2020 NFL Draft: Rounds 2-3

[Loyal]

Love Terrell Burgess!!

Why? Because he's driving us all insane?

This makes it look like JJ is gone next year. Either that or they're not sure they like him in this scheme.

I think it's more likely Burgess ends up at nickel.

Yep, always think one year ahead.

NRC replacement prolly. Can never have enough DBs. Especially in this division.

 

[MadGoat]

I don't understand the hate for the Burgess pick. He's likely an instant starter.

 

[Corbin]

Burgess is a good player just surprised we picked him!!! BPA bitches!

Honestly JJ is probably not going to be here next year.

 

[Hram]

Yes, thanks to Havenstein, Blythe, and to a lesser extent Whitworth. They spent a lot of draft capital on the o-line on the line but their plans were derailed by injuries last year. Whitworth was resigned for 2 years as a place holder for Noteboom. Blythe's contract doesn't guarantee him the start over Allen who outplayed both Sullivan and Blythe before he was injured. Corbett had a very good year in 2019 and that was not being with the o-line all season. He proved himself at LG. Edwards and Evans outplayed Havenstein and Blythe despite only coming in toward the end of the season. Yet they stabilized the o-line. The Rams are correct in staying the course with their o-ine plans. Rookies taken this year aren't going to play better than the guys they already have. Rookies on the o-line rarely play well if they started immediately. The speed of the game and quality of the opposition is just too great of a step up for guys who have to think their way through each snap.

Their current o-line needs time to practice and play together to gel as a unit. They are not as bad as last year's rating indicate.

This. Exactly.

Over Biadasz. Over any of the inside linebackers. I'm sorry, but I hate this pick, too.

No trades
No Shanault
No Baidasz
No Mims
Yeah I guess you’re not having a good day

 

[LARams_1963]

We needed Safety depth...

They saying he a nickle

 

[Dieter the Brock]

Hahahah no

 

[CanadianFan]

Great pick!

 

[rdlkgliders]

So there is the team we have, the team McSnead thinks we have and the team RODies think we have.

I don't understand the hate for the Burgess pick. He's likely an instant starter.

People lock in to certain players and when the Rams don't take them, negative reactions ensue.

 

[Corbin]

They saying he a nickle

Who’s saying this?

 

[TexasRam]

I mean, I like the player but... did we need a safety? I guess maybe insurance since Jon Johnson might be on the outside looking in next offseason with Ramsey and Kupp both needing extensions.

Well safety was a need. Rapp isn't a deep safety and plus Long is unproven in the slot so we needed some DB depth for sure.

 

[Loyal]

Hahahah no

It would be legit reason. In fact, I will enjoy listening to Podcasts all week with hosts losing their minds about the Rams picks....lol

Over Biadasz. Over any of the inside linebackers. I'm sorry, but I hate this pick, too.

There are a bunch of talented ILBs on Day 3. And Bob McGinn has Biadasz falling out of the 4th round. The medicals are bad.

For next year that is a reasonable assumption. We lost Christian so I did expect them to get a safety or at least that it was on their need list. But this guy isn't a SS type. He's a guy who fits that Fangio scheme as a guy over the top. So I think we can read some intent or at least expectation on the part of the Rams.
