They are trading the pick. Up or down, doesn’t matter. Most likely down but the main thing is, they’re not picking at 37. Snead will be Snead. That’s my shot.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteLMU93 I see what you're saying. I just lean toward bolstering 2017 as much as they can. McVay needs some immediate ROI. In 2018 they have all their draft picks and a lot of cap room so I'm less concerned about next year. I like what they've done overall in free agency but think they need 2-3 immediate contributors from this draft class. And it's very good at positions they need (WR, TE,by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
Bradley, Thomas, Cooper, Spruce, McRoberts, Shippen, and North were all rookies last year but they also were all late round draftees or UDFAs. That indicates limited talent and ceiling. It’s no guarantee that that is the case, but it is the odds. To be honest, I think we’re expecting too much from those guys. That’s why I feel a more talented draftee could come in and immediately supplantby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
This draft did a modest trade down to 43 and picked up a late 3rd round pick. Still ended up with some top D talent. 2-43 - Edge, Tyus Bowser 3-69 - TE, Bucky Hodges 3-99 - WR, Juju Smith 4-112 - CB, Rasul Douglas 4-141 - WR, Dede Westbrookby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotezn QuoteRampage2K- QuoteTonyHunter87 Snead gets a pass? He traded a 2nd Rd pick to move up for Austin. We know how that's turned out. He picked Robinson #2 overall and we know how that has turned out. Then he traded a boat load of picks for Goff, one of which is a top 5 pick. Although the jury is still out on him, he would have to be a perennial all pro to be worth what they gave up. Fisheby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteFlorida_Ram Personally, I hope that they all agree the offense is a much bigger need and that they will come to a consensus agreement that they should seek a few trade partners to move down from #37 to the (47 middle 50's) range and pick up another 4th rounder. If they're able to trade back some spots with #37 they could maybe trade back up with their ammo and end up with 2 selections inby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteFlorida_Ram I have to say I'm in a totally different boat of thinking. I'm willing to put most of my chips on the table that with the new acquisitions of... Kayvon Webster and now the scrappy little smurf Nickell Robey-Coleman combined with the hyped up depth at the cornerback position in the 2017 Draft, the Rams will probably be drafting OFFENSE at #37. If cornerback talent is as deepby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteLMU93 Nice signing but in my opinion it changes nothing for the Draft. If a CB is the best value at 37 or 69 among their top 5-6 needs then take him. Assuming Robey-Coleman's deal is just one year the only CB they have among their top 5 under contract in 2018 is Webster. It could change the likelihood of drafting 2 CBs or a FS. They had been looking at FS so that may change. It’s a strby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
Out of those 15 players, the only four I feel will potentially do something significant this year is Woods, Austin, Cooper, and Higbee. The rest are pretty much garbage IMO.

More and more I’d be surprised if they don’t trade down. Absent a trade down though, I agree with you. It’s gonna be a D player at 37. Engram may intrigue McVay but this is also a deep TE class. There are too many others that are nearly his equal that will be available later. Only 3 TEs in the top 50 with 2 in the 1st reflects that. I see them making a choice between a 1st round caliber Dby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteDeadpool I have Tankersley as a 3rd round corner. He is just too grabby for my taste. Switch Jordan Willis where Watt is and give Pitt a LBer and that is all I would say.

I agree that they will likely address center with a late round draftee now. There’s a chance it was already going to be a late draft pick judging by who their scouting. Max Halpin, Chase Roullier. Both are 6th round to UDFA types.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteRockRam It is clear from your posts that you like the idea of trading up and back and especially back in this draft. I will say this much: I don't think the Rams have had a draft with Snead that he didn't make at least one trade and usually he moved around more. Sometimes up, sometimes back. So it is probably reasonable to expect the same. But.....how much of that was influencedby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
Board mob mentality happens all the time. It's starting to appear that way with Engram. No need to apologize... What I would like to see is a breakdown and comparison by some knowledgeable people of all of the TE's. For the life of me, I can't see what makes Engram so superior to Shaheen and Bucky Hodges. Both of those guys are also super athletic with 20-40 pounds more.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
Quoteden-the-coach Just going by the free agents that have been signed so far, but they seem like team leader types like Whitworth, Barwin & Woods for example and I have nothing against Stewart and you're correct with only a hiccup, but when you read about Kupp that fall in line with the free agents IMHO.

He probably signed a very short term contract for low salary. If so, that won't equate to much in the comp pick algorithm. Also, what we lose in free agency is offset by what we gain. So far, we've gained much more than we've lost.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
