There were a lot of people wondering about Matt Ryan, his arm strength, his accuracy, etc., given that he hadn’t thrown, but any doubters may soon become believers. Ryan threw in front of pro scouts today at Boston College, and he did nothing to hurt his draft stock.

Ryan worked out at BC’s biggest Pro Day ever, throwing to former teammates for a mini-combine of 42 scouts and other personnel evaluators from 22 NFL teams. He completed 48 of 52 passes — three drops, one overthrown — from three-, five- and seven step drops, from the pocket and on the run, throwing to both sides of the field.

“I made every throw you need to make in the NFL,” said Ryan, who skipped the Senior Bowl and ran but didn’t throw at last month’s NFL combine in Indianapolis. “I thought it went well. It was the first opportunity I’ve had to throw in front of the scouts live.”

It’s hard to say where Ryan will fall. The Dolphins need him, but the Dolphins are good at not drafting players they need (they took Ted Ginn last year, which was about the last thing they needed). Up next is St. Louis, who’s not taking him, and it’s not certain the Falcons would draft him if he’s available. The Raiders took JaMarcus Russell, and the Chiefs actually seem content having a bad quarterback run things.
