Read that He put both Raji and Brace on the ground ant the senior bowl, but he is familiar with those two from playing BC, and not too much was made of it. I read hes anywhere from the # 7-16 C in the draft so he should be able to later round/udfa but is his game good enough? room to improve or has he maxed out...any input from you VT guys would help!

SkinsWill, the Hokies O line has been the weak link on the team the past few years, even when Duane Brown (1st round to Texans in 08) was there. Shuman is likely a good udfa guy to bring in. I don't see him being much more than a depth guy in the nfl. Just a somewhat educated guess.

Can't give a detailed analysis, but from watching most of the games I wouldn't say he was the problem w/the o line, but did have some issues w/pass blocking.

Ryan Shuman | Virginia Tech, C : 2009 NFL Draft Scout Player Profile

Shuman's report indicates that an area he can improve in is strength w/only 23 reps on the bench. Otherwise it looks like he's a decent athlete for the position. He might be a good project to have as depth & maybe he could develop into a starter in a couple years w/a lot of training.

I didn't notice that. Hell, he could play longer than D. Green!

I think I heard they were showing some interest in this guy as well

Matt Huners

It makes me sick!

Well, we will definitely have the compensatory pick, so yes, we can pick up some unknown draft prospect.

GTripp0012 · 04-02-2009, 05:09 PM

I don't think we'll trade the 5th round pick, we need to give that away for tampering.

Nflnick11 · 04-03-2009, 08:29 AM

This thread is still alive since we didn't trade our draft for cutler!!!
