You don’t see ANY upside to Atwell other than his speed, ellard?
Some pretty smart football people took him at 57 and other teams were reportedly ready to pounce right after them. Sooooo…
But that doesn't mean it's a good pick and especially if you have other needs that are more important than a 5th wr who will basically "sit out" his first year because he has all those great wr's ahead of him. Even the smartest football people make mistakes or have a bad plan.
Combine that with his small size and other deficiencies pointed out by nicecatch and others maybe one of those "other teams" SHOULD have taken him, but for our team, there were better options there IMO.
As a Rams fan, I want this kid to shine, be ROY and be a long time future star for our team but...I just don't see that happening. If it does, I will be the first one to say I was wrong!
#HelmetHornsMatter
“Well, the color is good, I like the metallic blue,” Youngblood recently said while laughing, via NFL Journal. “The horn is terrible. It looks like a ‘C.’ When I first saw it on the logo I honestly thought it was a Charger logo.
“Now when I see it on the helmet, it just isn’t a ram horn. There is no distinct curl like a mature ram horn. I don’t know how the Rams could get that wrong. That is your symbol and it has been for what? Seventy years or more? Longer than I have been alive? It’s just not us, it’s not the Rams.”---Mr. Ram Jack Youngblood
