OFFICIAL 2023 Draft

[Flatlyner]

You don't need to be a highly picked RB to be a top 3 guy in the NFL. All that would mean is that he's in a good offense where they hand him the ball and best-utilize his skills. Like he has currently in college.

But watching his tape the guy does everything well I just don't think he is special. He has been put up there near the top of round 1 like he is special. He has been talked about like he is special. But in each phase of his game he is good not great, except for production which is certainly valuable and I would love to see us take him if he is there, however as we are talking about which RB goes off the board first I don't think he is the slam dunk everyone sells him as.

So yeah, if he goes top ten feel free to roast me on this. If he even goes before Gibbs do the same. Because I figure NFL teams are seeing what I'm seeing, it just hasn't filtered to the media nutsacks yet. Could be way wrong though, and wouldn't be the first time.

Yeah, I don't think he goes top 10 either. I feel very strongly that he goes in the 1st and likely to a good team. If he goes to Eagles (visiting them now) he's going to be very successful and a top 3-5 back IMO. I'll definitely keep the receipt about Gibbs going above him though

Looking at the rankings of various sites....PFF, CBS, Draftbuzz, etc......they all have different rankings of course. As will many NFL teams. And considering our "perceived" needs, a look at Edge & CB, when #36 comes around.....if that's the way the Rams go, we're going to get a good one at either position. Figure 5-6 Edge players drafted in the first 32 and 5-6 CBs. That leaves a lot of talent left at #36. The question is, if we get a stud no matter which way we went, which would be better to pass on at #36? Edge or CB?

We could end up with Banks or Cam Smith for CB, McDonald IV or Anudike-Uzo....for edge.

He seems to be trending in the late 4th to mid 5th range.

I'd take Julius Brents. He got GREAT coaching at the University of Iowa by the GOAT Phil Parker before transferring for more playing time.

Love to have him and it's looking more and more like a 2nd round pick than the 3rd I mocked him.

 

[Flatlyner]

Can't say I'd be happy about Brents at #36 personally. In the 3rd, sure! I'm leaning more and more to hoping the Rams take the best Edge at #36, or, trade back and grab Edge, CB, or Center.

Excited to see the Rams have interest in McDonald ante Abedawore. If we do draft Adebawore (think he's a first rounder though) we will immediately need a nickname for him.

One of those guys who I wonder what he'd be if he played for a better team.

I have him in my latest mock going to the Rams in Round 6. Guess I should have kept quiet about him!

LOL
I've had Trey Palmer going in the 5'th round since my Mar. 5 mock.

Yes... and I had Adeboware as the Rams pick at #36 days before you did.

Let's call it "like-minded," shall we? I don't think there's a Huey Lewis/Ray Parker, Jr. thing going on here.

First I've seen that JMS is a consensus 1st rounder. Actually don't think I've seen a mock with him in the first. He's deserving, but centers rarely go in the first.

You're a funny kind of guy, aren't you ?

I had Adetomiwa Adebawore going in the 4'th round in my Feb. 5 mock (Post #12), a full month before the Combine, I moved him up to the 3'rd round Mar. 5, two days into the Combine, then in my next mock and ever since have had him in the 2'nd round. Now there is talk of his being gone in the 1'st, and although deserving imo, I'm still holding on to the hope that he falls to us.
Like minded ? I don't believe so.

River's 2023 Mock 2.0 ...

This should be my final 2023 season mock until the Combine is complete. I'm sticking with previous posted thoughts about avoiding Free Agents this next year due to CAP limitations and to preserve future Compensation picks we are likely to to receive from free agency losses following our 2022...

When you see a car drive by that is the same make and model as your car, do you presume the owner copied you?

Sorry, but I really don’t study your mocks, so if there is commonality, it is organic.

For the record, Adeboware was on my “watch list” I posted in November, then listed as the No. 20 prospect on the draft board I posted in the first week of February. He’s moved up since then due to a strong Senior Bowl week, followed by an outstanding Combine.

Let’s hope he falls to us.

Can’t wait until the draft. Since no FAs, this is the only way we’re adding players (except maybe cheap ones later down the road). Idc if they are mid/late round guys. Fresh meat is exciting nonetheless. Hoping & praying for some great draft luck this year for the Rams.

Oh damn free agency is over and I missed it?

I get excited when I see the Rams looking @ DL's


Rams have four DL'ers entering free agency next March. We have no idea if AD will be here or not.
