3. Rondale Moore

Moore is a wideout who possesses top-10 talent when he’s able to stay on the field. Questions about his injury history and lack of durability will push him down most team’s draft boards.

The reward could easily be worth the risk for the Packers at No. 29. Moore’s highlight tape at Purdue is nothing short of jaw-dropping. He’s a slot receiver who can turn any touch into a touchdown if he’s given the slightest bit of space to work with.

He’s certainly going to tempt the Packers if he’s an option for them towards the end of Round 1. They need to find a way to make Rodgers’ life easier in the passing game. They’ve never really had a slot weapon with Moore’s playmaking ability. It would be very interesting to see what he could do in LaFleur’s offense.

Someone will likely roll the dice on Moore in Round 1 and Green Bay looks like an intriguing landing spot for the 5-foot-9 wideout. If his injury issues vanish at the next level he could turn into a big star. There’s also a chance he washes out of the NFL after his rookie contract because teams just can’t count on him to stay on the field.
