where OCs McCoy and Bradbury are off the board. So is OT Dillard. Burns, Allen, Sweat, Ferrell and Bosa are gone at edge, the top 3 CBs (Murphy, Williams and Baker) are gone and you cannot trade down, who are you taking?
Its a scenario I could see happening. In fact Lance Zeirlien's latest mock (3/21) actually has that almost happen (McCoy is left).
And anyone can answer. Because I'm really interested in any and all thoughts. Here would be my top names as legitimately available players:
Dexter Lawrence - I'm a big fan of his as a football player, not as a fit in a 1 gap penetrating NT in Phillips defense.
Mack Wilson - I have a feeling I am the only one that has him as a first round pick. He certainly could replace Barron.
Noah Fant - I do think the Rams like him alot, I am not sold they would use such a high pick on another TE
Devin Bush - He weighed in heavier then I tohught he would and had a great combine. I don't think he gets to the Rams, he could and is he a fit?
Chris Lindstrom - He's a fit at LG, and left guard only.
Jeffery Simmons - a draft and semi-stash penetrating IDL that could look great next to AD. Off field red flags
Jachai Polite - he is by far and away the most dynamic pass rushing edge left in the draft, his red flags about work ethic and lockerroom presence is not good.
Chase Winovich - He is a 3 down edge that gives you flexibility in that he can stand up or put his hand in the dirt. And he can defend the run.
Jerry Tillery - another IDL that has some personality red flags and a hot/cold motor, but his talent is undeniable...
Amani Oruwariye - the 4th CB in the draft, a bigger kid at 6'-2" 205 lbs. A press man candidate for sure.
To me, Lawrence and Lindstrom aren't true fits. Tillery and Polite are off the board due to red flags. Wilson is a reach. Winovich and Oruwariye are minor reaches. That leaves an injured and red flagged Simmons, a tad undersized LBer in Bush and Fant. If those were my 10 options. i think I reach with Winovich. I think the Rams look long and hard at offensive weapons like Fant or a WR or Jacobs.
If I'm being totally honest, I think i would take Chauncey Gardner-Johnson or Nasir Adderley to groom behind Weddle and who could play some nickel and dime in the meantime. But thats just me.
I think there is a good chance that either Bradbury or Dillard will be there or one of the top 3 CB. I think it is very likely McCoy is there. If they consider these guys their biggest need and evaluate these player to be roughly the same value as the others on the board it could very well be that they pick one of these guys.
Jachai Polite I think will fall big time after alienating just about every team at the combine. To many read flags. Maybe if he fall to round 3 they will take a lotto ticket on him.
I think they would consider Bush but I don't think he falls to them.
I think they would consider Simmons but would rather take him in round 2.
