As far as challenging the DB's, I only saw one real jump ball that he had a chance at (the TD) and he went up and got that one. Lance Moore is a great route runner, but he tends to duck under contact quite a bit himself (that's not to suggest he's never taken a shot and held on). His best catches are when he's diving/sliding to make a tough catch. The only way I'm going to complain about a receiver's guts is if he just stops running (like Randy Moss) in the middle of the route.

You and I saw these clips quite differently, but regardless I think it's a nice pick for the 5th round.

Here is everything I saw:

:25 - This is hard to say, If he was on the 15-yard out then he did it right and it was underthrown, if he should have been on the 10 yard out he adjusted his route too much and missed the ball.
1:28 - Has position on the DB, who walks right through him to deflect. No effort to box out, only attacks the ball with a single hand to deflect the interception.
1:36 - Not a great pass, but the ball is in his range. He loses track of the ball in the air, doesn't even come close to making a play.
3:05 - Replay shows that he adjusts his route after the ball is in the air, causing him to lose a step or two, that ball was over thrown, but he may have had a shot at it if he stayed on route and run through the DB.
3:32 - Just drops an easy TD
3:42 - Another straight up drop
3:48 - Once again unaware of ball position, despite being in position to challenge the DB for the ball, doesn't make any move, and leads to an interception.
