So I have defensive starters in place across the board. Therefore my strategy is changing a little. I'd rather get a developmental CB in this draft then let a position of need go unaddressed. If Tru is traded, I will be adding a CB early.
2) Engram ... the only gripe I'm hearing is that there are thoughts that he may not be there. Until I get more mocks showing me he won't Im going to leave him here. Gerald Everett would be my backup and he'd be a 1b to Engram's 1a.
3) WR ... Juju/Kupp/Godwin/Z Jones/Chad Hansen ... one will be there. One will slide. There's too much talent elsewhere and those guys are not top ALL 50 talents. Not in this draft anyway. I have been leaning away from WR this early, but my feel is that the brass will not be. I have Josh Reynolds, Taywan Taylor, Darboh, and Ardarius Stewart a half shade below these guys and personally I'd prefer to get value later ... but these kids all have something special about them and that half shade may matter.
4) C Pocic or Elflein ... I prefer Elflein but he may be gone.
4) CB Brendan Langley ... I like him for development and taking over for Tru ... he's got skills just needs high speed reps.
5) OLB Vince Beigel ... Im going to consistently draft him in this area ... he reminds me of Barwin.
6) ILB Jayon Brown / Reeves Maybin smaller ILBs with great range.
6) Josh Tupuo ... NT ... a quick kid for being a big man. True Nose tackles are worth investing in.
7) RB Justin Davis USC ... 6-1 208 and ran a 4.48 ... was not expecting that. I need a big backup to Gurley. I'd prefer Brian Hill but I have him gone in the 4th or 5th.
Thoughts and comments welcome ...
I am all in on Engram as well. I think he'll be there and if McVay is serious on getting Goff weapons, he would be the best available. Unless he sees a TE that fits his system he can get later. But I love Engram with McVay.
The only other real possibilities are CB, maybe a OG/C like Feeney (whom I also love) an edge or some massive name that drops for whatever reason.
Round 3 - I would add ArDarius Stewart. Otherwise we are in lockstep here.
Does Elfein fit McVays OL? Im not so sure, but I personally really like Elfein then Toth as far as OCs. They met with Chase Roullier in the offseason so maybe Elfein fits.
Beigel is a favorite of yours and I have no issues with him if the Rams pass on guys like Willis and Rivers earlier in the draft to get offensive toys.
Really like Brown.
Tupou is a solid choice.
I really wonder if the Rams spend a draft pick on a RB. I like the pick, just would rather see it spent on a FS that likely falls.
Overall, nicely done with this one.
