same.

On the tape, it's no contest to me.  Harvin's stopwatch time translated directly to the field.  Every time Harvin touched the ball, you took a deep breath because you knew he could break a big play at any time.  Moore's time does not, and I never got the sense he is a big play waiting to happen.

To me, if you want the equivalent of Harvin's raw vertical explosiveness, DJ Chark is the guy.

Heck I was watching cutups of Alabama LB Rashaan Evans and saw more vertical separation by Chark in those clips than I saw in any of Moore's clips.
