Exactly what I see.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
I'm doing my lists and there are a lot of talented DBs and LBs and even DTs that are going to go undrafted. We could be fine with less picks.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
Yep, first thing I thought. I thought Higgins to Buffalo second.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
Opens the door for Bill's to go after Higgins. Which would be wild but not completely crazy.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
Bueller? Ethan Driskell? Julian Pearl?by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
If we don't trade up (in this mock, Odunze is gone at 6 ... ) I see us taking multiple trade downs ...by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
I think DP hit every aspect ... I'd add that he looked like he was working on touch and accuracy in the post season ... And one other thing that I saw that I don't know about because it's rare. He just stands. He can generate power for a throw so quickly that he ends up being heavy footed in the pocket. Most guys bounce and reset every few seconds. Might lead to the inaccuracy issues.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
Yeah it's simply a great draft. Might have taken a LB instead of 2 CBs but I really like both CBs ... and LBs can slide right off the board real easy.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
There's a grouping of guys I'm watching for round 3 and he's in it. He's like Verse 2b. I'd rather him going forward, but he's a beast and has good drill #s. Dunno how he'd do moving backwards but I don't know that about Verse either. Pure projection. But he's on the short list for tier 2 late day 2.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com

Niiiiiice... They were all hard workers.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
Great explanation by Youngblood... Short answer from me is yes. If you're playing man (lock), any deficiency gets you beat. Mental is first ... then fluidity (hips, feet, ankles) ... then speed. Case in point ... he beats you off the line and his break surprises you ... Next he's smooth out of his break (3 cone) and doesn't lose speed. Then he accelerates to and through the ball (4by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
So Odunze will definitely be the third WR taken.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
When Arch comes out would be preferable ... Next year we have Ewers Jaxson Dart Will Howard Carson Beck Riley Leonard And a few others that could make a splash... I'm not trading up for any of them from the 32 spot, so why keep the pick? An OLT? Not at 32. If I liked someone a lot that could be had in round 2? Sure. Otherwise I'm waiting for another strong QB year. Wby alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
Another thing I thought of today ... Kupp has maybe a year or two, same with Stafford, and it's two years before we have to extend Puka ... If we land an absolute stud this year, he'll have a couple years with Stafford and Kupp to maximize potential, and then we'll have Puka and Odunze possibly in his 3rd year to break in a new QB with what should still be an intact O line. Really setsby alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
I have a lot of questions here, and since it looks like it's down to 5 or so players for the first round, I wanted to ask for more info on the one I know the least about. To anyone who is familiar with my reports but not my "style" of scouting, it's in the name. The book "Blink" was all about taking initial reactions ... like through intuition and rapid cognition ... and eby alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
I'd trade a first next year. I would maybe switch a 3rd for 4th this year. Odunze is a Julio Jones type. Yes he's that good. Bears taking a 10 spot dip for a first next year seems like a win. No QB next year is worth a first. Maybe OLT? We have to be ready this year.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
Only thing I can think would be that teams might trade out for QB and OT needy teams pushing odunze and Thomas down ... And I said it before... I'll trade a 1st in 25 to get odunze ...by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
He doesn't make my top 20, BUT there is basically no one else like him in the draft. If you want him, you take him before someone else does.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
3rd for Raheem.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
We have time to train hm, and that's the only reason he'd fall to 52.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
Bucky Irving.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
This is a good question ... especially since they go both directions in this draft (RB to WR or WR to RB) Tyrone Tracy and Dylan Laube are RBs that are WRs ... Ainais Smith has taken handoffs, believe Corley has as well. I think Corley will be the first drafted of that type, and he's got appeal to me in round 3, not before. Corley doesn;t have the hands or route running skills "I&quby alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
Latu Edge Pearsall WR Can do anything, including get deep. TJ Tampa CB Boundary corner. 32.5 inch arms, can tackle. 6-0.5 189 ... bordering on first round talent, slides because he hasn't been able ot work out. Dewayne Carter DT Meat and Potatoes pick. If I could get Ohrororo and Khyree Jackson by flipping the CB and DT picks I would.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
But ... he's not going to be ready to be the starter game 1. He'll split time with Hoecht and you hope our coaches can get him up to speed in time for a playoff run. That may even work out better for us. We'd also have the two most athletic freaks as edge rushers in the NFL. Maybe it's enough to have 2 exterior and one interior rusher that all win ... maybe that's the ratio needed to coby alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
This particular mock had guys wayyyyyyy out of order in comparison to not just my grades, but everyone's. Could some of it be right? Absolutely. Could half of it? No. Like Austin Booker has never played full time ... he's not going in round 2. They have us taking Jalyx Hunt in the 3rd ... he's a project that definitely needs a redshirt.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
Ex WR. But ... where is he playing? Yeast/Lake/ Sainrstil? He's not playing outside is he?by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
Then I'd consider it. I'm not giving up 52 in this draft.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
this time of year gets tricky, trying to figure out the smoke and mirrors, but ... fantasy football is always running. And it's big money ... So I check who the top dynasty rookies are "before they're drafted and inherit a situation" to compare to after. I have us taking Pearsall or Legette at 52 ... Pearsall is WR11 Legette is WR 12 Daniel Jeremiah has 12 WRs in his topby alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
