Robert Ayers

Most mocks I've seen have him going somewhere between 20 and 40. We'll know more after his pro day, but I don't think he's a top 20 guy.

Ayers decided not to run another 40 today. He did shuttle drills and worked out at both defensive end and linebacker. He has private workouts scheduled with a few teams, one of which is planning on running a hybrid/3-4 defense (Denver).
Running back Arian Foster didn't show up to his pro day. He's been battling a hamstring injury suffered at the Senior Bowl, but his no-show just feeds into concerns about the guy's durability and character. As of now, he's probably a late round pick.

I do...the only issue is he only has one year of tape...but had a Great senior year, senior bowl. in fact was a force at the senior bowl. beat up Andre smith. we'll see but i think he goes in first no doubt!

I really like Ayers, but he only notched 3 sacks last year - he was good, not great. Until he blew up at the Senior Bowl, people were talking about him as a 3rd Round pick.

Scout.com's Adam Caplan is hearing that the Browns really like Ayers. I doubt he's an option at #5, but he could be one if they somehow engineer a trade down to the late teens.
Here's some more footage of Ayers:

He may be picked that high, though he lacks the production you'd expect from a top 20 pick.
The more interesting aspect of this is that he's apparently being considered as a 3-4 OLB prospect. And I kind of agree with Heck; he doesn't have the quickness or loose hips you'd like to see in a guy who'll be playing in space. However, he should do a good job setting the edge in the run game, which may be what Mangini's most interested in.

He's this year's Justin Harrell, a guy who wasn't even in the first round discussion until the final month or so, and then gets picked in the middle part of the round.
That was a bad pick then. I'm not sure this one would be any better.
