Could be, but overpaying has become a troubling pattern for Les in recent years. And I suspect other teams know it and take advantage of it.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteClassicalwit Why did the Rams have to give up next year's number two in addition to swapping this year's number two plus a draft pick? Seems like a 3rd next year should have worked. Based on most of the trading charts, it should've been a 3. But Les never met a trade he wasn't willing to overpay for.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
Bring back Lucas Havrisik! Er, uh, on second thought...by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteDavid Deacon He toned it down and has done something with his hair. Yeah, he's lost it. lolby JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
It could be that they planned to try a move up for Bowers, and then spend much of their next few picks on D. But after Bowers didn't work out, they stuck with their D-heavy plan after round one. I find it hard to believe they intended to draft exclusively defense with all of their high choices going into the draft.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com

Very impressive kid.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteScRAM You said you've been here since 98, did you come from the old Post Dispatch board? (when they turned it red) I was there too. And, yeah, it's very unusual to see such widespread approval of a draft. I absolutely love that they are putting so many resources into the lines.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteValley-Ram Dang near everyone on this board was as happy with the picks as this year's draft? I have been reading this board since 1998 (in another incarnation) and I don't think I have ever seen this much happiness about a Rams draft! That's because the fans have been screaming for the team to put resources into the lines and the Rams have been doing that in spades the last two years.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
Charles Davis said, with conviction, that Kinchens is going to be a pro-bowler. Hope he's right.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteDeadpool Absolutely love this kid. Got lost with AD Mitchell and X. Worthy and Ja'tavion Sanders, but this kid admits that he loves doing all the dirty work to help a team win. STs, run blocking, blocking downfield for WRs and backs. Not scared to go over the middle of the field. He is literally a WE not Me WR, which in this day and age is rare. I knew the Rams would love him. Hoby JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
Just heard on the Yahoo stream that he had a 36.5" vertical, which was a record of some kind. They also mentioned the 39 reps on the bench, but think he needs to put on 15 more pounds.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
Beaux Limmer Arkansas 809 75.7 I thought he got bullied at the Senior Bowl a bit. He had a better showing here (combine). This is the memorial Logan Bruss pick. ;)by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
Deadpool: 160. Jordan Whittington - WR - Texas - 6'-1" 205 lbs. - Physical before and after the catch. Good run blocker and could be a monster on STs with the new rules. Lacks route running and HR gear. Alyo: Jordan Whittington Texas 557 65.4 Wish he'd tested just because I was curious. Love his game, likely the person you'd least want to tackle in this class. Special teams monsterby JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
They focused on the O line in FA and the D line in the draft. I love it -- I believe in the adage that games are won in the trenches and I think McVay finally believes it too.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
Six straight defensive players and zero picks on offense. He must getting hives. lolby JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteDeadpool Had him #112 overall on my Big Board. So a solid 4th round grade. He was 1st team all ACC 3 years running, as a freshman was 2nd team, injuries kept him from making honors his soph year (Orhorhoro was 3rd team) He was a team captain He is quick off the snap Can eat double teams relentless motor Crazy strength That kind of praise definitely warms my heart. :thumbby JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
Deadpool: 91. Tyler Davis - IDL - Clemson - 6'-2" 301 lbs. - Explosive NT with powerful hands and a good understanding of leverage. Pass rush needs refinement. Alyo: Tyler Davis Clemson 474 85.5 1.68 split. 5.02 40. Strong. And note the PFF grade. I thought he moved really well. If I had to choose I'd try to take him in the 4th ... I don't think he makes the 5th in his class.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
"Brennan Jackson Washington State 614 82.4 6-4 264 ... 4.69 with a 1.62 split. This is another sleeper for me. He can wreck things and he may last till the 5th. I also like him moving any direction."by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
Curious what Deadpool thinks -- Jackson wasn't on his list at all.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
Awesome. Too bad Verse didn't get there a couple minutes earlier -- would've been cool to have him make the call himself.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSpeed_Kills not sure what was going on with Snead but he didn’t seem very coherent .. he was off for sure Snead is incoherent on a good day. But he acknowledged several times in that interview that he was "fried," presumably from having no sleep in the last few days.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
64. Kamren Kinchens - SAF - Miami - 5'-11" 203 lbs. - Turnover machine, brings it when in the box. Not the rangiest SAF in the class.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
Love the player and the aggressiveness. Hate the price. Way too much. The Panthers must've decided that the next time Snead comes calling begging to be fleeced, they won't say no.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
Really good observation. I'd love to know the moment McVay had his epiphany, realizing that his strategy of relying on small, agile interior linemen was not going to get this team past the 49ers. He suddenly did a complete 180, going all out to beef up the interior, to the great joy and relief of so many here.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
They have needs everywhere -- probably trying to collect picks.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
Yep -- the player that just about everybody has been projecting.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
