Fill me in on how this is good news?. Injuries are red flags especially prior to the draft.

He's currently projected to go mid-first round. Davis missing the combine due might be the best chance the Rams have of landing a true #1 WR in this year's draft.

I am hoping we shoot for a top OL, CB prospect in this coming draft. WR would be the last thing for me, others might agree with you though.

I hope they take the best player available. I think Davis would be a candidate for that approach. There are certainly OL and CB prospects that could fall as well.

I haven't dived into the prospects much yet, but if there's any chance to get a #1 in the second round, I'm all in.

Courtland Sutton out of SMU was originally a possibility, but he's headed back to school. Of the remaining day two guys, they all have some big question marks. I think we'll see JuJu Smith's name thrown around for the Rams quite a bit, but I have my doubts about him as a #1. Chris Godwin from Penn State might end up the best of the bunch and he's projected to go in round 3 or 4.

My opinion remains that we don't need a #1 WR if we have three guys who can win 1-on-1. Add DeSean or Garcon this off-season. And then decided if you want to add another veteran or draft a WR. But if they decide to draft a WR, I wouldn't do it in the 2nd round. I think that pick can be better spent elsewhere. There are WRs who I like who will likely be available in the 3rd or 4th rounds.

I think we're somewhat in agreement. I think a true number #1 would be nice, but If Davis and Williams are gone as expected, I think the guys in the third and fourth have similar upside and risk to the John Ross/Dede Westbrook group.

He should be able to run the 40 at his pro day...if he runs well then, he won't fall at all...His tape is pretty solid.

Rams need to draft BPA. Every year there's one or two who fall into that range of round 2 where the Rams are picking. So if they are disciplined and take BPA they will definitely get a guy with a solid round 1 grade in this draft.

That starts with FA too, btw. They can't fill every hole, but they can get enough key additions in here to where they won't need to press in the draft for specific positions when the value isn't there.

I would take Davis in a heartbeat if he dropped to us in the 2nd round but I dont see him falling out of the 1st round :cry:

I don't think he'll be ready to run in time for a pro day, definitely not at 100%. Even with some questions about his top end speed I don't think he'll drop that much. Although he could have solidified himself as a mid first pick with a good combine and pro day.

Zay Jones
Ishmael Zamora
Cooper Kupp
Juju Smith
Chris Godwin

Are all guys I like right now. Not all will be available then, but some will be. There are also a few guys that I'd like to get a look at who are likely to go in that range or close to it (Amara Darboh, Taywan Taylor, Josh Reynolds, Isaiah Ford, Malachi Dupre, Carlos Henderson, Chad Hansen, and Josh Malone).

I really like Ford, Kupp, and JuJu. Thanks for the names. Im going to have to look into Ishmael Zamora, Chad Hansen, Josh Malone, and Carlos Henderson. Haven't really seen those names thrown around too much.

Travin Dural had a good of practice at the Senior Bowl. I'm surprised you didn't list him.
