First I'll say you make good points & bring a lot to the table.
-- Yes from a value point looking at it
I might say your right about Lamp & Goodwin ??

1. Gerald Everett was McVays baby.
He will be key to The Rams 2017 success . To blame Sneed ? Is freaking silly.Your talking about a coach that made J.Reed into one of the best TE's in football.Then you add he becomes the head coach of The Rams.
You bring up Fisher as to if he was a god & you never liked Snead in the first place. To add McVay is the youngest Head coach in NFL history.
-- Made good points if you believe in Wade & McVay ?? Fuck Yeah I Do !!!
When you look at what The Rams did in the season.
2.I'd agree with you guys on certain points , but Phil Savage talked about Gerald Everett. Saying he was hurt, and that he was one of the best tight ends at the senior bowl. To go by Mel Kipers draft board is dumb founded , but I go by Walters for just the measurable's and value. Everett was listed ahead of Ingram , And the third best TE the draft.
3.talk about Joyner and blame it on Sneed. Then talk bad about John Johnson, And his value. He was a free pick.
4. Reynolds is going to be an exciting player to watch, along with Cooper Kupp.

Then I hear you talk about the FB ??
If you listen to what was going on . The Rams would have never got him if they did not draft him. When they draft him he did not even pick up the phone. He was talking to other teams.
--Talk about Kittle , yes he is a 9er which sucks if he is that good ?? Though there first FA they signed was a FB for the biggest contract ever by a FB. Think in fact #10 for a HB ?

What you guys postitions . Yes Lamp might have been a good pick ?? There is no way in Hell he is starting. Kromer already told Snead that there is no player that he liked better than the guys he has & wants to work with the young guys.That gives(gave) The Rams the luxury to pick best player by position .Weather you want to believe in the style of DRAFTING ? Is your Prerogative ?
The Rams needed a pass catching TE more than anything in The Draft.
1. Lance Kendricks was released.
2. Cory Harkey does not fit what McVay wants to do.
--- He found 2 guys he really liked & identified in the draft . Snead got him to those spots of risk.The Bears traded up to screw The Rams already moving to #2. They were in need of a TE. Les already got more in John Johnson !!!
---- Don't understand how some Ram Fans don't see that ?

Who & what is Lamp going to do in The NFL ? What is Everett going to do ? If you play fantasy football ? Your going to like Gerald Everett a lot better. It's hard to find a good TE week in & week out.Then talk about a deep TE draft ? You Want The Best !! Everett is a Top 5 TE in the Draft. He Will start For The Rams . You can't say that about TE's that went behind him.
---Need over Best available !! Yes & to trade back !! Success.

1. Howard 2.Zay Jones
I think that is how The Rams draft would have went if they had there #1 pick ??

I like Everett,Kupp,Johnson, & Reynolds .
I think The Rams traded back & still got Reynolds ??

All and all Jake you make some real good points. It gives you a fans perspective of the draft.

Your points on FB & TE were spot on , but not before my rant.Yes a FB is a most , not an HB like Harkey. Harkey is a solid blocker , but McVay wants positive plays.

----That is why I'll disagree with you on Goodwin vs Cooper Kupp. Kupp is so start(McVay loves) & has great hands.
Goodwin shined in Rose Bowl , but he drops a lot of passes.

I'm not either I think you bring a lot to the table.It's interesting. I is better than just your average Rams talk.

--This guy talks about Price taking over for Connor Barwin next season , but misses on Ebukam !! That is The guy. 4.40 off the edge !! Can fall back into coverage. Like Dana says & big piece of clay. Clay from GB would be Nice :)

Jake you have to do me a favor !! Please

Just turned on Senior Bowl again. Have been trying to get through it. Fall a sleep then back to it. I keep coming back to this same spot for some reason. I quoted it yesterday & just talked about Phil Savage will eating & trying watch & finish your podcast.

Very Cool freaking moment, I just saw at around 10 minutes left in the 2nd qrt.
Alex Flanagan interviews Phil Savage. Just before that Reynolds takes a reverse & a bs fumble. I think he recovered it.
She ask Phil Savage about Howard & players. While his back is turned he is talking about his character & about these players all highly.As this is going on Copper Kupp takes a reverse. Then she ask him who really stood out this week.
First name Copper Kupp , saying he was terrific very consistent for 3 days as a pass catcher.

Then she ask if there is a deck Prescott player here. He says I'm not sure about the quarterback position. Then he talks about the quarterbacks. She then ask about the next star to come out of here.Then he says what about Gerard Gerald Everett he thinks he has a big future because he so Athletic and fast.catches the ball extremely well I think he has a bright future.

Find it & listen to it. Real cool moment if you go back after all is said & done. Maybe Snead let Phil Savage scout for him , but I repecect Phil & the love & passion he puts into the Senior Bowl.

Also CJ Bethard throws a TD pass to Zay Jones who tore up the Senior Bowl. Zay Jones was my MVP & a WR I would have taken at 37.McVay said you don't even need to turn the card in. It's going to be Zay Jones right after The Rams traded back. -- I really like the way Xay Jones plays. None stop & wants win. Has fun & enjoys the game. He was quoted as saying he learned a lot from Cooper Kupp during the weekend.

Kupp pick is only going to help Tavon Austin.

I enjoyed the podcast even though I agree and disagree on some things between the two of you. I did find myself agreeing more with Jake's views than his co host. Thats what makes us all passionate fans because we all have our own opinions on how to make this team better and the intentions are always good from both sides of the conversation. At the end of the day, we can never have too much Rams talk so keep the podcasts coming bro I look forward to more!
:cheers:

Nice job !!

Just listened to Miles & D. Farr about The Rams & draft. Mikes is way into himself & brings a lot of silliness to his show. It gets annoying after a while.

DeMarco is such a Fisher guy I believe ?? Just think he is real negetive & doesn't look beyond what is going on. Seems like he is in the outs ?? Just goes from his past knowledge which was 4-12 .
He doesn't know about Barron at LBer ?
Thinks the 3-4 is going to be harder for The Rams than the 4-3. Does Know Wade will be successful especially because Aaron Donald is a Ram.

I think he is real down on G Rob , but one of them made a good point about M. Oher having success after moving from LT to RT . He wonders about center & thinks Rhaney will make the team ??

I just think he is not getting hyped up at all & going by old news.

I like Connor Barwin. Also D Easley should fit perfect . Then add Quinn , Brockers, Donald & even Westbrook.

Matt Longacre is even learning to cover a little from the right edge. Quinn is as fast as a lot of LBers.

---I was upset because he was in love with Hayes & the other dude Simms. Saying the Rams lost a lot of depth there.
Such F"ing BS !!!
Connor Barwin will get after it & a healthy Quinn over Simms ?? Hayes adds nothing really ?? Donald is going to be so fast of the edge. He is keeping his body fat down & really working hard on his foot work.

Webster is an excellent addition as well. Gaines should be healthy ?? Playing with back up CB's killed the defense late in games. Just go right after them , plus not getting off the field.
Look at the draft picks.

I just watched the Senior Bowl agains.

Reynolds really played well. He scored the first TD & had some nice plays. Ran good routes.
Everett showed me he was a good blocker !! He played behind Howard & was banged up as well. Still went out for a pass & dropped in a open spot for a nice catch. Showed awareness of coverage. Made a tackle on a INT to cause a fumble.
Copper is Copper . He will play & has a good feel for the game. He talks a brings a solid voice in the huddle.
Even the FB was getting some nice action. Played at the end of the game on TD. Was solo back & lead blocker. He is a bull. Just keeps going from on spot to the next until the whistle. Has good hands & body control. He is smart player as well.

5 years of being the youngest & most penalized team in the NFL . That STOPS NOW with McVay & friends !!

I also like how McVay is always in Goff's ear. He is already that much further along . ** add Woods at WR .

The talent is there & the players are getting in tuned .I actually like the 3 or 4 LBers The Rams brought back from last years squad & practice squad. Good competition

My favorite thing about this is the fact that we are about to shut up people who said Robert Woods isn't a good WR. Mainly Buffalo fans. Kupp is really going to show out I think.

What did you think of Sammy Watkins when he came out. I was hoping The Rams would trade back with Buffalo , that always seems to work out for the team that trades back. Atlanta made out well.
