|BlackJesus| Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Ryan Finley 6' 4" 213 lbs Draft Projection Round 3 Overview While Finley's accuracy, production and mode of operation has been static over the last three years, his ability to improve in all areas has been impressive. He works well in a controlled environment, reads alignments and knows where the ball should go, but he failed to elevate his production against the best in-game competition and then again at the Senior Bowl. His intelligence and accuracy could find him work as a quality backup with the potential to find some future starts. Strengths Full-field reader with experience in pro-style passing attack Recognizes coverages and crafts a pre-snap plan Uses eyes to bait safeties and disguise his intentions Stands in against imminent rush harm Good pocket poise to counter and defeat blitz-happy defenses Trusts his talent and works with confidence Sustains accuracy on rollouts and when feet are moving Throws receivers away from lurking defenders Sticks it on the back shoulder when needed Alters touch and trajectory to throw between defenders in the seam Accurate deep-ball passer who floats it into the basket with proper touch Functional scrambler with feel for edge pressure in the pocket Locates escape routes and continues scanning for receivers downfield Capable traffic director when he's on the move https://www.nfl.com/prospects/ryan-finley?id=32194649-4e41-2269-1f0e-36f6ef3dd338 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More moxxy. But he does have the same # of NFL playoff wins. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|BlackJesus| Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 The Patriots wanted Finley ... just like many teams figured they wanted Jonah and even Sample and rumored to have wanted Pratt. The Bengals are drafting all the traditional Patriots picks. 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to Andy and being groomed behind and learning from him. I'm liking this more and more. So much better than Marvin ... Marvin ... Marvin uummm What's-His-Name.

snarkster Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 From looking at this draft you have to wonder why the Bengals weren't more active/aggressive in Free Agency. Oh yeah...they're the Bengals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
