1. MATT RYAN, Boston College (6-4½, 225, 4.89, 1) – Started for 2½ seasons (25-7 record), breaking out as a senior. “This is a one-year aberration,” one scout said. “He threw 19 interceptions. C’mon. His best game was Virginia Tech. Other than that, what’s he got to hang his hat on?” Other personnel men admire his charisma, work ethic, smarts (28 on the Wonderlic intelligence test) and almost unflappable demeanor. “To me, his arm and athleticism are more like (Philip) Rivers,” Chicago GM Jerry Angelo said. “(Ben) Roethlisberger was athletic and could run some. This guy is not any of that. It’s not like he’s special with his arm strength or accuracy, mobility or strength. It’s his intangibles.” Posted an NFL passer rating of 83.2. Struggles reading underneath coverages. “I think he is NFL-ready mentally,” Seattle scout Charles Fisher said. “He can read the high safety. He can do that stuff. I don’t see a very strong arm. He takes some chances that he shouldn’t but he can read the defense.”
