Robert Ayers, DE

    Selected:

  • College: Tennessee
  • Age: 23
  • Height: 6-foot-3
  • Weight: 272 lbs.
  • 2008 Stats: 49 tackles (34 solo), 15.5 tackles for loss, 3 sacks




Scouting Report: Doesn't appear to do anything particularly well, but finally posted numbers in 2008. Decent strength and speed, but nothing off the charts. Makes solid moves on the line, which is why he managed to come up with so many plays in the backfield.

2009 Outlook: If he plays like he did late in his Tennessee career, he could become a very effective defensive lineman. Otherwise, he's going to struggle with the speed and strength of the NFL game and be more of a role player.
