I would not bitch if Zion Young was the pick at #13, especially if everyone is so quick to throw BY overboard.

As a Mizzou fan, Zion Young is not a first round prospect and not a person I want us to draft because of his personality on (he's a total hothead and undisciplined as shit; you look at the Alabama tape in particular where he helped give the Crimson Tide the game with multiple drive-extending personal fouls) and off the field (a count of drunk driving in December of last year and a count of misdemeanor assault in 2023, the latter that he got suspended for).

Talented as hell, but with a ten-cent brain. Not someone I'd be happy to see us select; I trust Gabe Jacas (Illinois) much more if we're looking for a big athletic edge rusher.

Thats too bad. The “ten cent brain” and all. Big and talented guy, otherwise.

If you check out the 4 round mock I copied/pasted above it had ZY going in the 2nd round, Jacas lasting until the 3rd.

I really like Jacas and had him going to the Rams (also the 3rd round) in my first mock posted. If Jacas lasts until the 3rd, I would love to see the Rams make a play for him. He could line up inside as well as outside like Verse does on occasion. That would be quite a rotation at that position—Verse and Jacas.

Sounds like a certain Edge from Tennessee that we gifted the Falcons last year. I'm a even bigger no on him now, and so will the Rams be.

Found this interesting. The Rams traded down with the lions and nabbed Cooper in the 1rst. They followed that up with Dunker in the 2nd. I would not complain about that.
That trade is very reasonable and likely the target for a trade up team. I love that there is some many draftable options at 17: Cooper Jr, McCoy, Sadiq, Simpson (gone in this mock but I expect will be there - Jets are not taking him in the 1st this year, they have a boatload of assets to take their franchise guy next draft), Mesidor (Rams like guys seasoned out of college), Tyson, Lemon (doubt this).

Extra 3rd (this must be in '27 as it doesn't show in the mock) and a 5th is a big win for us here.

Summary:
1.17 - Cooper Jr, WR
2.61 - Dunker, OG/OT
3.91 - N.Tucker, Edge (inexperienced/undersized but intriguing athletic traits)
