LATROBE, Pa. -- The first-round selection of Broderick Jones in the 2023 draft -- a player who Omar Khan aggressively traded up to select -- lit a productive fire under Dan Moore Jr.
Moore had wavered as a mediocre run blocker and a decent pass blocker since being drafted in the fourth round of the 2021 draft, but that is about what was expected from a tackle drafted on Day 3, when developmental players tend to slide to with the aspiration of a coaching staff being able to tap into the traits that caused them to slide into those later rounds in the first place.
