Thank you truly ... I am starting to get nervous about 36. Most of this time I have been assuming certain players wouldn't be there. I'm not so sure now. The mocks have had guys I really like going lower and falling out of the first round. It only takes a few teams making mistakes or getting impulsive to send a top tier talent into the 30s. Like we could be wanting to trade but staring atby alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
Welcome to my final list of the year ... thank you all for reading and all your kind words throughout the post season process. I made this list earlier than normal to try to steer clear of "last minute" draft garbage that happens every year ... and also because I've become almost adult-ish with my time management. *knocks wood As per all my grades I'm grading players being playedby alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
But I'd say Coach/QB combo over just QB.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
Sleeper? Tillman. We may know teams expect him to fall to the third and just jump on a WR mate for Kupp and a beast mode guy for Stafford.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
If you can get Iosevas in the 5th that's a plain robbery. You'd be hard pressed to find a better draft steal. Tillman has a pretty high floor and is physical ... he's a great 2nd WR or top possession guy. Iosevas could pull a C Watkins from last year. He could be a 1. Deep threat and possession threat and end zone threat and route runner. Only thing Tillman has on him is physicaliby alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
Bergeron and Duncan are the only two players in our range that could play inside a year and then kick outside ... Bergeron lacks the length we usually like, but Syracuse plays in the ACC. Syracuse fought this year. He handled it.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com

Pack will be in position to move up for Williams or Maye and they will have the extra ammo to do it.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
He's 175 and I haven't seen him really dig into a block.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
I think I'm seeing the same thing. There were many moments at the beginning of the post season process that I wanted an interior linemen with one of the first 3 picks. But ... value isn't there. It's just not. It's sad because Creed Humphrey was a steal where he was drafted. He'd be a first rounder this year no doubt measured against these guys. The strength of this draft is CB, TE, RB, Edby alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
Kancey is #14 overall for me. Gibbs and Torrence are in the low 30s.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
I've seen him going as early as the teens and as late as the 50s. My guess is he doesn't get to the second frame.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
Maybe in a different year O line might be there, but it's not this year.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
Yeah I feel like he's setting up his moves when that happens, but it should be noted that Duggan wasn't always good at "placement" for him. You get a QB who can put it in his neck and I think that problem goes away for the most part.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
He'll be a late round steal for someone.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
His hands are a risk I'm willing to take. Pretty sure it's concentration stuff and he just needs to stay settled. After the catch is the thing. Every once in a while I see someone at the college level with a move that top end pros don't have. He has a first move spin/pivot that I've never seen. Closest to it was Josh Gordon in his prime. He creates so much space that even if theby alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
TE in round 3. I'd love it. It's my favorite position and it's a great year for it. LaPorta is my 29 and T Kraft my 58. Both could be there in the third and be pro bowl level players. After we got Hunter Long ? I kinda gave up on one that high. That said ... Durham Mallory Latu And MANY more are available later and could also be crazy talents.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
Hyatt and Johnston in normal years would definitely be gone. But this year most teams are stacked at WR. Most teams that aren't need help elsewhere.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
I've finished with all my grading and I'm waking up earlier so I have extra time to spend honing some draft thoughts ... I feel like I'm getting to know them better as far as what they prioritize so I have some calls to make and maybe a few questions. One note I want to make is something they said about interviews ... it's only if they need to "know more" ... some prospects are asby alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
Drew sanders has steelers written all over him. If you take him there he's playing outside. That said, all those picks are plus value for me.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
See Deadpools answer.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
With Pitt paying 5 mil of his salary it doesn't seem right, but it was a 3 year deal we bailed on in 1 ... so we could be eating a lot of it.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
The tricky thing is that he played heavy as a DE ... so I'm first agreeing with what deadpool said ... I don't know how he plays at 245 or 250. I would be sad if we picked him at 36, but not after a trade down to the 40s and I'd be happy if we got him in the third, which is where I have him as a value pick. For reference, Byron Young is at 75. I think Yaya Diaby is my next edge outside theby alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
But even in the 5th it's a decent value pick. SA had him and Jarrod Wayne (WR) this year and I like both more than their supposed draft positions.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
*Polishes hardware*by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
I may be missing something... RB with a 5th year option and they are the cheapest second contract. If you get a can't miss all world player for that how is that misspent money? If it's an edge your second contract is huge. If he's all world. If he's average it's still bigger than Bijans. But hey, maybe they're thinking running Hurts will never get him injured. With 250 mil invested.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
Same. I think edge CB amd WR are the first 3 picks and likely in that order amd almost none of those players. Bpa meets need like that.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
