So, if it starts to look like Moore or Mays is going to be more of an Ed Reed than a Michael Huff, then I'd have no problem drafting them. But, that's not my impression (at all) and I think it'd be ridiculous to draft either of them over an impact DT (Cody), CB (Davis), LB (Laurinaitis), et al.

Dan Wilkonson was supposed to be one those "revolutionize the game" type DT's. He had a nice career, but was never a game changer. No one really knows who will be the truly great player....like NBT said Sanders made it to the second round. The risk is the same with Cody, Davis, or LOD jr or Mays or Moore. All you can do is do is your scouting and go with the one you like the most. I think position (outside of QB) should only be a factor when your split between two players.
I'm not as high on Moore, but that's far from a well informed opinion.
