Mods are basically the perks on armors from D1. Feel free to equip them as you play along at lower levels because you'll get so many blue ones anyway. Some boost your armor/recovery/movement. Some abilities like melee or grenade. Some weapon handling etc.

Weapon mods are mostly modifiers of energy types. Keep all your purples for stuff you really wanna keep. They usually come with a power/light level boost for the item it gets equipped to.
