2025 Projections
Jets add versatile Round 4 safety
The Jets selected Moore in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 130th overall.
ANALYSIS
Moore is very experienced after playing five years at Alabama, starting three seasons (twice as captain), and new Jets coach Aaron Glenn likely has a better eye for defensive backs than most coaches. The challenge with Moore is that he has the frame (5-foot-11, 196 pounds) and skill set of a cornerback, yet his speed fits better at safety. Playing Moore at slot corner would be one way to hide his speed deficiency while still potentially capitalizing on his standout football instincts.

Could push for sizable role early
Nick Baumgardner of The Athletic believes Moore is among the Day 3 draft picks best positioned to make an impact as a rookie.
ANALYSIS
Moore slipped to the fourth round due to pedestrian athletic measurables, but his on-field impact was apparent at Alabama, where Moore earned a role on the 2020 national title team as a true freshman and went on to be a four-year starter. Moore's excellent instincts and football IQ allow him to frequently be in the right place to make plays, which could help him play a sizable role out of the gate for the Jets, who lack safety depth behind starters Andre Cisco and Tony Adams.
