Do they have any #2's? Woods hasn't proven anything and Austin has proven to not be a #2 at this point.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
I agree with everything you said with the exception of an Edge player coming off the table. Barwin was a one year signing. If they don’t trade Tru, they’re in the same position with both players. It also seems that a defensive player may be BPA at that point in the draft. Just more good D players overall when compared with offense. So my best guess is the same as yours but add DE/Edge.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com

It’s partly b/c Hav doesn’t have the feet to be a tackle. GRob does. They’re trying to solve a couple of issues at the same time. And it doesn’t matter. I seriously doubt GRob is on the team after this season.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRampage2K- Snead pretty much said that with what he said about Rob playing inside..... Not only does GRob lack the mental ability to play guard, but I suspect their plan is born partly b/c of Havenstein's struggles with speed rushers. This was called a few months ago by dodgerram. Maybe RT for him (GRob)?by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteFlipper336 I hate being the Kupp negative Nellie because I'm honestly a big fan of him...in his role as a slot WR. No one talks about him vs press coverage. Why? Because he is protected from it based on his teams scheme and almost exclusive use in the slot. Watch him on 90+% of his catches...free release and simply runs to a spot. Defender never even breathes in his direction. I have nevby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotealyoshamucci If you draft a 4th round WR in the 2nd round ... he's still a 4th round WR. The difference between Juju Smith and Josh Reynolds or Taywan Taylor is zero for me. In THIS draft... Juju grades out as a 3rd or 4th rounder ... Basically around top 80-100. Engram at TE grades out top 30. Everett at TE grades out top 50.

Quotezn QuoteI know it's a deep draft but odds are odds. One disagreement. In a draft this deep the odds are different. Odds are of course averages.

Quoteoldmanram Looking at that 37 slot there possibly will be some solid DB's that would be tough to pass up.

QuoteDeadpool on like say year 2 or 3? Just asking because it could take some of these guys a year or 3 to develop. I’d pass on a guy who’s gonna take three years to develop.

I’d define good as starting WRs that will be very productive in the right system. A none scrub. It doesn’t have to be a #1 type IMO; #2 WRs can also be labeled good. Your description of Godwin and Kupp thriving in a system fit my definition of good. I interpreted Alyo’s statement to say that all of the WRs but the top 2 would be scrubs and not worth a pick. Maybe I misunderstood.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteCraigMatson I think it's unlikely either Smith Schuster or. Kupp will be there at 69 but I think it worth a gamble vs a slight overdraft of either of those two at 37. I think you are right in guessing the range many of the WRs will go. I believe the above applies to several of the receivers not just Schuster or Kupp. Unless someone majorly slides, it seems most of them will be overdraftedby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
Except the numbers say Stewart is quicker and faster. A 4.49 40 vs. a 4.66. And much more explosion in the vertical and broad jump. Are you saying there’s no room for a more athletic Cooper? And I could be wrong but I thought that Cooper was relegated more to the slot than Stewart.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com

Why doesn’t Easley fit your definition of the speed-rushing, highly agile end who’s bigger than the outside backer? Easley being a Donald clone is a great speed-rusher and is highly agile.
