UOTE=DocHoliday;3438597]Hate this pick. He's physical but apparently more of a zone corner. Come on Bill.
NFL's description of him expressly mentions that he's likely to not track the ball and will get penalized.
Disagree 100%! Watched him for 3 years at Rutgers as a grad student.
Broke into the lineup as a true freshman. Made a lot of good plays with the opportunities he was given. The Rutgers pass defense was notacibly better once he started to play more.
Started as a sophmore and looked like he was on his way to being the best Big Rast cornerback since Revis. Really got better as the year went on. Towards the end of the year, so much that opposing teams stopped throwing to his side.
Took a small step backwards his junior year. But still had a good year. Statistically had a much better year than his sophmore year, but was beaten more than once in big situations in big games.
Has potential to be a very good corner, but probably not an all-pro or consistent pro bowler. Plays the man well if lined up at the line of scrimmage, but no so much if asked to line up 5 yards off. Gets fooled when asked to play man 5 yards off. Very good zone cover with excellent instincts and burst, however not a real speedster.
Great pick up and value at this point in the draft.[/QUOTE]
The knock on Ryan is that he gets "too physical", aka: holding and pass-interference.
But, he does "turn his head around" when the ball arrives...
