[5E] Small velociraptor-type creature NEED HELP :)

A typical eagle is around 2 or 3 kg (~5-6 pounds) and 60 to 70 cm long. The largest eagles might weigh 6+ kg (13+ pounds)* and approach a meter long. It's impossible to say for sure how much an extinct animal weighed in life, but a Velociraptor mongoliensis is about 6 feet long and

So are you aiming for a "velociraptor" that's actually as big as a Velociraptor mongoliensis or one that's the size of an eagle?

A typical eagle is around 2 or 3 kg (~5-6 pounds) and 60 to 70 cm long. The largest eagles might weigh 6+ kg (13+ pounds)* and approach a meter long. It's impossible to say for sure how much an extinct animal weighed in life, but a Velociraptor mongoliensis is about 6 feet long and I'd guess would weigh about 10 to 15 kg - five times more than a typical eagle.

*It's worth mentioning that eagles in zoos sometimes get significantly heftier than wild ones typically do. Captive animals often get overweight from having plenty of food and not much exercise.

The stats look fine for an "eagle sized" Dromeosaur, except I don't think such a creature's Pounce attack should have a knock down effect - would you think an average person would be knocked over by being jumped on by something the size of a chicken or small terrier?

If you're aiming for a "6 foot" Dromeosaur I'd give it another Hit Dice and tweak its Strength up a notch or two to around Str 8 or Str 10. That'd put those stats between those of an Eagle and those of a Wolf, which feels about right to me.
