Jake Ryan, 2015 Fourth Round Pick

[mission]

Agree with those saying he reminds of Hawk. Not overly exciting, but seems OK for a 4th round guy.

Since he's not a top 5 pick, maybe people won't flame the kid. If he plays as well as Hawk, you'd hope he'll get better in Year 2.
Hey, they needed somebody at ILB.

I'm hoping he is better then AJ Hawk...damn I'm glad he gone.

[Freak Out]

I wanted another Michigan player....Frank Clark. I know he went in the second RD after we picked so he would have been there at #2. Dude is a possessed demon on the field....off the field as well. Oh well.....

I've kinda channeled my inner Wist on this pick.

Hope he makes it, but my impression of him is another fucking Joe college that won't elevate his game.

I hope he does play like Hawk and not Bobby Carpenter.

I watched the guy, though not extensively, at Michigan for the last few years. He's a tackling machine, for sure, but he's not a playmaker. He'll make the tackles, but they're not for a loss, nor are they startling in their ferocity. To me, the guy is a poor man's Hawk, and Hawk was already kinda poor. This guy, like Hawk, will be a coach's dream but a fan's frustration. Meh.

If he can make tackles and take on blocks, he could be more effective than late-stage Hawk, even if Ryan himself is limited. The Packers have speed elsewhere to do the rest.

He's on ok pick.........TT is fine with our ILB's

i would be happier, if he was the second ILB we had taken

stephone anthony in the first would look damn good with the rest of this draft imo

and the idea that TT and M3 think we are "ok" at ILB, is shocker. these are the same people that thought we were "just fine" there last year

I read alot of good things about this guy during the weekend. One scout had him and Kendricks as the cream of the ILB class.

If he can come back just a *little* more from the ACL, I think he could prove to be a very good pick...
