Plugged-in Peter Schrager mocks us Makai Lemon today...

2026 NFL mock draft: Schrager projects 32 first-round picks - ESPN https://share.google/u6UplrGhlqJOlGmXg
I see that the OT's are climbing the board as I assumed they would/will. I'd say its probably a 95% guarantee that at minimum 2 OT's go before Rams, could easily be 3.

Been watching more film on Cooper and starting to think he is the guy that works best on our team in 2026. I LOVE Lemon (and I'm also a USC guy), but, he offers similar play to Puka. While that is not necessarily a bad thing since Puka is the best WR in the league, I think Coopers play would compliment Puka more. Add in that potentially we could trade down a small amount and still get him, and I think that's the way I'm going to be hoping we go.

Just saw that Rhett Lewis of NFL.com has mocked Omar Cooper Jr to the Rams at 13.

Also, only 1 OL picked in the top 13, so...
 
I'd go back to what my initial point was. All I hear is the tackles in this draft aren't good enough. So no if the tackle isn't good enough I'm not trading up and giving away extra picks for a guy who everyone says isn't good enough.

My whole premise in this discussion centers around the talk here that the OT's aren't good enough the draft only has 6 or 7 1st round players. And somehow with both of those things people think somebody is going to trade up for an OT. If the 1st round or day 2 guys aren't good enough why trade up for them let alone draft them at all. Go with a day 3 guy.
Well, this is from GBN... Freeling obviously has moved up and teams believe in him. So a playoff team wanting a top OT, he will be gone and they are down to only a few others left worthy of possibly starting this year. Someone will move up for an OT and possibly even for Ioane for the best OL in the draft.

Every media outlet and media person has an opinion and they don't always mesh. You know full well this and citing one media person changes absolutely nothing because we can grab multiple who will have the opposite opinion.

Sorry but this changes nothing.

True, but they are stating they have heard this from multiple sources.

I don't deny it. I don't doubt that there are other sources saying the opposite. Hell Peter Schrager just came out with a mock that has like 7 OT.

But you picked up a comment in the middle of a conversation and not sure you followed to where it started. All those comments were started by me saying the opinions of people around here, not on the web or in the draftnik community, but the comments around here had people talking down the OTs almost all of them. And we were discussing from that basis. I would love Fano or Mauigoa on the Rams but there are some who think they're only guards in spite of their game tape because of their arm length or other stuff. Just proves that opinions are all over the place. Same goes for WR, CB, QB etc etc etc
