Guest Sores Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 DeMeco Ryans, linebacker, Alabama Dick Corrick, an NFL scout for 30 years, reports on DeMeco Ryans, a 6-foot-1, 236-pound linebacker from Alabama: "He's a strong linebacker, but they line him up all over the formations. Has range, shows some speed. He can be an aggressive, load hitter. He plays sideline-to-sideline. He has blitz quickness, but it's the scheme more than his ability to create on the blitzes. He didn't have to snatch or jerk or move around anybody in the Cotton Bowl. The scheme just allowed him to come through clean. He got a couple sacks, but, like I said, they were scheme sacks. Then again, the fact that they blitz him maybe tells you he can do it. I think he's a good, solid player. I think he'll have to be a strong-side or inside backer. He'll probably have to play over the tight end. He looks like he has a thick body and thick legs. He wasn't built like a runner for coverage. But he's a good football player. He's just going to be a steady guy." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sores Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 If you are the Packers and gonna go LB, I think you have to take Hawk at 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budlitebrad Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Would be a solid choice if he slips to 2.5 though, which could happen with all the talent available this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Itals Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 I like him alot. I think he has heart and could be a solid 3-4 linebacker. If the 'boys traded down, they could nab him in the 1st round. I don't think that will happen. They are looking for bigger LB's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
