Rams Targeting Cj Mosley To Replace Dunbar?

[jrry32]

If we want to replace Dunbar, Yawin Smallwood from UConn is the guy to do it.

That's an interesting thing to say. The guy you say you want sounds just like Dunbar to me. From your description Mosley sounds just like the guy I want. Someone you don't have to take out on passing downs. Frankly, Even if we draft a good CB we still don't a reliable backfield., especially if we get even one injury. If we don't want to get that kind of guy I'm OK with Dunbar. He's good against the run and can blitz too.

Of course replacing him with a real head hunter wouldn't be bad either.

Sorry Alan I certainly did not try to confuse. I am saying I would Rather have Barr than Mosley, both would certainly be in on 3rd down. I would rather have a stay at home block shedding run stuffer than either Barr or Mosley. Barr is a very interesting prospect maybe the #2 freakish athlete in the draft next to Clowney. I bet he rises to the 2nd or 3rd rated prospect by draft day so he is very alluring and tempting.

I Like Smallwood........A LOT. He could be a great OLB.

That wasn't what I was confused about. I know Barr is a 3-4 OLB and doesn't fit our system. What confused me was when you said that neither one was suited to play Dunbars position. Good against the run and not so good against the pass describes both Dunbar and Barr in my mind. With Dunbar being a poor man's Barr. What is it that you see different in their games except in degree?

i can't imagine spending a 1st round pick on a 4-3 SLB... the nickel package is predominantly 60% of the packages these days, that means he'd be on the field probably for 40% of the plays... i'd rather get a corner, unless he plans to take over for laurenitias

What round is he projected to be drafted?

 

[Alan]

iced thinking OLB is a low priority:

I agree with all that. OLB is not that high a priority but there's no doubt in my mind that it would improve our front seven. But, like I've said before, OT, CB & FS are much higher priorities to me. I'm just discussing the pros and cons of this option because this is a thread about targeting an OLB.

 

[jrry32]

3rd or 4th

 

[Alan]

4th isn't bad. Especially if we get some extra picks this year. Good plan jrry. Make it so.

I'd bet on a 3rd.

 

[Alan]

Too late, you already promised me 4th. No take backs.

 

[Alan]

flv loving those trade downs:
No reason to believe we'll stay at #13. If we pick at #25 a lot more options potentially become value.

Worked very well for us last year.

3rd or 4th

huh?

mocks i see is him in the first, top 15..

definitely don't see him falling to us in the 2nd round

Yawin Smallwood.

So they're doing their homework on first round talents. GOOD! Im glad they're doing what scouts are suppose to do...

It does make a lot of sense, though. They did cut Dunbar once already for PED's and brought him back because we had no one to replace him.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I think Ray Ray Armstrong will be the replacement if they pass on Dunbar... Ray Ray better not be a flag man :slap: next season!

Ray Ray is a safety turned Linebacker....and another example of potential roster turnover.

I want a linebacker turned awesome linebacker.

I don't get the love for our bottom of the roster players.

Mosley, JL, Ogletree, Ray Ray, etc. Sounds pretty boss to me.

I doubt Ray Ray and Bates go anywhere. They're really good on special teams. Those players tend to stick around.

that's true....on special teams Ray Ray earned his stay. But he cant replace Dunbar.
