Dud Number 2. Wide Receiver J’Mon Moore

The Packers selected three wide receivers in the NFL draft. The fourth-round pick J’Mon Moore, which was the first of the three, has looked like the worst or most inconsistent of the group. While he has flashed some field-stretching ability, his hands have left much to be desired. A lot of the work that Rodgers does with his receivers has to do with confidence in his receivers, but Moore’s inconsistent hands aren’t doing much to help his cause.

Rodgers made headlines last week when he called out the young receivers for their poor effort in practice. Presumably, Moore was among those receivers that Rodgers called out. At 6-foot-3 and 190 pounds, Moore has the physical gifts to be the perfect compliment opposite Davante Adams. He is tall and fast, which allows him to open up space underneath for players like Randall Cobb, Jimmy Graham and Adams.

Despite his physical talent, he hasn’t capitalized on it yet this preseason. In both preseason games, he flashed some potential, but then he detracted from it with a bad drop or two. Wide receiver is a dogfight right now where a good player is going to get cut. Moore will probably escape the axe due to his draft spot and high ceiling, but he will get buried on the depth chart based on his current output.
