Speaking of not-so-hot McSnead Drafts that are polar-opposites of our 2023 Draft, those 11 guys the Rams tabbed in the 2018 Draft have yielded precious little value.
PICK....PLAYER NAME.....CONTRIBUTION & PRESENT DAY STATUS
3/89.....JOE NOTEBOOM.....LOOKS THE PART, FILLED IN FOR WHIT OKAY, BUT THIS PORCELAIN DOLL IS ALWAYS IR'D
4/111...BRIAN ALLEN......SEE NOTEBOOM ABOVE, PLUS ADD THAT IN 2021 ACTUALLY PLAYED WHOLE SBLVI SEASON
4/135..JOHN FRANKLIN-MYERS...STRIP-SACKED BRADY IN SBLIII, BUT WAS CUT NEXT SEASON & EARNED BIG NYJ $$
5/147...MICAH KISER....NICE PLAYER, BUT ALWAYS IN REGGIE'S TUB & OUT EVERY WEEK DUE TO INJURY
5/160...OBO OKORONKWO.....SEE KISER ABOVE, BUT OBO DID LAND US A 7TH ROUND COMP PICK
6/176...JOHN KELLY...PROMISING RB WHO NEVER WORKED OUT FOR US, NOW IN OBLIVION (AKA CLEVELAND BROWNS)
6/192...JAMIL DEMBY...WHATEVER AARON KROMER SAW IN THIS MAINE BLACK BEAR MOOK, SURE ESCAPED ME!
6/195...SEBASTIEN JOSEPH-DAY...BEST PICK OF THIS DRAFT IMO! SOLID DL CONTRIBUTER ALL 4 OF HIS RAM SEASONS
6/205...TRAVON YOUNG...THIS LOUISVILLE DE FLYER PICK (BAD HIP INJURY) NEVER EVER TURNED OUT FOR US.
7/231...TRAVIN HOWARD....ANOTHER ONE OF REGGIE'S HOT TUB LIFEGUARDS, BUT PICKED JIMMY G IN 2021 NFCCG!!!
7/244...JUSTIN LAWLER....SMU HIGH-MOTOR ER, BUT ALAS LAWLER WAS ANOTHER HOT TUB GUY HIS WHOLE TIME
Actually, if one looks with a critical eye at the 2019 Taylor Rapp, Darrell Henderson, Bobby Evans (jettisoned 3rd Rounders) et al Rams Draft.....and the 2020 Akers/VJ/Terrells Lewis&Burgess jettisoned 2nd/3rd Rounders Draft.....and the 2021 TuTu.BBIII, Rochelle, Jacob Harris et al Rams Draft......and the 2022 Bruss
Draft.....
um....the fact is that after that great 2017 First McSnead Draft (Everett/Kupp/JJIII/Ebukam) Rams Draft, the Draft pickings after 2017 have been pretty lean "longterm talentwise" for Los Ramos, no?
Question: What would NFL GMs trade for Joe Noteboom or Brian Allen?....and what other NFL GMs would've signed Boom or Allen longterm given their respective injury histories?
Inconvenient Truth: No McSnead ProBowlers drafted since Cooper Kupp in 2017
