Re: Is it really that great a draft?

November 15, 2017 08:24PM
I mean, it is decent and Rams are playing terrific football, but I really attribute it mostly to the vast improvements of players already here. The real obvious difference is playcalling, and additions like Whitworth, Woods and Sammy Watkins.

If you look objectively at Everett, I don't think he has been such a good pick. Maybe that changes in the future, but so far I would give it a C pick.

Yeah, Kupp has been good, not sure I would say great, but definitely a solid contributor. B+

J Johnson - Good, not great - B

The rest look like good value for where they were drafted, not sure many game changers, but all solid selections from Reynolds, Ebukam, Price, Smart.

It was a B draft imho. They got a lot of pieces to round out the roster, but few if any game changers.

Snead is good at wheeling and dealing on draft day, I will give him that, but far too many awful selections to still have a job. His worst offenses were Tavon Austin which we also gave up a 2nd rd pick for, GRob (inexcusable to miss on 2nd pick in draft), Brian Quick and Isaah Pead. That is a lot of picks in first and second rounds that missed. I know, I know, what about Donald...well he did kind of fall way pass where he was supposed to go, so not sure I can give him too much credit for taking him at #13 when most thought he was gone at #5. Brockers, JJ and Ogletree were fine picks, but these are the types of players you expect to get when picking in high 1st and 2nd rounds. Gurley was about the only pick I was really excited he made, I love Todd Gurley....but HATE Les Snead. Anyone who claims al the bad picks were on Fisher and not Snead fail to explain what role he then played as GM of the team?
