Pro Ayers:
Ayers versatility will result in more teams taking a gander at him, while Houston is more pigeon holed as a 3-4 OLB type. Ayers can do more things and has more hype.
Pro Houston:
While Akeem Ayers is the more well-rounded player at this point, again it is about getting to the quarterback with many of these prospects and that plays into Justin Houston’s strength.
