QuoteSoCalRAMatic Not sure McSnead wanted him. Absolutely could've moved up a few slots if he was the target. Must have someone else in their sights.[/quote Who knows? But I think he really, really would have helped the Rams. Wanted them to take him in the Third. Freakishly athletic, and classic height, weight guy for an edge. Young, too.

Reason I ask for in-season, is, cuz, well, I'm a picky so and so, and it's relevant, IMO. Not his age now. As in, again, to be crazy picky, Cooks is 24 now. But his in-season age is 25 for 2018. Anyway . . . the reason this is important, at least to me? If he's a "developmental"guy, then being 24 as a rook isn't as good as being 21 -- like Gurley was, for instance.

QuoteRamkind I agree with what you are saying. I wonder what everyone would be saying if they grabbed Barkley at 1, Chubb at 4 and then they were the ones who traded back into the first to take Lamar Jackson. I didn't think of that. That's sounds even better than what I posted. Well done.by Billy_T - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotemerlin No way of really knowing what teams have in his record wrt the medical stuff, so don't get too angry if you see us pass on him tonight. That's a good point. It's a kinda Catch-22 situation. It might just be that the only way the Rams can draft him is if his medicals aren't good enough for him to go earlier. Who knows?

Just my opinion, folks. Disagree if you must. Better yet, shower this thread with praise!! :worthy Even if you're in love with a player, you don't take him with the first pick in the draft if it's very, very likely he's still there much later -- especially if you have another pick a few spots after that. That other pick all but guarantees you'll be able to draft him anyway. Instead, yoby Billy_T - RamsFootballFans.com

If he's there when they draft at #87 -- he may not be -- and they don't take him? Man, I'm gonna throw my beer at the TV. (Not really.

QuoteDeadpool 2012 - Jenkins was the best pick. Johnson would have been 3rd or 4th best behind JJ, Brockers and maybe even The Leg in the 6th round.

QuoteRockRam This guy has the chance to be a star player at Edge Rusher. Tremendous measurables; described as having Clowney/Donald type talent.

No doubt is behind on technique but who better to teach it to him than Wade's staff. So if Snead wants to take a rby Billy_T - RamsFootballFans.com

Quotereggae That would take Brockers, TA and a 4th. Are you willing to do that? My guess is, no team with a top ten pick would take that deal. Mocks are filled with flaws, of course, but most of them have Edmunds going eight or nine. Have seen only one with him outside the top ten, and that was #13. That said, I like Brockers.
