DT8 - Ryan McBean, Oklahoma State	NFL.com Profile
Height: 6-4 Weight: 286 40 yard dash: 4.96 Grade: 74
Strengths: Ryan McBean has shown glimpses of greatness throughout his playing career at Oklahoma State. He is exceptionally strong and has good size, but the more important aspect to Ryan McBean is that he is no where near “maxing” out his size and has room to get bigger and stronger and add several pounds of muscle to his 6’4 frame. He has an excellent motor, and does not quit, and he is another DT prospect who, once coached up will be able to knock down passes at the line of scrimmage. He delivers a shot on the ball carrier when he gets a hold of them, and has the potential to be a defensive tackle who could generate sacks at the NFL level. Weaknesses: Lacks power throughout his 6’4 frame, and needs to bulk up to sustain success in the National Football League. Ryan McBean needs to work on taking on the oppositions block and becoming a strong force in run defense. McBean also needs some work on fundamentals, most notably using his hands properly to gain an advantage in the trenches. Ryan McBean will need a crash course on NFL IQ and will take time to develop, so one can not expect a complete package when drafting Ryan McBean. Overall: There are a lot of things to like about Ryan McBean and there is a substantial amount of “upside” to his game. Ryan McBean is a work in progress and you may not see the initial results you would like, but you will be hard-pressed to find a mid-round prospect with a higher potential “ceiling”. Ryan McBean most assuredly needs to get the NFL playbook and into the weight room immediately, but he is a prospect who could slip through the cracks and be drafted early on Day Two and out perform where he is selected. He also may project as a 3-4 DE or a 4-3 NT.
