Mock 2.0

Its been a zoo lately for me. And I doubt it slows down any. But i said I would get a mock out so here it comes. First some thought I shared in the Alyo thread i will re-post in this one:

As we head into FA, here is where I am at mentally. (insert jokes here)

1. Tru is gone.
2. Britt and Quick are gone.
3. The Rams will sign a Washington WR and I pray its Garcon, have a sinking feeling its gonna be Jackson.
4. The Rams will also add some mid range pcs to the defense in the front 7.
5. I can see the Rams signing a lower end FS.


After FA going into the draft:
1. The OT class is a hot mess and there is exactly 1 LT that can start year 1 and it isn't Robinson.
2. The Rams are going to draft a QB that fits McVay/Olsen/LaFluer
3. The Rams biggest needs going into the draft will be CB, 3-4 OLB, WR, OL and a QB


Mock 2.0 2/17/17

Round 2:
Gareon Conley - CB - Ohio St.
CB is just too deep not to take advantage and get a very good one in the 2nd round. I love his size and physicality along with his ability to locate the ball. Can get off balance on inside moves, so I'll watch his movement drills at the combine closely.

A WR would makes sense as well. Cooper Kupp would be a target. As would be one of the top 3 TEs. A rush backer makes a ton of sense as well. A little trade down would be the most ideal as the talent is so deep, adding a pick makes a ton of sense.

Round 3:
Jordon Willis - OLB - Kansas St.
The Rams desperately need a OLB opposite Quinn and Willis should fit the bill. Can play the run and pass, is relentless and finishes. Son of Bum should turn him into an animal.

Again a WR or a CB makes a ton of sense as does a FS.

Round 4:
Josh Reynolds - WR - Texas A&M
A tall, lanky WR that has excellent hands and wins 50/50 balls and will most certainly will be a redzone favorite. Watch his vertical leap and long jump at the combine. it should be very good. My only concern is his thin frame and ability to add weight.

Round 5:
John Johnson - FS - Boston College
A rangey FS that isn't afraid to stick his nose in the LoS. He can get deeked by double moves, but it isn't anything that isn't correctable.I honestly think in a normal year for FSs he would be a 3rd rounder at worst. Its just so deep the Rams should take advantage of it.

Round 6a:
Chad Kelly - QB - Ole Miss
Rams need a QB to groom behind Goff and I chose a gunslinger that needs to make better decisions withe the ball. Maybe he is McVay's type and maybe he isn't.

Round 6b:
Dare Ogunbowale - RB - Wisc.
3rd down back for the Rams that can catch and pass block.

Round 7:
Chase Roullier - OG/C - Wyoming
HC Craig Boll is good with OL going back to his days at NDSU, so its no surprise Wyoming has a few decent ones. His interior versatility is welcome on this team.

I can literally see all the complaints from posters in my head right now:
Where's the LT?
Where's all the WRs?
Where's the TE?

I think the Rams go hard at WR in FA as I said earlier. 1 from Washington and maybe a guy like Cord. Patterson or Robert Woods.
I also think I have never seen a draft or FA so bad for LTs as this year. Some very average to below average LTs are going to get overpaid or over drafted. Stay away and make Robinson/Saffold work.
TE is a very real possibility in the draft but the pick never meets value for me.
If the Rams can trade back in the 2nd Cooper Kupp might be my guy.
