Ryan may end up in a battle for the strong side if he's healthy soon.

As they should be. 

I think the talk around here of moving Jack to the WLB was just people trying to make something out of nothing.

The best thing they can do is try and get Williams up to speed as fast as possible. The best way to do that is by sticking him in the fire from day 1. Moving Jack to WLB will just slow down Williams' development. While ultimately making another hole at MLB and basically wasting a 3rd round draft pick to just play ST.

If Ryan is healthy, he should definitely battle with Jacobs (and the others) for the starting SLB job. Ryan is a liability in pass coverage though and I think if he was the starting MLB, he'd get taken advantage of in that area.

Bolded:  Oh I don't think it's something out of nothing because his skill set (that we've seen thus far)  does seem on the surface to be best suited for the will spot.  HOWEVER,  I firmly believe he deserves a chance to round out his MLB skill set with another year there.  And I'm glad he will likely get that. His potential is vast if he gets a little smarter vs the run. 

I agree with you on Williams' and Ryan's best trajectories as well.
