Right ... I think when you look at him and say "what do we have to give up to get him?" Take that number and add 50% to it? I'm still okay with it. Likely it would only take the 2025 1st ... But I'm happy giving more. 3rd this year and next on top? Okay ...by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
Points scored with a solid defense equals a championship. No matter what is said ... Matt Stafford and Cooper Kupp beat the Bengals, and they knew it was coming. Couldn't stop it. That was without a running game.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com

OT ... a position of need? Maybe? Maybe a swing OT? I have no idea, but there are a decent number of prospects this year (and next) so we'll likely quietly looking over them in case they fall to a place of extreme value. For those that aren't familiar with my process, I track players through their entire college career. I do not have access to anything beyond what announcers may say, and mosby alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
I do. In a normal class he'd be WR1. Most years. I'd likely put him over Jamar chase and Justin Jefferson. He tests and plays even with Larry Fitzgerald but actually plays faster. We met extensively with him. He stayed after at the combine because he wasn't happy with his 3 cone time (it was a crazy 6.8, but he had been getting 6.6 at home) ... So you have a team first highby alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
Yeah if we don't trade up I assume we trade down for an extra second or 3rd ... 2nd will have a ton of talent ... 3rd and you're getting to the great values among second tier talents like Brendan Rice, McCaffrey, Burton, Jalen McMillan. All of whom would work. Can play outside or inside and are physical.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
I was hoping Mitchell would remain below Worthy ... but it seems many consider him the outright 5th. Some suggested him above Brian Thomas. I've drafts with a run on WR where someone trades up with us and takes him at 18. In my opinion 7 WRs "should" go in round one. I hope they don't.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
Gould from oregon state is the guy you're looking for there ... along with Ainias Smith from A and M. Can fly, fearless ... protects the football. He could be around 5th and 6th. Philip Brooks from K State and Morin from WAKE should both go undrafted.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
And a note ... I have Nabers as Beckham/chase. Harrison as Julio Jones. Odunze as Larry Fitzgerald. Thomas I don't have a real comp for. He's still developing. But he's a mix of Metcalf and Justin Jefferson as is.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
If he's there at 19 he's a steal. If we traded up to 15, still a steal. I think we like odunze enough to trade up to 8 or 9 but Thomas is still a top 5 talent stuck behind 3 top 3 talents at the position.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
I agree ... seems more likely in a trade down or up in the 4th ... BUT a 4.7 40 in Indy just shows he's not going to run away from anyone. Maybe he makes the 5th. Still think we'd trade up to secure him. He's more valuable to us than most ... same college blocking scheme.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
This class was as ugly as next year's will be bright. In fact, I'm going to list the RBs for next year so you all don't wonder why I don't have a RB in the top 2 rounds. These are guys that could all threaten for the #1 spot this year.

This is a hot one, so I wanted to give everyone plenty of time with it. For those that aren't familiar with my process, I track players through their entire college career. I do not have access to anything beyond what announcers may say, and mostly I'm watching for specific skillsets that are valuable to me. These change over time, but not by a lot. My actual process of watching film has grownby alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
I think they're hot on odunze. I am too. Kid has the right mentality. Nabers and Harrison will get taken by pick 6. Alt goes to Tennessee simply because it's an autopick. The first 7 picks are pretty locked in. Either AZ or SD will trade out. My guess is AZ with SD and NY taking a WR. If AZ takes the WR then SD trades out because they need a TE or ORT and can get a WR later. So Atlanta iby alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
I mean... it would be weird but everything else has been written lol. That said, I'm a fan of this kid. He's a target for me in that range and he could be a total steal. I like Maryland and Pitt DBs because I trust the coaching and recruiting.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
I'm into my grading ... Not done but started. I have 9 top ten grades just on offense without fuaga, bowers, or mccarthy. Fuaga and bowers just miss. I have 3 on defense. We're gonna be really close to a top ten talent and we're not going to draft this high for a while. I don't know if they want OT or WR, but I'm betting they take their shot. If it's me I'm trading next yeby alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
Big thing Im seeing this year is that the combine couldn't fit all the needed WRs ... and RBs oddly enough. The Yale kid ... I have nothing on him since he was down in the postseason ... so I'll basically be stealing your ranking. lolby alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
Just busy finishing up my lists for the offensive side of the ball.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
McClellan and Marshawn Lloyd are the same guy to me. McClellan ran a 4.71 40 ... jumped poorly ... but he was coming off a foot injury. He could not have been training for any of that at the level needed. He may fall to the 6th or 7th, even go undrafted. If I had to choose straight up ... I'd choose Lloyd. If I had to choose Lloyd in the 3rd vs McClellan undrafted I'll consider McClellan aby alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
If I'm the Bears in this draft, I trade down a bit and land an OT ... take the extra picks and lock in a young WR in round 2 or 3 to learn behind Allen, then focus on D. I'd trade up for any of the top 4 WRs. They're all top 5 talent in my opinion on a regular year.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com

Thanks for the pff grade ... I like having those ... Kinda what I saw? I think I have him early to late 4th. Definitely better against the run. Got beat in coverage at the senior bowl a bit. Athletic enough. If I had known the pff grade I might have moved him higher ... but in truth this class isn't that great. The best safeties are still in school.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
