Don't get your hopes up. After hearing a brief comment this morning on the radio, I posed this question to LZ:
He answered:
I don't know how much this changes my perception of our upcoming draft. I think Maualuga was the only potential MLB draftee for us. But, I think LB is a very probably route and I think there's a good chance Maualuga is there at 15. So, you might want to scratch him.
You kind of snuck in a comment at the end of your show today (3/3) about hearing from "a source" that Ryans is too slow to move outside. You sounded pretty definitive about it, too.
Is this so? And does it preclude the Texans from drafting Maualuga if he happens to fall?
He answered:
I checked into Ryans being moved outside and was told "he doesn't run well enough to move the WILL". This didn't come from Rick Smith so take it with a grain of salt, but lack of speed at the OLB spot was one of the reasons he was initially bumped inside to middle.
