Doctson is higher on the Rams board than Treadwell, hell Braxton Miller might be higher than Treadwell.
What gives you that impression?
I'd argue that Treadwell is more ideally suited for this offense than any receiver out there.
There is nobody in this draft who runs a deep comeback like Treadwell. It's almost undefendable.

Coleman or Treadwell
I think the pick will be cb. We don't have a #1 cb and no wr is worthy of pick .

How is Tru not a number 1 in this league? in addition to EJ Gaines coming back from injury, Joyner who played really well at the end of last year in the nickel, Roberson , and the addition of sensabaugh. How many young corners do we need?

I agree, to many people worried about his 40 time. Anquan Bolding ran a 4.7, he has bee on e of the top receivers for the last decade. I would love Treadwell at 15 and I think he changes out offense immediately.

One thing the Rams have done with regularity since Snisher has been here is draft guys they've had visits with...

It usually seems like they keep quiet on one or two top prospects but pretty much draft guys who are later round picks that they've had visits with...
The last two seasons nobody had any idea who we were taking. They kept it quiet. The years before that, everybody knew who we were taking.

Treadwell looks like Britt. So do the Rams just want to replace Britt or have another of his skillset on the field at the same time? Or do they want a guy that can run good routes and is super athletic? If recent history tells us anything they would take the more athletic freak in Doctson.

I think you're making a huge error if you think Treadwell and Britt are the same guy.
I agree that Doctson is more athletic and more fluid, but Treadwell

A - gets more separation just on his route running - especially deep comebacks
B - is more elusive and avoids contact better
C - has better balance
D - is better at shielding defenders
E - is a way better blocker
F - has better vision after the catch

Doctson will give you more on deep routes, but this offense isn't built on that. It's built on who can get the most YAC, blocking, and ability to capitalize on play-action. All areas in which Treadwell is more ideally suited to excel at in this offense than Doctson. Just my opinion, and I like Doctson.

Yep, he reminds me of Kenny Britt alot as well.

Personally, if Rams go WR - I want Coleman or Docston

Tru hasn't covered anybody worthy to be called a #1 yet. He benefited greatly from playing opposite jenkins. He had a OK game vs a hobbled Megatron that would have looked worse if Stafford would have done his job

When Britt was drafted, he and Treadwell were very similar. In many ways they still are.

Couldn't disagree more. Fisher often used Tru to match up with the bigger receivers because he was a better matchup. Even if Jenks was healthy he would have followed megatron. Tru followed Alshon Jeffrey and Michael Floyd last year. He has done it in the past and will be fine doing it this year.
