Witherspoon and Brown came into the year as the stars but Martin started to make plays when the QBs went at him ... and his testing #s are nuts. He did a little of everything. Illinois almost beat Michigan. As far as Adewore ... I don't have the tape I need to see ... his performance at the Senior Bowl was excellent and we like our DTs smaller and stronger ... so he's likely on the list sby alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
Your mocks are so dead on I have to really stretch to do my own ... which makes it interesting. I think all those picks make a ton of sense and I'd love that draft. I will be copying your trade down because looking at who will be there at 36 I think we're in all second tier players and trading down makes too much sense for us. Love the Charlie Jones pick. Darius Rush is a target for me in thby alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
I had him as a 3rd rounder. No idea why he didn't stick. Makes zero sense. He carried Baylorby alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
Neither do I but it was basic and small school. One comp in this class is Darius Rush. 4.36 40. 11-4 broad ... Likely a mid 3rd to early 4th rounder even with those numbers AND killing it at the senior bowl. And he played SEC ball. Kicker? 2nd best CB on his team. Cam Smith had similar workout #s and will likely get drafted 40-50 picks earlier at the top of the second.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
When we took Rochell in the 3rd his measurables were far and above... This year he'd go no where near as high because the measurables of this class are off the charts. He's just average in this class. So we shouldn't have that problem. No small school kids being mentioned high. Not even the group of 5. Almost everyone is power 5.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com

Really it was one of the "games for the ages" ... I was saving it for end of season when my tivo busted and ate it. Was so bummed. That had to have been insane.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
But I'll play ... Caleb Williams and Drake Maye will fight for #1 overall. I'd rather have Maye. JJ Mccarthy, Riley Leonard, Michael Penix, Austin Reed, Garrett Shrader, Sam Hartman, and a few others are in the mix. If it's me I trade down in the second this year and draft Hendon Hooker and then we don't have to worry about it.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
I don't think I'm seeing the same thing. We haven't restructured Kupp or cut Higbee or the O line 2nd contract guys. We were competitive at the end of last year without half our team. We will be fine. You can lose basically everything except the QB and be fine with good operators at the coaching and GM levels. There are many FA guys out there right now and we have guys in houseby alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com

He and Durham are my targets because of the aggression they run with. They punish tacklers ... That tenacity translates to run blocking.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
This year the difference between a third round safety and 6th rounder is minimal.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
That's actually a really cool thing ...by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
Injury at Vtech was something else and was minor. Memory was off. So ... even better.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
Ummm ... I think he *might* be ready by then but I'd be hesitant and I'd definitely have a 3rd QB to take reps from him. My guess is that he can take practice reps from Matt if needed for elbow insurance ... As far as game manager and such ... he's not. Jalen Hyatt owes him a million easy... Also, he's closer to Lamar Jackson as a runner. I'd just rather him not. As far as the ACLby alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
I could quote Arthur, but yes.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
Coming into this draft season, we are faced with an aging Matt Stafford, a financially bloated cap, and a need for a backup QB. The problem we would normally have ... "Drafting a backup usually means inferior talent, and with McVay that's unlikely to solve the "aging Matt Stafford" problem." ... leaving us with a need to trade into the top 3 in the next few years. But thby alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
Was just about to devote a whole post to Hooker. He's the rarest opportunity I've seen ... top 10 QB who is injured *but will be healthy for the season* who is not getting drafted in the first round?by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
Yeah I wouldn't draft him, but I'd bring him into the building asolutely. And anyone not drafted would want to be here if we don't draft someone because we have a hole there.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
I think we're fine. We still have a couple players to cut/trade on top of that.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
Not worried.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
But I'd still take Duggan or Haener first.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
Average league career is like 3 years. I think maybe even less like 2.7 ... so the fact that guys aren't in the lague anymore for most is expected. Other note ... Looking at drafts with Snead, without McVay is one thing ... With Snead, McVay, and Holmes is another ... and now without Holmes is yet another.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
To get a chance to start. Backups make more than that.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
I feel like we'll have a 4th rounder... But 5th,6th,7th TE, LB, SlotCB, S, backup QB, OG x2... mayyyyybe an edge drops? Nick Herbig or Lonnie Phelps or Jose Ramirez? DT is weak. No point IMO. Pick up castoffs from other teams a la Murchison and get Bobby Brown on the field. That said, if Jarod Clark falls I'm in. I just doubt that.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
