Meet Dre Moore
Published: April 28th, 2008By Bucs Beat | tampabay.com - St. Petersburg Times and tbt*
Defensive tackle Maryland, 6-4, 305 Round 4, 115th pick
Highlights/stats
2007’s six sacks were the most by a Terp since Shawne Merriman’s 81/2 in 2004. … Had a career-high 10 tackles and two sacks Oct. 20 against Virginia while lined up against Branden Albert, who went 15th overall to the Chiefs.
THE VERDICT
Moore is still a raw talent, having begun playing varsity football only in his senior year of high school. He is a rare athlete for his position, a quality that means Moore is probably better-suited to play the more critical under tackle position. Jovan Haye currently starts there, but the Bucs want increased competition and an improved pass rush from the interior of the line.
