Rondale Moore could end up being a total steal for the Atlanta Falcons

Terry Fontenot successfully offloading Desmond Ridder for any type of potential impactful return is impressive. Getting Rondale Moore for a player the entire league knows you want to move away from is a testament to his connections within the league and his abilities. This doesn’t mean Moore is going to join the Falcons and become a star receiver.

Rather highlighting the upgrade at quarterback and on offense that could make the receiver a bargain for Atlanta. Moore enters his fourth season, compiling 1,201 receiving yards and 3 touchdowns over three seasons in Arizona.

It’s worth noting the complete dysfunction the coaching staff, offensive play calls, and quarterback situations have been in since Moore joined the team. Judging the receiver by numbers alone is not an accurate representation of what the Falcons can expect from the receiver.

Breaking down the tape, it becomes clear that Moore is a potential steal for the Falcons. Although he is a player with limited ceiling, but his speed and ability to find open space stands out. Just as is the case in Atlanta, Moore has often benefited from having better targets around him with the Cardinals.

If Moore can win the third receiver role as expected, that will be even more the case. You have Bijan Robinson, Kyle Pitts, Drake London and Darnell Mooney all expecting to get the ball before Moore. Rondale gets a chance to play Taylor Gabriel as a forgotten man capable of making big plays at a moment’s notice.

Moore hit 74.2 percent of his targets, a solid percentage considering the quarterbacks he played with over the last three seasons. The receiver’s best role will be to use his speed by taking advantage of the misdirection that the larger targets around him will create.
