QuoteDavid Deacon I love this pick and if he was taller he would have been taken in the 1st or 2nd round. Seems this draft we chose older player who were shorter/smaller than the ideal measurement for their position. That said we sure took a lot of guys who could make a lot of good plays on the field. Pat Thomas was on the small side but he had a helluva Rams career and was a fan favoritby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
You make a convincing argument for Avila at LG, 53. And I’m 100% for starting ‘best 5’, too. So I guess I’m saying that you’ve definitely got me leaning in that direction now. Only reason I was favoring Avila at OC in the first place is because that’s our weakest link. Starter at OC is probably moot anyway because I believe Allen will break down again at some point, so Shelton will finish aby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteKillrazor QuoteRampage2K- Cam( and most RB's) was at his best when he was allowed to actually get more than 12 carries and get a feel for the game....we will not be doing any of our RB's any favors if we try to go back to that ridiculous committee type run game like they tried with Hendo and Cam.....I don't care who it is, Cam or Zach, just let them be the bell cow and allow them to get intoby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRampage2K- gotta love these fan sites... I stopped after reading his first line :confused "Over the past few seasons, Snead has gotten a lot of criticism for his draft. Selecting Creed Humphrey over TuTu Atwell may be his biggest blunder" It was a typo, R2K. Cut him a little slack. These guys are super rushed post draft.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotemerlin So teams like the whiners with Deebo, who will be a tough matchup for the smaller guys we're gonna be fielding. But we've had probs with them anyway, so why not reload with some guys who can at least jump routes and pick the ball. I like the direction. Wish we had one additional and taller corner who was clearly a guy for outside. But two ballhawk corners will hurt some teams, wby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

Quotemtramfan I hope you're right about Tomlinson being able to play outside. Soap-opera questions for me: Will Rochelle finally come around? Who will play against Deebo and DK? Will an improved pass rush mask Kendricks' lack of speed? Right now Durant and Rochelle are listed as starting corners - will that change by game 1? When will Tomlinson get his chance? Who will play nickel? Staby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

Quotemerlin QuoteRams43 Rams ran a very effective 12 set O last year with an inferior OL (patchwork, really) and mediocre TE’s left standing.

Hint: He’s a bit of a draftnik on another board, so his opinions carry a bit more weight with me. Here’s Flatlyner… As a whole, I liked the draft quite a lot.

Quotemerlin It is what it is. Guys who can't communicate well with their staffs in college and who get hurt and don't live up to high talent levels rarely flip those switches in the pros.
