Best Arm - Andrew Walter
Ryan Moats #8 RB
Chris Canty - Similar to Seymour and Pryce....Future Pro Bowler!
Thomas Davis - Safety/LB - Dallas interested - Pro Bowler LB

I like Merriman, Davis, Canty and to a lesser degree Moats. I hope we avoid Andrew Walters.

I completley agree and also think someone will jump the gun on Walters before we have a chance to think about it.

I keep hearing the name Ryan Moats. Can someone break down his numbers, school played for, etc. etc.?

I hope Green Bay wants him at #20 as a future replacement for Favre and offers us some picks.

Moats - 5-8 210 La Tech

Short , strong back who will win a starting job. Compared to Travis Henry, Quentin Griffith. Tough

[Nors]

Walter - how did his pro day go today?

he might be a real wildcard here

[Nors]

More Coyle:
CB:
ROLLE
JONES
JACKSON
MILLER
WASHINGTON
ROGERS - big lie - 2nd to 3rd rounder
GREEN
WEBSTER
BROWNER

[font=Arial]Wh[font=Arial]o i[/font]s Ryan Moats? [/font][font=Arial]... [/font][font=Arial]Running backs have a hard time getting publicity in the high flying WAC, but every once in a while one comes along and takes the league by storm. Nevada's Chance Kretschmer has been a star over the last few years and Louisiana Tech's Joe Smith ran for 1,216 yards and 16 touchdowns two years ago. Ryan Moats more than picked up the slack last year and is the league's best offensive player coming into 2004.

It took a little while for him to get warmed up only rushing for 136 yards over the first four games, and then he tore off one of the best seven game runs in [/font][font=Arial]college football[/font][font=Arial] rushing for 1,127 yards and ten touchdowns all but carrying the Bulldog offense. Now he'll be the star of the offense with QB Luke McCown gone and he needs to be better than ever.

Is he good enough to carry the Bulldogs to their first winning season in a few years? If he doesn't, there could be big changes as the team has slipped over the last few years going from WAC champions to two straight losing seasons. While that's a lot of pressure to put on a running back, Moats proved last year that he's good enough to handle it.[/font]
document.write('');if ((!document.images && navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Mozilla/2.") >= 0) || navigator.userAgent.indexOf("WebTV")>= 0) {document.write('http://');document.write('&#...39;?[/img]');}http://[img]http://ad.doubleclic...789?[/img]
[font=Arial]Moats' best game so far was ...[/font][font=Arial] in last year's 44-41 loss to Hawaii. Moats ripped through the Warriors for 267 yards and two touchdowns while also catching five passes for 81 yards. His 11-yard touchdown run with just under seven minutes to go gave the Bulldogs the lead, but the defense couldn't hold.

Why you should care about Ryan Moats ... [/font][font=Arial]He's one of the WAC's best players and will be among the nation's leading rushers. He has a great line to run behind with five starters returning all geared around paving the way for Moats. This isn't a deep Louisiana Tech offense needing Moats to carry things until the new starters and the depth come around. If he doesn't have a big season, Louisiana Tech won't be a factor in the WAC race.
[/font][font=Arial]
Positives about Moats ... [/font][font=Arial]Talk about your workhorses, Moats was able handle more than 30 carries in three games finishing the season with 165 carries in the final seven games. He always gets positive yards and is always moving forward with quick feet and decent power. There isn't a better blend of home-run hitting ability and strength at getting the tough yard in the WAC than Moats. He has great hands able to break big plays when he catches the ball in space.
[/font][font=Arial]
Negatives about Moats ... He has had a few injury issues and while he proved he can handle a workload for stretches, he hasn't done it for a whole year yet. While he did a decent job against LSU after the game was decided, he put up most of his yards against some of the nation's worst run defenses.

A cool thing about Moats that you probably didn't know ... A tremendously productive high school back, Moats ran for 33 touchdowns and 2,646 yards averaging 9.2 yards per carry as a senior. He finished his career with 4,782 yards and 56 scores for Bishop Lynch High in Dallas.

Career statistics
2003: 199 carries for 1,300 yards and ten touchdowns. He also caught 27 passes for 251 yards and a score
2002: 12 carries for 38 yards. Six catches for 74 yards.

And with the loss of their O-linemen and farve's age...They could have a terrible season making their NEXT years draft picks high.
