If Downs and the injury shit is true it hurts the Rams at 13. The guys I don't want seem to collect in that range. The guys who have injury or effort concerns like McCoy or Banks, or whose film isn't up to snuff and are all flexibility like Faulk, or who were slated to go in roughly that range and has alligator arms like Howell. It's kind of fucking irritating.
I've been hoping they go with Boston there. But I think there's a real chance Boston doesn't make it to us. He's too good a prospect to be a sure thing to be there when considering the group at large. As WRs go it feels likely to me that Tate > Lemon > Boston are all off the board by the time Dallas drafts. And Boston may go off before Lemon.
So I'm starting to wonder if the Rams may take a very long look at Freeling there because he's got the feet and athletics you want, and they never usually draft high enough to address LT. He would make a very nice swing OT on our depth chart.
Or maybe they look hard at McDonald, who adds the toughness we could use more of up front and wouldn't be too large a reach at 13.
Or maybe they consider one of the other OTs who looks like they may be a OG conversion, or perhaps even Ioane. This would be possible if they have decided internally that they're going to let one of their OGs walk in FA after the season.
Mesidor may be in play at 13 as well. We need to see what happens with Young in FA but if he leaves they will need a rotational Edge or a starter depending on what they think of last year's pick. Who I liked as a selection btw. But he was rather slow to find his feet in this defense so I am not sure what they're thinking if Young moves on.
Trade down would be great. But would anyone want to move up to that range? Maybe if Simpson is sitting there, I suppose. But 13 looks kind of ugly to me.
