Peter King: Herm will draft Matt Ryan to buy himself another year
I still doubt the Chiefs will take Ryan, but this is an interesting rationale for why they might and this is totally in line with the piece of garbage that Herm is.
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/200...21/mmqb/1.html Kansas City. Boston College QB Matt Ryan. Just a hunch, though they'll have trouble passing on Michigan offensive tackle Jake Long. Strange thing here. At the combine, Carl Peterson told me the Chiefs loved Ryan, but there was no way they could take him because of their needs elsewhere. (Offensive line, I'm guessing.) Then they sent half the front office to his workout the other day at BC. Methinks Carl does not want to be the man to pass on the guy he thinks will be a franchise player. The other thing this does is buy coach Herman Edwards one more year of rebuilding. Even if the Chiefs go 5-11 this year, they couldn't whack Edwards until after they got a really good look at Ryan. |

Hey, I'm OK drafting Ryan. I'm not trying to diss him. But if it's between Long and Ryan, I gotta think it's a no-brainer.

As a pass blocker Long doesn't sniff Thomas. Thomas has much better feet and has that "finesse" in his game it requires to be a great pass blocker. Long is a better run blocker and much more of a mauler which makes him not as good of a pass blocker......at LT I think pass blocking is much more important.
The point is Jake Long isn't going to transform the line and with the amount of money you pay a guy at 5 he better be a pro bowl level player and there are some serious questions if he's even at LT at the NFL level. |

He reminds me of Roethlisberger in his size and his moving ability in the pocket, I don't think his arm is quite that good though. Hasselbeck probably isn't a bad comparison, I'd say he's a bit of a mix between those 2 guys.

He reminds me of Alex Smith, only not as good a prospect, and 22 more int's his final two college seasons.

Alex Smith is a ridiculously bad comparison, Smith came out of the gimmicky spread option offense, Ryan comes from a pro style offense.
Smith put up stats in it, so does Chase Daniel you think he's an NFL QB? |

No I think Alex was the product of a bad QB class. As Matt will soon be.

Why would a bad QB class hurt a QB prospect's chances?

Isn't that the same we heard about Brodie Croyle? It was the reason he got injurred, his supporting cast was so bad?

Jason Campbell is developing. Aaron Rodgers i think will be good. In fact, its too bad we passed on him at the time. Hindsights 20/20.

What I think he is saying is that draft gurus are overvaluing Ryan because he is a QB. With a weak class he is moving to the top of the class by default. People automatically want to move the top QB up in the top 10.

I'm trying to say that Alex should have never beeen drafted that high, but because the QB class was weak, the best of the bunch was elevated above the level that he would be if he played any other position. The same is happening with Ryan, and he will eventually be a product of that.
