2021 NFL Draft: Breaking down Dan Moore Jr. Part 1, Pass protection

The Steelers started Day 3 of the NFL draft in a similar way they ended Day 2, by picking an offensive lineman that wasn’t one of the hyped up names of the draft. Kendrick Green gave the Steelers an interior lineman, and Dan Moore Jr. gives them a tackle. Moore Jr. was drafted 7 spots higher than Kevin Dotson was in 2020, and similarly to how Kevin Dotson was only started when injury forced him into the lineup, I expect the same plan to be in place for Dan Moore Jr.

This is going to be a longer film room because of that, and because we are looking at his play beyond what he brings right now, looking for positive and negative traits.
