If you listened to the Rams press conference right after they drafted Simpson, McVay referred to pick #13 as an extra pick. He said they were going to take TE Ferguson with their 1st round pick anyway and ended up getting him in the 2nd round, while picking up #13 in 2026. He and Snead looked at that #13 pick as a bonus pick, so why not see if you can possibly get your future QB with that pick?by PaulButcher59 - RamsFootballFans.com
Sam Leavitt will be an interesting guy to watch now playing in the SEC with Lane Kiffin. Leavitt is one of those guys that has an IT factor to him. Minnesota QB Drake Lindsey has been another QB that is drawing some 1st round consideration from scouts. College will be fun to watch this coming season.by PaulButcher59 - RamsFootballFans.com
You mentioned Sorsby, Sellars, Mestemaker, Maiava, Manning, Moore, and Sayin. That`s 7 QB`s, but no CJ Carr mention. Is he not a top QB prospect in your opinion? I think he will go top 10 for sure if he declares. I can see 1 or 2 of these guys not declaring if the quantity and competition is too strong and maybe they don`t have a great season. Go higher in 2028.by PaulButcher59 - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotealyoshamucci In my mind. He's a Pitt type of dude. Miami is solid opportunity. I could see either one of those giving a second. I think Cleveland and the Jets are banking their extra picks for a top 5 guy. Pitt seems like a great fit for him. It would allow them to save their 1st round pick in 2027.. Obviously, QB`s are always hit and miss with 1st round QB`s having roughly aby PaulButcher59 - RamsFootballFans.com
Being a left hander myself, I always pulled for left handed QB`s to be successful. And I just love the way Young played the game. I am an Iowa State fan, so I always liked Purdy and thought he could be a starting QB in the NFL before he was drafted. It`s hard not to like George Kittle.by PaulButcher59 - RamsFootballFans.com

They were one game better @12-5 last season, and this upcoming seasons schedule is harder. Not to mention, odds are they won`t be as healthy this upcoming season as they were last.by PaulButcher59 - RamsFootballFans.com

Crazy to think Atwell (5`8 7/8) would get drafted as high as he did weighing 155lbs. Running a 4.39 really isn`t very impressive at only 155. Tyrek Hill (5`8 1/8) was 185lbs, ran 4.29 and went in round 5 (no risk). Hill didn`t put up as good of numbers in college as Atwell, but 155 is still 155. Most of us here wanted Creed Humphrey with that Atwell pick. One of those times where theby PaulButcher59 - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteRockRam Just for fun, I was comparing CJ Daniel's scouting reports and draft analysis against Puka's. The two reports look amazingly alike. Virtually the same height, weight. The same 40 speed. The same attributes as not as fast as you'd like, good blocker, good in contested catches, has to be schemed open, won't run away from you. Limited athlete who plays hard but might be a good 3rd WR...by PaulButcher59 - RamsFootballFans.com
Quote3030 Can he block? That always seems to be the deciding factor as to whether he sees the field. Yes. He is a high character kid that is always looking to better himself and become a complete player. He`s a swiss army knife.by PaulButcher59 - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotealyoshamucci That's his thing. Willie Fritz is a good coach ... gets a ton out of his players ... I can't imagine he's not a ST demon. His craving contact and balance through traffic would make him perfect for kickoffs on both sides. As a note, he's exactly as timed fast as Jarquez Hunter (okay, of by .01). Comfy in the passing game. As far as RBs go, he's about as complete as they coby PaulButcher59 - RamsFootballFans.com

I have this feeling Mestemaker may stay at Okie State another season and potentially become QB1 in 2028. I have had Manning and Carr going 1-2 for a while now. Moore is probably #3. I am not worried about Manning having a bad season. His confidence is there right now and has a good supporting cast. The pressure to start last season in Columbus was ridiculous. I just wonder if there will be anyby PaulButcher59 - RamsFootballFans.com
Ex-track athlete. He builds to top speed quicky and is nice on screen passes. Only 1 fumble last season on 234 touches and just 1 dropped pass. His 3 cone would have been 4th best overall at the combine, tied with Kaden Wetjen at 6.95. Would be best for RB`s. His 4.29 20 yard shuttle would have tied RB Emmett Johnson as the top RB. His 39.5 vertical would have been #2 for RB`sby PaulButcher59 - RamsFootballFans.com

Quotemerlin I think he's got conventional starter level tools at the QB position. The gambling worries me with him though. And I think teams will certainly flag him for that. Also I think he has a lot of developing to do still. He is not as advanced as Simpson even if he is a better talent. So for example the Jets, who moved up in round 4 for Klubnik (who I think was underappreciated in thby PaulButcher59 - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotemerlin QuotePaulButcher59 Just my opinion. I don`t think Klare could come close to touching him in the slot in McVay`s or anyone else`s system. I know you're high on him. And you may be right, who knows. But again I'm a USC fan who never was wowed by him. He's more Woods than he is JSN to my eye. So as it pertains to performing in the slot in McVay's system, it's not necessarily abouby PaulButcher59 - RamsFootballFans.com

I`m gonna pull a Les Snead here, but instead of insinuating a rookie draft pick could get injured an not contribute right away, I`m going to say that one of our star players could just as easily get injured. The way Puka plays, we know its going to be very hard for him to be healthy enough to play 20 games next season. If he misses a few games, it`s not an issue unless its playoff time.

Quotemax Ty looks nothing like Purdy when I watch his games. Totally different in stature. What Ty looks like to me is a more mobile Cousins with a bit better arm, but a bit shorter. They were probably just going by pre-draft measurables. Purdy: 6`0 5/8, 212 Simpson: 6`1 1/8, 211by PaulButcher59 - RamsFootballFans.com
