'19. Jordyn Brooks - LB - Texas Tech - 6'-1" 240 lbs. - An absolute heat seeking missile that is devastating going downhill, lacks pass coverage reps. Sideline to sideline.' That sounds a lot like Kiser's profile coming out of college. They have a Kiser, they've lost Littleton's cover skills. Question: who's your best Littleton-esque ILB in this draft,by Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
Blimey, Brian Smith only lasted two years in the league. Brian Hawkins four years...by Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
Curious about these years as a UK Rams fan who, in the late 80s, was able to get very limited NFL news A weekly paper called First Down was about it). There was the Dickerson trade picks, these were very exciting, But we couldn't watch college football in the UK, and had no idea if these players were good picks or not. As we know, they weren't good picks. So, people who watched them. What bby Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
If I'm Snead my no.1 priority is an edge rusher, but if they see someone slip to around 27 who they think is a first tier-talent, they should go for it.by Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
Do you trade the two 2nd rounders to go up and get him? If they want a straight Cook replacement they can stay in place and probably get Raegor or Hamler, but Higgins has the potential to be a No.1 receiver in the league. Curious what the draft experts here think.by Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
'Akeem Davis-Gaither round 4 is your guy. I personally like him as a will more then a mike' FWIW just looking at the PFF guide and they have him as their 54th rated player, going in Round 2, despite size concerns.by Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
Right now they have Blythe and Allen at Center. People may not rate either, but at least there's bodies there. Currently, aside from AD, there's next to no one to provide pass rush. Unless someone special drops to 52, I'm drafting the best edge available with first pick. Worry about everything else later.by Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
Thanks. Really enjoy reading your and Alyo's draft thoughts.by Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
Look at the impact a Deonte Harris had for the Saints last year. It's been a while since the Rams had a return man who felt truly dangerous. Wouldn't be adverse to a late round pick on a player like that. Draft experts, who are the best returners in this class?by Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
yeah, mcVay does like the sound of his own voice. You have to have an ego to lead, of course. But I wonder why he chose to cut ties with Wade, Fassel, Peete etc. He's obviously going to be glowing here - he's a class act - but no real meat on the bones (no pun) on why he's made these choices.by Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
Even Hekker had a bad year, it seems. Weird.by Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
Ye gods. How did the Rams draft so poorly from late 80s to, well, late 90s?by Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
I'd not be stunned if McVay brings in an O-coordinator this offseason. Stops calling plays. Maybe Jay Gruden?by Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
This season the opening drive(s) have been futile. Those are the ones you'd always grow up hearing how the O-coordinator would have all week to map out the first 15 or so plays. They've watched the tape all week. Looked at the opposition tendencies, found weaknesses to exploit. Every single game this season the Rams' first drive(s) seem to do nothing. McVay has been found out, no?by Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
He may not be as mobile as he once was but it's his sudden inability to catch the ball that's a real head-scratcher.by Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
We all know about the knee, but Gurley as a pass-catcher was such a big part of McVay's offense. Since he missed the last two weeks of last season it's like he's forgotten how to catch the ball. And that includes the playoffs. 64 passes caught in '17 for almost 800 yards, a 12.3 average and 6 TDs. 59 caught in '18 (in just 14 games). a 9.3 average. This year, 15 catches and a 5.4 average,by Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
They changed scheme to better fit Peters after the Saints game last year, as he was clearly struggling. Started to play more zone. And his performances improved.by Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
I wouldn't be at all surprised if Gurley gets cut in off-season. How much would that save? And Cook could maybe be traded after this season. Right now Kupp and Woods are the best Wrs on the roster.by Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
The bulk of the succesful runs seem to be to the outside. Yet to see runs up the gut work.by Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
There was a period in the 3rd quarter when the O-line seemed to nearly all be on rollerskates. Allen was getting noticeably blown up and I thought we might well be into a long season here. But yet we're 2-0. The O-line might well be the thing that stops this year's team going deep into january.by Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
Gurley did an interview mid-season where he said he got hurt in week one and, after signing the big contract in the off-season, he "wanted to give the money back." That really implies that whatever happened week one it was serious and career-threatening.by Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
Noteboom & Allen were the only backups active for much of last season. Right now they're starters. Which means - no backups. Safe to assume they'll be drafting a few O-linemen. Garrett Bradbury at 31 wouldn't be a shock if he's still there,by Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
take TJ Hockenson if he falls to 31?by Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
In terms of our biggest players not showing up on the biggest stage - Goff, Gurley, McVay (OK. he's a coach, but). No doubt that Donald is a first ballot Hall of Famer, barring something odd occurring. Two time Defensive player of the year. Everyone sees how good he is. But three playoff games, including a Super Bowl - zero sacks. Now, that's other teams double-teaming and doing everythiby Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
Yup, a 6'5 target in the middle of the field - you can't tell me that wouldn't improve our red zone offense at the very least.by Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
About how he got hurt week one vs the Raiders and "felt like giving the Rams their money back.' You don't feel like that if it's just a small injury. Be interesting to see if he has surgery ASAP.by Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
Been locked in on more pressing needs for the 1st round pick or free agency, but tight end might top it all after tonight. Rams just don't have that physical mismatch high-pointer in the centre of the field to bail out Goff. Simply put - a big target, I think tight ends had one target in the Super Bowl? We now know the Rams almost traded Higbee to the Vikings last off-season and put in a onby Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
Peat - the Saints guard - was horrible vs the Eagles. If he starts again next Sunday there should be opportunities for Donald and Suh.by Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
I don't doubt Wade knows more about football than we'll ever learn in 100 years, but... Might want to double team him all game next week. Just a suggestion.by Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
Yup. Got to blitz more. The D-line and OLBs aren't getting home, so... Amazing that Donald has 16.5 because outside of him no one's doing much in terms of pressure on the QB.by Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
