Keep saying it: he's a perfect fit for the Rams. The type of corner I want in this secondary. Tough as hell on the underneath BS out wide. Ball aware, lot of snaps in position with his head right. Sticky in coverage without being all grabby.
Again I expect he is going to own the slot this year. Last year his slot snaps spiked. They're gonna spike again this year as it's his best usage. He's got the size and RAC to excel in that role for McVay so that's what I expect it's gonna be. If you'd like to revisit this and show I'm wrong after the season that's cool, do it. But the allure with wideout is finding that WR3 who can duel with Ferg (hopefully) for snaps. That type of competition would be very valuable.
I dislike the Ducks. It's hard to watch them. But it felt like he was a great screen weapon. I should watch his full games, but oh hell on second thought fuck that.
Who did he push out? Someone has to be dropping if he's rising. Same with Styles.
Love it. Likely just owning pick #13 due diligence. Unfortunately.
Agree. I have been thinking that for awhile now. There will be better value at 29 and 61...even 93 you can likley get a guy who can play.
Yeah, kind of like Nacua on steroids when it comes to blocking and still being a dynamic receiving threat. Not that he is in Nacua's class at this stage, but if he has a head on his shoulders, his potential is extremely high.
He was my first draft crush this year and now getting hooked again. Considering Davis Allen & Parkinson will likley be gone after next year TE is a need and he is a freak on top of that. He can play out wide and crush guys in the running game. Like a bigger version of Nacua.
I've been thinking about him paired with Ferg for several months now. We'd be leaning way into 13. I'm wondering if we would have a mismatch against even great defenses like Seattle?
Those two could be a complimentary pair of TE’s. As you eluded to, the Rams need to find some one on one matchup nightmares in addition to just Nacua.
The more I think about this the more it makes sense. Out of any prospect in this draft, Sadiq is the pick that leans furthest into the identity that we started to form last year on offense. Toughness, versatility, explosiveness, all of the things this team is looking for in a weapon that will make an impact in both the pass and the run game.
Sadiq was only targeted 3 times last year on vertical seam routes however he caught all 3 of those targets for TDs. He clearly got separation with his speed on vertical routes and for some reason Oregon just decided not to use him that way very often. Sadiq doesn't really have much control over his average depth of target being only 3.2 yards, that's on the playcaller and the QB making the decision to throw the ball.
I think that's a bit of an oversimplification.
Hard to disagree with any of these points. Scouts will have access to a lot of practice/camp insights so they'll have an idea if it's a deficiency or usage issue when it comes to his underwhelming production in the passing game.
