on new rims I saw in the tire store showroom. That's a win-win. And yes, I have actually done that, as has my fiance lol. it's called the cake and eat it too scenario. Or in this case, trade up and get Odunze, grab a stud edge defender in round 2.by Deadpool - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotesince68 Thank you for all your work. It is an awesome list. Assuming Caleb, Maye, Daniels, JJ, Alt, MH Jr, Odunze, Bowers and Malik have been taken . . . . . . and you are going to trade up to #10, name the top 3 players you would go after . . . or would you stay & pick at 19 . . . or trade back? So the top 4 QBs, top 3 WRs, top TE and Top LT are gone, I'd probably stay put or a sby Deadpool - RamsFootballFans.com
I am pretty much in the middle of everything farm related right now, so this might be my last bit of "cough" wisdom "cough" I'll go in order by round unless I forget something. 1. First Round a) I believe the Rams should go defense, and specifically an EDGE defender. My #1 is Latu on my board and he makes the most sense. My worse case scenario is Latu, Turner and Versby Deadpool - RamsFootballFans.com

He's a big back, but not physical. Secondly, I question his instincts or vision. 1 of those things is off. Lastly, I have Akers PTSD. lol He has breakaway speed, excellent balance and good patience. He is still a good back in a OK at best class, I just didn't feel he was a Rams fit. So the Rams probably draft him in round 3.by Deadpool - RamsFootballFans.com
Go watch the Auburn v Georgia game this year. No Bowers, no Georgia win. And AU has 2 DBs and a Safety in the draft. He can absolutely wreck a defensive game plan. Kyle Pitts comes close, but its Bowers in the end. He also at least tries to block, Pitts was or never will be a blocker IMO.by Deadpool - RamsFootballFans.com
Latu gives off TJ Watt vibes. Now I'm not saying he is TJ Watt, but athletically they compare almost identically. 2nd, Latu's advanced pass rush moves gives him an immediate advantage over every edge in the class. College OL had no idea what was going to happen next, they were on the defensive constantly. Lastly, look at Verse's season, like really look at it. He played 13 games last yearby Deadpool - RamsFootballFans.com
Xavier Legette tops the group, he is a great KR, but I think he goes at the top of the 2nd, so a trade up scenario. He is a #2 with #1 potential as well with great size and physicality. Rumor has it Carolina promised to take him at 33. So yeah... Ainias Smith and Malik Washington are in that draft range you like (3rd round) and are both excellent returners, but are smaller in stature and not #by Deadpool - RamsFootballFans.com
some posters wanted this board and I thought I would give it a shot. Basically what happens with an NFL stacked draft board, scouts,coaches and the FO get together and go through players and 1st stack them by position (which I did) then overall regardless of position (which I also did) then they shave off names that don't fit. Then they stack according to need and depth of class and obviously talby Deadpool - RamsFootballFans.com
No holes list top to the bottom. We are in agreement throughout this list. Great job.by Deadpool - RamsFootballFans.com
I do like your placement of everyone though. I feel its harder to do when you feel like you should have someone in the top 64. I don't think position rankings matter much, because teams are going to draft for fit, and not because player X is head and shoulders above the other prospects. Tyrone Tracy is a guy that I looked at late and really like on day 3, McClellen and Estime are fits asby Deadpool - RamsFootballFans.com
A few guys that will be interesting to watch: AD Mitchell - Rumors are he has diabetes and is not good at managing it, he is also rumored to be uncoachable. Does that drop him? Add in the fact that there is plenty of film with him taking plays off and I imagine he is off the Rams board. Jermaine Burton - Another guy I am hearing has serious off the field issues. He will almost certainly notby Deadpool - RamsFootballFans.com
I love that you have Zack Frazier in the 3rd to 4th round. Everyone but the 2 of us have him locked into round 2. I just don't know what I am missing with this guy. But at least when we are wrong, we can be wrong together. LOLby Deadpool - RamsFootballFans.com
Fautanu - I believe he can be an OT in the NFL. He is right on the bubble length wise, but his 34.5" arms meet most teams threshold of 34". He is the one OL I just can't get out of my head when the Rams draft. Latham doesn't make sense, Fashanu does to some extent and Alt is long gone. Fuaga is 2" taller than Fautanu but his arms are over 1" shorter, so to me, Fuaga isby Deadpool - RamsFootballFans.com
I'm not sold the Rams aren't going to draft a TE at some point. I'm thinking day 3 though. Holker is becoming my favorite fit for the Rams. Interesting you have Bowers outside the top 10. I think he is a better blocker than he gets credit for. In general, not saying you personally. I wish I had an argument, but its just a really solid, deep list. I see you have Joey Gatewood on yourby Deadpool - RamsFootballFans.com
No one has asked me anything remotely close to this. He is such a game manager, and is that Oregon's offense? yeah, its a gimmicky offense that has no basis in the NFL, so its hard to project him out. He has, what I would call, an adequate arm. He's a leader and his teammates love him. But what has he won? McVay likes to push the ball down the field and not have a QB that is check down Chby Deadpool - RamsFootballFans.com
He is still undersized. That said, he has football dna in his blood, he has a great motor, highly productive, good length for 6'-2" and a red hot motor. That said, I really like him, there is just something about Utah guys. If the Rams go WR or OT in the 1st, Ellis is on a short list of wants at EDGE.by Deadpool - RamsFootballFans.com

Pass Rush grade 98th percentile Pass rush grade on true pass rushes 91st percentile pass rush win percentage 96th percentile Pass rush grade w/o play action 100th percentile Those numbers are insane.

The Rams are usually looking at least 1 year ahead when they draft. When you look at the WR contracts, they get really thin after this season Cooper Kupp - signed thru 2026, but 1 more injury plagued year and he could be cut, regardless he is a restructure after the season Puka Nacua - also signed thru 2026, he really shouldnt be going anywhere Demarcus Robinson - signed thru 2024, FA next yby Deadpool - RamsFootballFans.com
These are my final positional rankings. Some of these guys could end up on 2 lists (S/CB or DL/EDGE/LB) I put this is in a separate post from my Big Board to make it easier to ask and answer questions, but if the admins want to join them, I do not care. I will put my own thoughts under each position as far as depth and what I think of some of the prospects. And just for R2K, I will throwby Deadpool - RamsFootballFans.com

Quotesince68 ". . . RB is just not exciting, I'm sure a starter or 2 will emerge but good luck predicting which 2. If Corum played injured all season like I have heard may be the case, he might be a steal. " I agree with you on Corum. I hope the Rams get him. Where do you think Vaki fits as a RB.

He works hard on the field. Gave me some Puka vibes watching him. And yes, we are talking about 2025 draft right now. :laughingby Deadpool - RamsFootballFans.com
are you saying no one should draft a QB in round 1? Or only the consensus #1 QB should be drafted in the first round? Or the top 2? So then all the 1st round graded QBs that get pushed to the 2nd round are just 2nd round busts instead of 1st round busts. The team that drafted them in the 2nd round may or may not have hit on their 1st round pick, but they still stink because that 2nd rounby Deadpool - RamsFootballFans.com

Because outside of Brady, the vast majority of SB winning QBs are 1st rounders. Going back to 1999, the only non-first round SB WINNING QBs are: Warner (1) Brady (7) Brad Johnson (1) Russell Wilson (1) Nick Foles (1) (although an argument can be made that 1st rounder Wentz got them there) Brees (33rd pick, just out of 1st round) (1) So 26 years and 6 QBs. 1st round QBs; Elway (1)by Deadpool - RamsFootballFans.com
In no real order: 1. Rome Odunze - WR - Wash. - 6'-3" 212 lbs. - A playmaker with good size and speed for the position, he's a constested catch monster. Bigtime redzone threat. His RAS score was 9.92 and 2nd best among WRs It would take a massive trade up to secure him, but he is that big contested catch WR the Rams have been searching for. He is an excellent route runner, strongby Deadpool - RamsFootballFans.com

He's is fast, and likes to thump ball carriers, but he doesn't wrap up and goes for a kill shot. I also thought he was a bit stiff. Everyone likes hos athleticism, but his short shuttle and 3 cone says he isn't as athletic as they think. 3 ints in one season, zero the other 4. He plays the man, not the ball.
