The Raiders drafted wide receiver Denarius Moore in the fifth round of the 2011 darft out of Tennessee. Somehow I doubt they quite knew what they had in store so early, as Moore made one of the best catches of the year thus far, and this was to give the Raiders a lead late in the fourth quarter (which they would ultimately lose):

This was soon nixed by the godlike beard-bility of Ryan Fitzpatrick to come back and win in crazy fashion, but that doesn't negate how insane this catch was. Remember, this is a fifth-round pick in his second career game. AFTER A LOCKOUT.
In a week where Devery Henderson caught a 79-yard score, Larry Fitzgerald caught a 73-yard touchdown and Jordy Nelson ran one in from 84 yards out, this was the cream of the crop. Well done, rook. Now make me a sammich while carrying me and my buddies' shoulder pads.
