I expect Moore to do both KO and punt return. His mediocre career KO return average (19.3) is mostly a product of his rookie year. That same year his PR average was also mediocre (7.0). The next year he was a part-time starter and frequent contributor on offense, so asking him to return both punts and kickoffs in addition to a lot of running back duty was clearly too much to expect. He was taken off KO return (only six returns the past three years) but continued to return punts. The past three years his PR average was 10.6, which is excellent. Either the blocking got better in Minny or he simply needed that rookie season to figure things out.  Perhaps both. He's not a speed burner but he has very good hands, can read blocks and make cuts. He's strong enough to break a few tackles. I expect him to be the regular KO return man and do a good job.

He is a very good receiver out of the backfield and a decent blocker. Steelers running backs last year had 55 catches between them, the lowest figure of any AFC team. Moore could have 40-plus catches all on his own. This is the best way to add to Ben's arsenal, giving him another quality receiver.

Between KO, PR, third-down back and either a spot starter or more work depending on game situations, I think Moore could put up 1,500-plus total yards. He had 1,300 in 2005 while returning just four KOs. The big challenge for him will be staying healthy.

Russell can replace Davenport, who I expect will be cut. Davis will face competition in training camp but with Moore providing third-down skills and Russell having potential as a power back, I would like to see the FB job go to a guy who is a great blocker with short-yardage running ability. Owen Schmidt as a fourth-rounder would be a great addition in the draft, giving us a quartet with speed (FWP), receiving ability (Moore), power and potential (Russell) and blocker-short yardage (Schmidt).
