DeMeco Ryans - MLB?

yeah he has dropped a lot since the end of the season, I remember 4 months ago he was a consensus top 15 pick, I forgot all about him, but he did have a bad Senoir Bowl and there is no talk about him so yeah he will fall, but I forgot all about him

 

I think Ryans is considerably undersized to play MLB, but I could be wrong.

 

"Considerably undersized" - like him: http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/493101 ? (Jonathan Vilma); both are 6'1, 230ish lbs.

Ryans doesn't have the speed Vilma has however and thats what he's lacking (4.62), Vilma ran a 4.54 - so it ain't THAT far off.

 

I'd love it if we took ryans. With him, bulluck, and thornton, we'd have a fast LB corps.

 

Vilma is also undersized for an MLB. If you think Ryans is as good as Vilma, by all means draft him, but I don't think he is.

 

Demeco forget it....

They guy is too slow. He is dropping like a rock. I wouldn't touch him until the fifth or sixth round.

 

No...

Ryans is more from the davis thornton mold. An outside backer only. Roach at 6'2 250 would be a better bet for the middle and he could be had in the 4th rd. Maybe even the 5th.

 

Ryans too slow?

He had a better 40 time than chad greenway. 4.65 isn't bad just not 1st rd material.

 

Vilma IS undersized no doubt, but he's still a force in the middle. As long as the DTs do their job - he will succeed wherever he goes. "Real" linebackers don't need help (if you are EVEN thinking of that) - Ray Lewis is a prime example.
