He played in the slot, but like 40 percent of his snaps. Nacua is a matchup hunter. I wouldn't put him exclusively at any spot. But you'll need other guys who can also move around if you want to move Nacua. And Mcvay definitely loves moving around his receivers.Nacua was in the slot considerably more last season. So I think it's a perfectly reasonable assumption that will be his role in 2026.
There are many options at wideout in this class. In fact there will probably be a wideout among the ones who slot from let's say 10-40 who ends up being elite at this level.
Nothing against Lemon, who is a fine wideout. But he's gonna be a slot in the NFL and there are options with upside who project better in the role we will need from them.
Agreed. His size was his only knock. I want not expecting him to come in at right around where plenty of other corners play.Ponds is a 2nd round lock now IMO. May even sneak into bottom of 1st. Dude is a baller and with that arm length, he's essentially taller where he needs to be.

Interesting. Love is on that list.
At this rate, corners are performing so well that I'm starting not to want one at 13. There's like 6 guys who I think can be #1 on a good team.CB Chris Johnson looks very smooth in the drills and posted a 4.4 40. Very impressive. Could be a target at 29 unless he moves up higher than that. I know some here were touting him weeks ago. The dude looks like a player as his numbers & drills match the tape.

I’m not going near this guy in the 1rst round.Well if he has good medicals (which are the most important thing for him at the Combine) and then kills his pro day he'll be ok as draft boards go. But I'm already leery of that injury history with him so not a fan of that decision.
Yes, exactly. And if the Rams believe Lemon is the one elite guy, take him. There are only so many Pro Bowl and All Pro caliber players in the Draft. If the Rams think Lemon is that guy, they shouldn't arbitrarily restrict themselves.There are many options at wideout in this class.
