Mocking the Rams

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.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By mav1234 · Posted

      There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      Whatever they are in totality the cowboys are beat up all to hell on both sides of the ball and even that was too much for lil Bryce to overcome.  Bryce defenders have to hype up every other team and trash every other part of the panthers just because of the situation they’ve put themselves in.

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By SCO96 · Posted

      JB had a first round grade in the eyes of a lot scouts based on HIS TALENT LEVEL. If not for the injury he would have gone higher in the draft, possibly between the middle and the end of round 1. To get him just before the 50th pick is a steal. He'd be on a 4 year deal. You can't even renegotiate until the end of the season 3. You're basically paying him nothing for 3 seasons. I don't buy into all back are interchangeable. No they're not. You have average backs, good backs, then your great-exceptional backs. The latter category doesn't grow on trees. If a back is special it pays to keep them. The key is knowing the difference between the first two categories and the third one.
