Just insane how quick they are...needed to be said. That is all.by Flipper336 - RamsFootballFans.com
I certainly have no problem with it. The Titans are in a weird spot in the draft that I could easily see it. Lattimore seems perfect at 5 and mid-first is where I feel CBs should start falling after Lattimore.by Flipper336 - RamsFootballFans.com
Watching the combine and tons of down time between drills so.... 2. EDGE - Derek Rivers, Youngstown State - He was a monster vs his competition and his skillset translates to the NFL. Big, explosive, long, with exceptional ability to bend and flatten as an edge rusher. Wasn't asked to cover often but actually very comfortable and smooth in his drop when he did.

Quotedzrams So do you disagree in general that there are a lot of first round caliber CBs that will be available in the 2nd round due to the quality and depth of this years CB class? Never said I disagree that there is depth at the CB positionby Flipper336 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteLMU93 Just a random draft question- CBs Tankersley or Conley worth #37 overall? I like their size and experience. I lean Tankersley. Unsure of their intangibles (positive or negative). Certainly not in this draft. I wouldn't spend time arguing the "grade" in that range but I don't like the value. They are two guys I struggle with.

Quoteleafnose Kiper on the Clemson WR and the importance of his combine. thought it intriguing that Williams could slide with a bad outing. BTW, word is that Corey Davis won't do the combine? minor concern, but this a kid you'd want to interview. smaller school. lot of tape, but again small school. Peppers. swiss army knife on defense, gadget guy, or a man without a spot? some uncertaintyby Flipper336 - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotealyoshamucci Thanks Flip that was awesome. My schedule doesn't allow for smaller schools now except on rare occasions. So that stuff is super helpful.

Quoteleafnose every year is an amazing trek of players you draft guys offer up that make for such fun. sometimes I'm happy that I know a few, and feel great when they play as well as I perceive them to be.

QuoteRamBum So who looks good from our second 4th round pick on down?? I don't really see a way he drops that far but he's the only QB I have seen worth a pick that is even a slight possibility in that range. 6'4 230 pounds, good runner but has patience in the pocket. Very good PASSER, shoes touch to all levels...doesn't just THROW everything with heat. Picked Virginia Tech's offense quicklyby Flipper336 - RamsFootballFans.com
Not a fan of buying a dynasty. Don't like when certain markets have no chance to compete because there is no salary cap, but when the dynasty is in Foxbourogh MA and they are constantly maneuvering salaries and players I think it's a good thing. It makes the game better because the championship standard is higher. Teams have to EARN the right to call themselves championsby Flipper336 - RamsFootballFans.com
Not saying Kupp's hype isn't justified, just thinking he's less likely to be there where fans want to get him. Was watching Davis Webb and realized Hansen is the the big prize on Cal. May not be as quick as Kupp but he looks bigger and a bit more physical....looks better vs press because of it. His body control is crazy and is a legit deep threat.by Flipper336 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSpeed_Kills And because they had Matt Ryan pulling the trigger. NE was geared to stop the run and did on the previous play for the very reason you say the Falcons should have run They went with Ryan and when you have a Ryan you can do what the Falcons did and normally the QB does not take a sack on a play where he could have simply thrown the ball away If the Falcons had Rex Grossmanby Flipper336 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteThe_Bad_Guy In fact, if Lombardi had a flaw, it was in the area of player acquisition. With some notable exceptions - Bobby Jeter; Herb Adderley; Dave Robinson; Donny Anderson - the vast majority of the talent he led to five world titles was already in Green Bay when he got there. His record as a GM was, at best, spotty. His drafting was rather poor, in fact. Lombardi's strengths are aby Flipper336 - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteLMU93 Sorry. Once the Rams are awarded a 3rd round comp. pick for Jenkins then pick #69 remains with the Rams. Right now it's projected the Rams get comp. picks for Jenkins (3rd round), McLeod (4th) and Fairley (6th). So Rams picks in the top 4 rounds will be #s 37, 69 and (roughly) 110 and 141.
