Shane Ray has undoubted quality, but is he really all he's cracked up to be? Prior to the NFL Combine, an NFL scout came out declaring: "People see who he is, they're going to fall off him quick. The body structure. No way in hell he can be an outside linebacker." He was taken in the first round by the Denver Broncos despite receiving barbs of criticism, and amid charges for possessing marijuana. He represents a big risk for the Broncos, with question marks over whether he can translate his clear talent onto the biggest stage of all.
