Is he being serious?
Or is it coachspeak?
A smokescreen?
Hard to say at this point. But if it’s a genuine clue? Let’s see...
Might mean that OL is off the table at #31. OL players are rarely described as explosive.
Might mean that a trade down out of our 1st is less likely. Wouldn’t explosive players be less likely to be found in the 2nd and 3rd rounds?
Are DL players generally considered “explosive”? Maybe if they’re an Aaron Donald, but are there any such likely to be there at #31? Nope.
Most of us think of certain positions as “explosive”, such as RB, WR, maaaaaybe a certain TE (or two), perhaps Edge.
I doubt that there will be an ILB, CB, or S that would be described as explosive sitting there at #31.
Sooooo...
What to make of this McVay comment? Is McVay’s priority at #31 different than that of the pundits and we fans? I’m thinking it’s probably more smokescreen than anything else. But it’s certainly heightened my interest in the Ram draft, if that’s even possible. Lol.
