This was an ugly win, but those count too.
College
15) What a couple weeks. Wow. Most of the conference games (save Clemson) were really good. I have been eyeballing edge, CB, DT/5T/NG, TE, and S ... with a little focus on interior OL and backup QB (which is truly plentiful) ... the talent on defense runs high through 3 rounds and at TE and backup QB down through the 5th at least ... I really think the fact that this year's TEs are not on flashy teams is hurting them ... but will serve in our favor whether we want to challenge Higbee or replace Carrier.
16) Want to give a shout out to Jake Fromm from UGA for playing one of the better games at the position all year.
17) Bowl Games ... the setup is weird this year ... but I like it. The CFP is on the 29th (along with MICH vs. UF) ... so thats a party day ... then on the 1st may be the best day of college football we've seen in a while pound for pound ... 5 GREAT games lined up.
18) Trending in my mind ... I think we can get a safety and TE in the third ... or a CB if needed. But edge rusher we'd have to take at 32 or in a trade down. We MAY get lucky with someone like Winovich falling to the end of the third ... but I'm not interested in taking chances with that position anymore. If I had my pick I would even trade up for Josh Allen of Kentucky, but after his bowl game that's unlikely to be possible. If Austin Bryant falls he'd be a nice consolation prize.
Alyo, I agree with your watch list as far as Rams priorities but I have a question, after watching what the Cowboys did to the Saints would linebacker be a possibility with the top pick? A Cowboy level linebacker might solve two ills, the run defense as well as covering the tight end of the opposing team. If those two holes are filled this defense could be elite. Even though high draft capital should also be spent on a CB, NT and a S. Are there any J.Smith, LVE types that might be available at the bottom of the 1st round?
