Quote21Dog Injury prone, too. This going back to his days at LSU. No thanks. So 1152 rushing yards and over 500 passing yards is underachieving? What is your expectation? And 2 of his 3 years have been fully healthy. I think you got to have more to say he's injury-prone.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRams43 I’ve seen 4th or 5th rounder suggested as compensation elsewhere. I dunno. For something in that range I would do it because, as you stated above, if they don't sign him after the season, they would get a comp pick for him in 2022. Probably in the 4th range if he has a big season.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
On the one hand I would love to have him over a rookie draft pick. But what type of pick would he cost? The bigger issue is the upcoming contract. It seems the Rams are wanting to move to a model where they don't have a ton of money invested in the RB. Snead talked about being burned after Gurley's situation. So I question whether they would want to sign him long term. And if they havby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
Quoterampage666 Higgins has an inch plus per side in wingspan but Pittman has a 5+in vertical advantage. Given Higgins had Lawrence throwing him the ball and Pittman had....in my mind its a wash--they are both excellent jump ball types. Maybe Pittman isnt the deep threat and that becomes Everett, but Pittman could be deadly on the out/post combo that Cooks ran. Pittman will be able to just blby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRampage2K- Quotedzrams They don't have a deep threat WR on the roster so that's now the most acute need. After that, I'm looking at Edge. 52 - Aiyuk/Higgins/Shenault 57 - Baun / Okwara / Uche But this is all assuming they stand pat. I believe they'll trade down with one of their 2nds. Just a hunch, but I don't think Higgins makes it past round 1 and Shenault has been getting someby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
Quoterampage666 You wouldnt take Pittman dz? I've become a believer the last couple of weeks that he could stretch the field--well maybe hoping hahaha. I'm going to take another look at him because I just saw your breakdown on him and Alyo believes he'd fill the deep-threat role too, but I had dismissed him previously because I didn't feel he'd be a fit for that role.

QuotePHDram i kinda agree that there are no "strong" needs which is how snead always wants to approach a draft in order to promote flexibility.

QuotePHDram maybe im wrong, but i just dont think the rams see an ilb as a strong need. im not saying they wont draft one but im not sure they would do it in the second round.

QuoteRamBum Haven't seen too much conversation on our safety situation. We have 2 very good starters, but not sure who our 3rd safety is. And with Johnson being a free agent after this year, I think it's a pretty high priority. I have a FS type pretty high on my list of what I think they'll be looking for.

I hope you're right on Corbett. He's just meh to me. If Hav wins the RT job, maybe Evans beats out Corbett. We'll see... It seems I'm much higher on some of these IOL draft prospects than you are. Specifically, in addition to Ruiz, Hennessey, Cushenberry, Jonah Jackson, and Robert Hunt are players that I feel could step in and play at a high level day 1.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteEkern55 I’m using . I have had some luck in getting trades approved. I don’t the the point system memorized by any means, but I have a sense. I think at 57 I was being too aggressive and that’s where I got the door shut on me. But I think the Rams can get a good return on 52. I’ve had better luck at that spot.

QuoteDeadpool plus before Bowden was pressed into QB duties, he lead the team in catches, rec. yards and rec TDs. He is a natural pass catcher. And the bulldog in him makes him a perfect candidate to do the dirty work from the slot. As an added bonus, he can take jet sweeps and even throw the ball. That's fine with Bowden being a natural pass catcher. I've just been really impressed from what Iby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
I'm always one of the ones cautioning about putting too much hope into immediate dividends from draft picks. Most don't produce a ton in their rookie seasons. That said, I do feel there are more spots or a greater chance for starters than what you have here. Here's my list: Blythe - Ruiz for sure and IMO Hennessey, Cushenberry, and maybe Biadasz could potentially start over Blythe. If theby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteEkern55 I’ve been obsessed with running the draft simulator that has been kindly posted. Rams can get value trading #52. Trying to trade #57 on those simulations is more of a challenge.

QuoteDeadpool and again, I haven't done a ton on Bowden. Although what I have seen is impressive. I think he ultimately ends up as a slot WR in the NFL. His size, along with his skill set seem to be pointing him in that direction. I think he can take some reps in the backfield and maybe as a wildcat type. But his bread and butter will be inside.

Great work! Thanks! A couple of questions... Lynn Bowden - What role do you see him playing in the NFL? Is he a deep threat? Could he play RB? Shenault, Aiyuk, Mims, Raeger - What is it about these guys that you're not targeting them? John Hightower - I like him and think he'd fit the Cooks role. I've seen him going in the 5th in most boards.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com

You say Jonah Jackson can play anywhere inside? Do you think the Rams could draft him for the center position?by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
Where is the deep threat? McVay has stated that his offense is designed to stress the defense by having a threat in every area of the field both vertically and horizontally. A deep threat is a necessity. Who on the roster fills that role?

QuoteDaJudge ...the Rams don't seem to think WR is a big need spot. I like a lot of the names on that list. Other thing to keep in mind, in years past it's been the top 30 visits that were the most telling on which positions they would draft and what range. This year with the virus, there are no top 30 visits and although we've heard of a few facetime interviews, they have an unlimited numbeby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteDaJudge ...really think the Rams just decided at the last minute that Cooks was going elsewhere? They've been trying to move him longer than any of us know. WR isn't a high priority for this team. Oh, I think they wanted to trade him but I'm skeptical the trade market was so robust that they knew that they could get something worthwhile for him.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
