With college experience as a defensive end, linebacker and on special teams, to go with " a 2011 NFL Combine 4.44 sec 40-yard dash, best among all linebackers and defensive linemen" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dontay_Moch), Dontay Moch could well be the kind of player more suited to the CFL than the NFL. The fact that Barker has been after him for three years, suggests strongly that he sees Moch as a potentially strong addition to the team.
In 2008,
Moch finished the season tied for 12th in the nation in number of quarterback sacks.[6] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dontay_Moch#cite_note-6) The Western Athletic Conference (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Athletic_Conference) (WAC) named him a Second-team All-WAC defensive lineman.[7]
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dontay_Moch#cite_note-7)In 2009, Moch was First-team All-WAC honors and was named the WAC Defensive Player of the Year . He started 13 games and finished with 61 tackles, including a WAC-leading 20.0, which set a new Nevada single-season record. He also registered 6.5 sacks, forced two fumbles and broke up three passes. Going into his senior season of 2010 Moch already owns school season records in sacks (11½ in 2008) and tackles for loss (20 in 2009) and needs 7½ sacks and 10 tackles for loss to set WAC career records.
His NFL Combine profile also suggests this.
Moch's a college defensive end and lacks size to keep his hand down in the NFL but is blessed with the burst and athleticism to develop into a 4-3 outside linebacker. Has the potential to be a pass rushing specialist. Lacks experience playing standing up in space, finding the football, and in pass coverage but fluid and quick enough to develop in these areas. Relentless in pursuit. Not stout at the point of attack and also doesn't currently have a wide arsenal of pass rushing moves. It may take some time, but Moch has several redeeming qualities. Mid-round prospect.<section style="display: block; margin-bottom: 1.6em; "><article style="display: block; margin-bottom: 0.8em; ">STRENGTHS
Moch possesses very good size and outstanding speed and acceleration for a linebacker prospect. Uses hands well in pursuit and displays impressive range and closing burst. Tackles well in and near the box. Has great get off and quickness when rushing the passer. Athletic enough to play in underneath zone coverage.</article></section>WEAKNESSES
Lacks experience playing from a two-point stance, reading and reacting, and dropping into coverage. Struggles to hold up at the point of attack. Potential liability if asked to run with backs and tight ends in man coverage. Can miss open field tackles or take improper angles to the ball.
