Mocking the Rams


stirs

Recommended Posts

So at #6, do the Rams sit tight?

Do they now try to move back up to #3 with Minny to get Kalil?

At 6, with Kalil gone, Blackmon most likely gone, which way do they go?

OT and WR were their biggest needs. Rieff? DeCastro? Floyd?

Or do they go DT, DE, or CB?

They are just outside the blue chip box, so now they have some work to do so as not to squander their first round choice.

Conventional wisdom says the 1st 5 picks go:

1. Indy Luck

2. Wash RGIII

3. Minny Kalil

4. Clev Blackmon

5. TB Claiborne

That leaves Rams with guys that all could be had a bit lower. Trade down might not be a bad scenario for them. If they stick, I think they go Rieff.

Trading back up with Minny might be too expensive as Minny needs the same things that St Louis needs and at 6 would be in the same boat having missed out on Kalil. I think the Rams have made their bed at 6.

I don't see them trading back up. If anything they might try to move down again.

They won't go DE. They have a former #2 overall pick in Chris Long and spent a 1st rounder on Robert Quinn just last year. James Hall is coming back for another year as well and has 16.5 sacks over the last two years.

DTs they have are somewhat decent, although they're really up there in age. They could definitely use some young talent but with the lack of value with the DTs at the #6 spot they'll most likely wait until next year or address it later in the draft.

A lot depends on what happens with Jason Smith. He's going to have to take a pay cut to stay and even then it's not 100% that they'll have faith in him. Also, depends a lot on what happens in free agency.

Assuming Kalil, Claiborne and Blackmon are all of the board I think they go with Reiff. Floyd would be in the discussion as well, especially if they can't land any of the top WRs in free agency. Richardson is probably a long shot.

    • It's a decent vid with compelling reasons for his opinion. But, my thing is is that you simply can't draft McMillan thinking he is a surefire WR1. There are questions. His 40---rightly or wrongly---will play a part. I'd think that his splits (which will speak more to his game translating to the pros in my mind) are more important.  As much as you're trying to sell us that McMillan is a don't-overthink-it-type-of-player, I wouldn't say that's the case. Workouts will play a part in all of this.  At this point, I like the thought of Tetairoa. That's as much as I can give you right now.
    • If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game to go around   and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.
    • the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important.
