I see some folks dismissing Everett on-line because he was a Juco guy...and ended up at a smaller school.. I like the young man's attitude..... he's got a 400lb bench pressby LA_Ram_#29 - RamsFootballFans.com
had a rare set of skills....size.....speed....and unlike some other guys in the past who were called "freakishly athletic" Tight Ends...these guys had actual production in college to go with their freakish physical attributes... OJ Howard.....Evan Engram.....David Njoku......Gerald Everett.... all 4 have a rare set of speed, size and athletic ability... The way I look at it....of tby LA_Ram_#29 - RamsFootballFans.com
Too good a skill set to pass on ...by LA_Ram_#29 - RamsFootballFans.com
I'm hoping he's there in the 3rdby LA_Ram_#29 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRamUK Saying the player the really wanted was still there? Trading down that far suggests he didn't want him that badly. I like the trade.... obviously we didn't think Zay was that much better than the options available 7 picks later... and we swap a 5th for a 3rd... not bad.. they could even trade down again if they could add another 3rd or 4thby LA_Ram_#29 - RamsFootballFans.com
at 37 would be super early.... but the top TEs are gone.... there are other good ones but Everett is one that's in the same style of the guys drafted tonight...by LA_Ram_#29 - RamsFootballFans.com
Sam Darnold.....Jake Browning.....Lamar Jackson....Josh Rosen.... Goff not being the guy only impacts us for this season....by LA_Ram_#29 - RamsFootballFans.com
I didn't like the trade.... and I would have picked Wentz.... Goff has some things that are concerning... but we honestly are only committed to him for this one season...if he shows he's not the guy moving forward...this coaching staff didn't draft him...we can draft a QB in the first round next year and there are a few good onesby LA_Ram_#29 - RamsFootballFans.com
likely means WRs going early.... I saw people saying Davis would be there for us at #37....lol.. well...Corey Davis went in the spot where the Rams would have picked...by LA_Ram_#29 - RamsFootballFans.com
Josh Forrest looks back from injury too.... if he can stay healthy I think he's gonna see the field...by LA_Ram_#29 - RamsFootballFans.com
Nelson Spruce really has bulked up... Glad to see he worked hard during his down time... hopefully he can do something for us..by LA_Ram_#29 - RamsFootballFans.com
we need to just do the best we can with the picks we have this years...by LA_Ram_#29 - RamsFootballFans.com
I would do it in a second.... for a 7th round pick?? are you kidding... If he checks out ok.... I'd do it..by LA_Ram_#29 - RamsFootballFans.com
Gerald Everrett from South Alabama is really good too..by LA_Ram_#29 - RamsFootballFans.com
I would disagree a bit... the team shouldn't promote publically the idea of open competition..... but if Sean Mannion plays better during this offseason and looks like he can move the team better during the regular season...he should be the starter. Goff has been given this job...we gave up a lot for him...he has every opportunity in the world to take over as the Rams starting QB... butby LA_Ram_#29 - RamsFootballFans.com
Obviously everyone hopes Nelson Spruce does something...I saw someone say he couldn't stay healthy...sure he got hurt..but I don't think the Fisher and co. were in a hurry to get him out on the field either. We invested a lot in Austin...we spent draft picks on Cooper and Thomas.... and Bradley Marquez has a unique skill set as a special teamer..and he earned some reps at WR because of that.

no.... short yardage 2-TE sets I would have Higbee and Harkey in .....by LA_Ram_#29 - RamsFootballFans.com
yeah I'm not really comparing him to Reed.... Reed doesn't run a sub 4.5 40 right? he's not really a pure TE.... but we wouldn't need him to be... We have a guy that fits that role better in Higbee..by LA_Ram_#29 - RamsFootballFans.com
Glad to see Gurley may be putting that weight back on that he took off before last season... but is that Nelson Spruce in this picture? if so the young man has been working hard and he looks like he's ready to compete.... We need that...by LA_Ram_#29 - RamsFootballFans.com
Maurice got to the NFL based on playing Free Safety in his last college season... He played well at Free safety last season.... personally I'd keep him there and move Barron back to the Strong safety, and get a real line back with size to put in our new hybrid 3-4...by LA_Ram_#29 - RamsFootballFans.com
(obviously with OJ Howard being off the board for us by then) but my ranking would be 1. Evan Engram 2. Gerald Everrett 3. David Njoku and I'd gladly take any of them... the way I look at it for that #37 spot.... If there is a big WR that I'd rank above those 3 TEs......well..meaning if Williams is on the board at #37...which although I've seen some mocks where he is, but I inby LA_Ram_#29 - RamsFootballFans.com
you're right about those 2 shortcomings.... but I honestly wouldn't see us using him as a traditional TE in terms of blocking and sitting down on a lot of short routes... I think with that speed and catching ability you use him more as a stand up slot guy or out side matched up on a corner... in 1 back sets with Higbee now as your TE, he would be more of the blocker, and Engram would beby LA_Ram_#29 - RamsFootballFans.com
He's a 6'3 TE from Ole Miss... he ran a 4.47 at the combine... and unlike some other freakish athletes who have come out the combine..he's got tons of tape of him actually making big plays in a tough conference... he was the fastest TE at the combine..... his listed as 234lbs right now... Everyone is comparing him to Jordan Reed..a guy who our new coach got linked up with Cousins...by LA_Ram_#29 - RamsFootballFans.com
eh... Joyner may end up being a back up at corner and safety... Alexander played pretty well last year at FS..... and we could always move Barron back to SS.... Joyner is solid guarding slot guys ..but he's short and having him on the field too much last year was not a good move..by LA_Ram_#29 - RamsFootballFans.com
I was at the game...but after watching it on replay... Goff actually looked pretty good.. he was accurate...had some drops.... needs to get a better pocket feel... but that will come... he's got a great RB back he'll eventually be working with.. Thomas and Cooper have to stop dropping the ball....they're rookies though...by LA_Ram_#29 - RamsFootballFans.com
