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.

    • You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.
    • 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.
