Look, I'm not comparing Ryan to Brady. There are intangibles that make Brady one of the top five quarterbacks of all time. We have no idea at this time whether Ryan has those intangibles, the most important one being pocket toughness.

Ryan might melt when Mike Strahan and Jared Allen start harassing him. If Ryan remains cool under pressure, he could develop into a perennial Pro Bowler.
And with our QB stable of Croyle, Huard, and Thigpen.... I don't see how we could pass on Ryan if he is there at 5.
