QuoteRams43 Jourdan Rodrigue @JourdanRodrigue On Ernest Jones, Snead says Rams loved his spatial awareness, loved his instincts on tape and knack for finding the ball, liked his long arms as a blitzer, and said he was one of the top players rated on their “potential leader” board.

QuoteRams43 Big Whit will retire and Rams must choose one of extending Boom (assuming his run blocking has improved sufficiently), an expensive FA, or a premium draft pick. Pick one.

QuotePHDram i mentioned it a few other times. in fact i think they may have been targeting little in the second. snead said something about a linemen they liked being taken about 15 spots before their pick. it just a guess on my part but i think that guy was little. in terms of center, imo its not as big of an issue. if they wanted to they had the option to draft a number of good centers.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
QuotePHDram It's because they liked Brewer and Anchrum etc that they CHOOSE to not select oline rather then these guys must step up because they IGNORED the oline. The 1 exception to that is lt.

Tutu Atwell, WR - He'll get a good amount of snaps this year. McVay will try hard to work him in. If DJ gets injured, he'll get significant snaps. Ernest Jones, LB - He will start over Kiser. I'm getting the Jordan Fuller and Cooper Kupp vibe on him. They like what the GPS data reflects despite the lackluster traditional measurables. In addition, they targeted him as one of the best leaders aby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteDaJudge ...seemed like the guy was finally finding his footing in the NFL and living up to his draft position. We shall see. Every proposed move now is written in pencil. If they try him there and he bombs or if there is no one to take his RG spot to the point that it would be better to start Allen, then they would move him back.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
The way you phrase it supports my point. Tutu's 4.26 is "mythical" but it seems you believe Schwartz's 4.26 and Rondale Moore's 4.29 because you didn't label them with a dismissive qualifier. Look, Atwell has been clocked in the low 4.3s many times. Last year (2020) he was clocked at 4.27. This year it's 4.32. A .05 variance is normal. At this point, you probably should stop beingby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com

Quotenicecatchellard How many guys have run 4.26? And pro days are almost always faster than combine numbers. I will give you a hint you can count them using only one hand. It seems silly to me to discount Atwell's speed because very few people have run in the 4.2s before. Henry Ruggs ran a 4.27 at the combine last year. Someone runs in the 4.2s nearly every year at the Combine. What I thinby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotenicecatchellard Quotedzrams I've seen the 4.26 speed from several sources. That's really not hard to believe since he officially clocked at 4.32 on his pro day.

It could be the Rams. I think we need to wait the recommended 3 years. How would anyone know right now? For the Rams draft it seems it comes down to Tutu.

QuoteLeoram Agreed. Even if the rooks didn't play, they could be developed into long term upgrades. Their OL is in a strange kind of situation.

QuoteClassicalwit If your team was so good that it had no needs, you wouldn't need many players so why wouldn't you have traded picks to move up and take only one or two of the BPAs?

QuoteOzRam Tutu, just seemed like a bit of a forced pick, like he was the only one that could work for them! I suspect Eskridge could have worked for them too since they spent a bit of time with him but he had just been selected the previous pick. Maybe they didn't want to risk missing out on both.
