Broncos VP of Football Operations John Elway reiterated his confidence in Rahim Moore as Denver's starting free safety.
"Yes, they are," Elway said when asked whether Moore and SS Mike Adams are still starters. The Broncos didn't sign a free-agent safety, or draft one. Although Moore was a playoff goat, he graded out as a top-ten safety in Pro Football Focus' 2012 regular season ratings and recorded 72 tackles with one INT. May 10 - 12:47 PM

Rahim Moore - DB - Broncos

Rahim Moore is expected to return as the Broncos' starting free safety in 2013, with Mike Adams staying at strong safety.

Moore was victimized on Jacoby Jones' 70-yard touchdown at the end of regulation in the Divisional Round, and has managed just two interceptions through 31 NFL games. Ball skills were supposed to be his calling card coming out of UCLA. Pro Football Focus did grade Moore as a top-ten overall safety in 2012, so he wasn't a regular season liability. Adams was 27th among 88 qualifiers.

Rahim Moore - DB - Broncos

Rahim Moore will compete with Mike Adams and Quinton Carter for the Broncos' two starting safety spots this season.

Moore was believed to be in direct competition with Adams at free safety, but he's now viewed as a legit option at strong safety after bulking up considerably in the upper body. The three safeties could end up in a rotation if Moore doesn't impress enough in camp to win a starting job outright.

Rahim Moore - DB - Broncos

Broncos second-round S Rahim Moore has been passed by practice squad-type Rafael Bush in Denver's dime packages.

Moore opened the season as a starter, but was benched after five games for poor tackling and coverage -- the perfect storm for a safety. Bush is a career special teamer. He had one tackle in the Wild Card round win.

Rahim Moore - DB - Broncos

The Broncos have benched FS Rahim Moore in favor of fellow rookie Quinton Carter.

The 45th overall pick in this year's draft, Moore tackled poorly before the bye and has also been terrible in coverage. To this point, Carter has been mostly a third safety and special teamer. Profiled as an in-the-box strong safety type coming from Oklahoma, Carter will be playing out of position.

Rahim Moore - DB - Broncos

Broncos signed No. 45 overall pick S Rahim Moore to a four-year contract.

Veteran Renaldo Hill survived Thursday's opening round of cuts, but Moore is still expected to get a "long look" in training camp. The second safety drafted this year, Moore could use a year to bulk up before taking over as the back-end center fielder.

Rahim Moore - DB - Broncos

Second-round S Rahim Moore may be "eased into the lineup" slowly due to veteran Renaldo Hill's presence.

Moore is still expected to get a "long look" in training camp, but he could use a year to bulk up to withstand the rigors of the NFL. Third-rounder Nate Irving has a "great shot" to start at middle linebacker, but he'll have to beat out holdovers Joe Mays and Mario Haggan.

Rahim Moore - DB - Broncos

Ravens GM Ozzie Newsome would have drafted Rahim Moore in the second round if the safety was available and WR Torrey Smith was off the board.

Newsome had his eye on potential replacements for Ed Reed and Ray Lewis, but quickly realized it was the wrong year to be on the hunt. "Those were the weakest positions in the draft," explained Newsome. The Ravens figure to address safety and inside linebacker in the 2012 draft.

Rahim Moore - DB - Broncos

Broncos selected UCLA S Rahim Moore with the No. 45 overall pick in the 2011 NFL draft.

Moore is a media favorite, but he had plenty of middle-round grades from NFL teams. Ultimately, this was a reach pick to fill a need. Brian Dawkins' career is just about over, and Renaldo Hill is at a potential fall-off-the-cliff age. Moore did pick off 10 passes as a sophomore, but he had just one interception last year and isn't a physical safety. With some Reggie Nelson to his game, Moore will have to play "center field," competing with Hill and Darcel McBath for playing time.

Rahim Moore - DB - Broncos

In the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel's poll of 22 scouts, UCLA's Rahim Moore accrued 17 votes as the top safety in this year's draft.

"Good luck," Colts president Bill Polian said. "None of these safeties are a sure shot to play. Not one." Rounding out the list were: Marcus Gilchrist (61 points), Da'Norris Searcy (34), Tyler Sash (29), Quinton Carter (26.5), Robert Sands (23), and Chris Conte (14).

Rahim Moore - DB - Broncos

Despite being the top safety on many draft boards, UCLA's Rahim Moore is unlikely to be a first-round pick.

Moore's athleticism failed to wow at last week's Combine, and he also reportedly "turned off some teams in the interview room." Not a good combination if you're hoping to be a first-round pick.

Rahim Moore - DB - Broncos

UCLA FS Rahim Moore ran unofficial forty times of 4.53 and 4.61 at the Scouting Combine on Tuesday.

Moore came up short of showing elite athleticism, and also didn't help himself with just 11 reps of 225 pounds on the bench. NFL Network's Mike Mayock still believes Moore could end up being selected in the "late one to early two" range as perhaps the best pure free safety in the 2011 draft.

Rahim Moore - DB - Broncos

UCLA FS Rahim Moore has decided to forego his senior season to enter the 2011 NFL draft.

Moore is rated as the best safety prospect available and a borderline first-round pick by ESPN's Todd McShay. The two-time All-American finished his junior season with 77 tackles and one interception. Moore ranks fourth in school history with 14 interceptions. He racked up ten picks in 2009.
