The more I read about Moore, the less I think he was a reach. If you look at the issue Volume 31, Number 21(April/May 2003) of Dolphins Digest, on page 21 they list Eddie Moore as a canidate for the No. 49 pick. I know we all had wish lists of players we wanted to get drafted but I doubt Moore would have lasted to mid round three.

- undersized - OK as long as you are fast and can tackle since he will be protected by Tim Bo and Chester
- Derrick Brooks

He sounds like a bigger faster Zach Thomas type linebacker. One thing I noticed and liked about most of the players we drafted, is that most draft guides made mention to there "football intelligence" or intelligence in general. Sometimes these intelligent guys work out better than guys who have great athletic ability. Take Yatil Green and Aubrey Beavers for example these were guys with superior athleticism who weren't very smart and they never made it in the big leagues.

I was just reading a piece over at www.sun-sentinal.com and they have a lot of praise for both him and Jenkins. Wanny went as far as to say that both would be playing special teams. He also said that at pick 49, there wasn't anyone else on the board that could come in and START and contribute as much as Moore could. Are we missing something that only the FO can see? If he really has all those tools, I will be pleased but he still seems like a reach. I think it also spells a close to the end for Greenwood.

You of all dolphins fans didn't even mention Nick Bouniconti? hall of fame undersized middle linebacker who oblviously had a remarkable career in the nfl and not far from brilliant which his the opposite of what you think of this fellow.
i don't think he forgot, it was so long ago its not worth mentioning in this thread!:D

Close end for Greenwood?? Moore and Greenwood will be the Outside Linebackers for Miami for many years.. They are our future at linebacker.. Remember, Seau is 34 and Zach is 30.. This pick is not intended to have Greenwood packing but maybe pushed even harder....
HOORAH:drinker:
this is true, greenwood didn't look half bad last year!:D
Because we draft a linebacker who is under six feet, he is automatically Zach Thomas?
This guy will be lucky to be running down the field on Kick offs.
It was a huge reach. Every source available, ESPN, Pete PRisco, John Clayton, everyone believes it was a reach and a total screw up of a pick.
They are right.
