Even the most staunch Ryan Pace critic isn’t going to knock what the man has accomplished in the fourth and fifth rounds of the NFL Draft. In rounds where prospects are usually a coin flip at best of having even a modicum of success, Pace has not only found successful NFL players, but excellent ones.
In just four years on the job, Pace has found Adrian Amos, Jordan Howard, Tarik Cohen, Eddie Jackson and Bilal Nichols in rounds four and five alone.
That doesn’t even mention players like Nick Kwiatkoski who may not be the best linebacker in the business, but as fourth rounders go, most teams would be pretty happy with that level of performance.
