Re: Joel Buchsbaum was First. - 1 year ago
I can remember buying and waiting for Joel Bushsbaum's draft books to come out. Yes he was the first and Kiper seemed to be the 2nd. Bother dedicated and historic figures for the NFL draft.by David Deacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Forgot We drafted a good Kicker too - 1 year ago
Just checking my post and saw I overlooked the addition of a great Kicking prospect. Based on last year that is at least 2 more wins. Love what McSnead did even more now.by David Deacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Kiper grades the Rams draft B + - 1 year ago
Here is what we do know. McSnead wanted Fiske and thought they had to give up next years 2nd rounder to get him. Now the question on why not one of this years 3rd rounders are would it have gotten the deal done or did they like who they could get in the 3rd Corum and prioritize it over next years 2nd round pick. It had to be one of those 2 things but not sure which one it was.by David Deacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Draft Over: What do you think about the team now? - 1 year ago
First I would like to say what a great draft. I just wanted to take a moment and look at it in the context of our total off season and I am excited for next year. Offense: Great QB, a High Caliber Backup, and a talented Developmental, emphasis on the mental? QB room RB: Pro Bowl Running Back, Great RB Drafted similar style Depth and Production Offensive Line: Kept Dotson added anoby David Deacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Who the hell is Mel Kiper?! - 1 year ago
Mel could be a bit excitable to the extreme. He toned it down and has done something with his hair. Still a B+ is a great gradeby David Deacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Wow Great Report - 1 year ago
Sounds like the the injury bug and maybe some refinement in playing with leverage are the only hits on this guy. Sounds like some good coaching can help big time and on technique. So if the overcomes the injury issues he is a steal where we picked him. If he had a healthy career instead of being injured where does he go? 2nd round? The injury bug issue was hung on Puka last year and he lby David Deacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Added Key Backups this year -Upgrades Everywhere - 1 year ago
I agree after the 3-6 start we were a different more mature team. While we have many new players we have a young core who figured out how to win games. Not only that they expected that they would win games. A young team matured with amazing speed. That must be attributed to the quality of the young players and the excellence of the coaching who focused on teaching and development. Yes the Rby David Deacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: This is a great pick. He will be top 15 RB next year. Better than Kyren - 1 year ago
Williams measurables don't add up which is why he lasted until the 5th round. However, his all round game and development as a legit big time rusher are not in question. He is a top back in the league. Corum got better testing numbers and has great production in college. I have a lot of hope for him but let's see how he does playing with the big boys before we get too too excited.by David Deacon - RamsFootballFans.com
We needed a RB and got a good one - 1 year ago
This guys is exactly what we needed to solidify our offense. Williams is great, much better than we could have ever dreamed of but he runs hard and so far in 2 seasons he has missed time due to injuries. The Dropoff has been huge when Williams gets hurt and it costs us precious games. Corum has a similar running style and while he doesn't give the defense that much of a different look he cby David Deacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Glad they let the draft fall to them instead...... - 1 year ago
I am glad they let the draft come to them too. Of course that is because it worked out. Do they try and move up for Newton? Or do they see really great depth in the 2/3 rounds and look to grab 3 more players? It will be interesting to see how they have evaluated the draft board and the decisions they make. Either way we probably are going to draft at least 2 really good players today.by David Deacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Rams are definitely off to a great start in this draft… - 1 year ago
I have learned to Trust McSnead. There will be mistakes and miscalculations each draft but the real point is getting guys who can play and excel and they do a great job of that. Some guys, Williams for instance, take a year, before we see the vison and value of the pick. We have to remember these are young guy and many still have to grow up a bit and great coaching can help that process. Butby David Deacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Lets hope Donald decides to show up and do some teaching - 1 year ago
It would sure be great if Aaron Donald decided to have some fun and show up and do some teaching and mentoring of these you Rams. He just might have some fun and fulfilment in retirement without having to dedicate or commit to a full time coaching gig. Positively impacting others is a great privilege and brings great satisfaction.by David Deacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: round 2 Johny Newton come on down! - 1 year ago
I think we are going to need to move up to get him.by David Deacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: McSnead presser - 1 year ago
I felt great when we picked this guy but the more you know him and how the Rams saw him it reminds me of how they talked about Turner last year. The saw a guy they just had to have. With Verse they saw a guy they really wanted to make a Ram but they were patient. We got a building block type love it.by David Deacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Rams take Jared Verse! - 1 year ago
Verse fill a huge Need and He was great value at where we were picking. Great pick, great Guy, a grown man who will be ready to play. Not sure where he ranked on their board but you can tell they love the kid.by David Deacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Reach: Very Misleading - 1 year ago
Newton, if they picked him is not a reach. Most have him rated around where the Rams are picking. What we don't know is where he sits on the Rams draft board. The whole world had Turner as a Major reach say he was picked 2 rounds early and they were totally wrong. Saying a guy who may be picked 2 or 3 slots above where draft writers have him ranked and calling him a reach is just plain dumbby David Deacon - RamsFootballFans.com
She was pretty insightful taking apart Bugler Mock Draft - 1 year ago
She is the best writer and knows how the Rams think better than anyone. This is why she can ask the great question. She thinks like McSnead thinks. Whether it is how the organization is constructed, the culture of the team etc. She also has great understand of all the players and how they fit and what they are working on. She did an analysis of Buglers mock draft and had insights on each oby David Deacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Draft A QB: A long shot. Best Backup QB we have had in LT - 1 year ago
Stetson Bennett has the skills to be a good backup QB and he is cheap. Is he over his "problem"? That is the big question but if he is we need to switch gears in how we are thinking. With Jimmy G. we have a high quality backup which gives Stetson a 1 year roadway until he needs to step into the number 2 role. We then have a quality backup on cost control for 2 more years. Not bad anby David Deacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: If McVay wants Udunze, then Snead will make it happen. - 1 year ago
Those super WR cost a lot of money having a 2 studs on rookie deals helps with the cap over the next few years.by David Deacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: love Odunze, but... - 1 year ago
I agree that Thomas at 19 looks interesting. Great size, Speed and can catch the ball. McVay can figure out how to get him open and with Kupp he can learn a more advance route tree and techniques to confuse DBs. Odunze probably requires a trade up but the kid is going to be available. Read a story about him getting injured seriously and not being able to fly home with the team. Kid drivesby David Deacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Good Read - 1 year ago
Wonder why Jalen Carter rookie season go more allocates? Draft position? Took Turner a while to explode statically? .by David Deacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: If I were doing it I would trade the two 5s for a 4 and grab a better player - 1 year ago
Great write up for a sad looking group Agree with you Audric Estime and Youngblood this guy would fit in and would be ready to be a number 2 back. A power running game matches up well with his talents and despite slow 40 time he is a strong running who decisively hits the right hold. If Williams goes down we we could get buy with him and a 3rd down type back.by David Deacon - RamsFootballFans.com

Re: Blinkscout 2024 WR - 1 year ago
Thanks this was great. There looks like some great talent to be had in Rounds 2/3. Maybe a trade down to add a extra pick in that range? Or if Thomas is there is he to hard to pass up?by David Deacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Thank you Again - Great Work - 1 year ago
Gosh what a great list. DL, Edge & CB seem pretty strong & meet the Rams needs. That bodes well for finding value when we pick. On offense it seemed like OL & WR were strong. Can only see drafting a LOT early though. My guess would be trade down, Edge or IDL with the fist pick. Same thing in Round 2 unless there is extreme value at LOT or WR. Anyway thanks for all the harby David Deacon - RamsFootballFans.com

Re: Deadpool's 2024 Big Board - 220 players - 1 year ago
Thanks Dead that was great work. Really seemed like WR, OL, CB are loaded. DL/Edge pretty good too. I guess 6 QB isn't bad either. Wish there were more RB to get excited about. Thanks for getting my juices going.by David Deacon - RamsFootballFans.com
That was great - 1 year ago
Dead as always a top notch job on the draft.by David Deacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: I d like it better if we had a back - 1 year ago
I love Williams but the Rams better draft a RB that is capable of starting multiple games. Williams tough running style and size along with his history are probably going to translate to missed time. That said I love the offensive line and Williams if he stays healthy should have a huge year.by David Deacon - RamsFootballFans.com
