RYAN MOATS
Philadelphia Eagles

We're happy to add Ryan Moats to our young stable of RBs. Moats showed promise having a great sophmore and junior year at La Tech. Some were worried about his size being a factor but he measured a solid 5'8, 207 lbs. We felt Moats was the best RB left on our board with a dropoff after him. We saw some good talent at the other positions and hopefully it will still be there at 2.13 for us. Additionally Moats serves as insurance for the recently signed Westbrook.

From Footballfutures.com

Moats is an explosive rushing threat. He has excellent quickness and agility, and the speed to take it the distance. He is tough and willing to run between the tackles, and fights for extra yardage.

The biggest problem with Moats is his lack of size. He isn’t very big, and doesn’t pack a great deal of power because of it. He also hasn’t caught very many balls over his career. He’s had some nagging injuries that may become a bigger issue as he faces bigger and better competition.

You have no idea how hard it was for me to pass on Moats... especially in light of the shocker pick I'm about to make.

BTW, Matt offered me a good deal, but I was hesitant that Jake might nab my guy at 2.4 (I could be way off base, we'll see).

nice pick up.... when I drafted Jones, Miller and Moats were on my mind, but I needed WRs over RBs.

Great pick! I got to watch him play when LaTech came and romped over the UH Defense (note the picture you chose is vs. UH!). Moats is a machine. Forget the "small" label, the guy's got skills. Has the ability to be a major player in the NFL... the only question is will he get the chance (or will Philly make that trade for Henry?)?
