Ryan Durand SELECTED BY: Titans Round 7 (30)

SI Grade 2.99 GRADING SYSTEM

BIOGRAPHY: Three-year starter at right guard awarded all-Conference honors as a senior. All-Academic selection the past four years.

POSITIVES: Explosive, hard working offensive guard with a good feel for the position. Quickly gets off the snap, jolts opponents at the point of attack and flashes the ability to turn them from the ball. Strong, with good hand punch, and keeps his feet moving throughout the action. Works well with teammates and keeps his head on a swivel.

NEGATIVES: Lacks footwork and agility in space. Struggles to hit a moving target, and has limited skills blocking in motion.

ANALYSIS: Durand is a solid position blocker who's been productive and durable on the college level. He lacks great upside, yet he does enough things well that he could hang around on a roster as an inexpensive backup.

PROJECTION: Free Agent
