Draft Rewind 2013 – Sio Moore – Oakland Raiders

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about SIO MOORE: Connecticut, 6006 245 4.65. Three-year starter. Had exposure at both the Senior Bowl and Shrine Bowl games which showcased his talent and athleticism. Very good range, speed, and lateral quickness. Gets through traffic without breaking stride. A good open field tackler who keeps leverage on the ball. A sudden and fast edge blitzer with long arms and big hands. A good football player who needs to build on his already strong upper and lower body. Senior Bowl notes: Displayed energy and a good motor in practice. Was quick initially and did a nice job tracking, moving downhill. Decent agility in space. Good lateral movement. Shows good instincts but did make a bad read/fit at times and got caught on the wrong side of a block. Explosive taking on blocks. Took a false step reacting at times but shows the quickness and agility to compensate. He did redirect well in traffic and was sudden in change of direction. Took good angles working to the perimeter and had a burst in pursuit. Played well in practice as he made a lot of plays versus the run and carried it over to the game. Zone coverage awareness was above average. Overall, in one practice and the game he showed all the necessary tools to play linebacker in the NFL. Moore had a rare quinella, leading both the Senior Bowl North team (6) and the Shrine Bowl East team (7) in tackles. Included among his 13 total tackles were a sack and three tackles for loss (-16 yards). Reminds us of a young Lance Briggs. 2012 stats: 72 T, 15.5 TFL, 8 sacks, 11 PBU, 1 FR. Edge speed:left 2.12, right 2.03. OSR:4/17. Second/third round. (A-33 5/8, H-10 1/4, BP-29, SS-4.31).
