4th Rd / Pick #117 - Jarquez Hunter, RB, Auburn

[Noregar]

They only gave up a 6th (190) to move up.

 

[CoachAllred]

I wouldn't mind that at all. I'm not the biggest Corum fan and I would like to see his explosive run element added to the offense.

Pass pro is the concern which is why I think they plug him into the system, he takes a year to learn as #3 before bumping up to RB1 or RB2 next year.

Hoping Corum Takes a leap forward in year two.
Also hoping Jaquez Pushes his way on to field this year.


"for teams looking to impose their will on the ground."

That would be the RAMS No Doubt

If a RB cannot pass protect for Matthew, that RB cannot start - unofficial but firm Sean McVay mandate.

 

[kmramsfan]

My gripe is not about the player, I just wish we had more draft capital before pick 195 as there are players who can possibly help straight away. Not least, an OT LB and nickel

I like the fact that Hunter has the speed to take it home, power to run through you, and the twitch to break your ankles if needed. Love KW, but his ball security issues are statistically not an issue with Hunter.
Trade KW while he's got great value.
It appears that Snead Dog will probably fill the CB, LB and maybe the OT cupboards in the 6th and 7th rounds, and some UDFA's ........... as usual.

 

[den-the-coach]

This is a good back who brings some speed to the RB room. Could also see him returning kicks this year. I like this addition to the offense.

The Rams loved Hunter and of course Les Snead is an Auburn Alum. Historically, after HOF Kevin Greene the school has not been good to our beloved Los Angeles Rams, with the likes of Greg Robinson, Tre Mason, Wayne Gandy, James Bostic and Brian Smith.

 

[TheTackle]

This will be a debate where there is no loser. Rams have a stacked RB roster and I'm here for it

Agreed. There is plenty of mid round capital in that room but so far the returns on investment are impressive. I wish we could say the same for OT

As for LB, there’s been NO investment bar one pick (now leading a rising defense, in our division, against us) and it has without doubt hurt us over the last few seasons. I’m already looking at other teams rosters wondering if a plus vet on a relatively high contract might shake free. That could help us massively

I feel better at CB after we picked up a 1st round pick for free who fits our scheme based on his college film

LB and OT could sink us with an injury

I remember thinking Brian Smith was going to be a stud. Those drafts in late 80's were so dissapointing. Set the stage for the 90's misery.

Don't worry I had to go take a cold shower just after reading that already.

A murderer's row of failure there...

 

[OnceARam]

Actually reminds me of another Auburn back with his profile: Tre Mason.

This is the first thing I thought as well. That and... oh, Less...

Damn sounds like my neighbors (hardcore country boys) would love this kid. Not kiddin either. These fuckers invited me over for a BBQ and the chili had squirrel meat in it.

You could well be right.
Me saying he may displace the 2 spot from Corum is not a slam ore me disliking Corum. He just offers something, potentially, that Williams, Corum and Rivers do not.

Do we resign Kyren now?

Grade Analysis

Chiseled, high-energy, super-productive SEC RB with the cutting skill and contact balance to thrive in the NFL. Vision of an experienced runner. Sharp cuts. Love his North-South approach. Another smart Rams selection. My comparison was ironically Kyren Williams. (Chris Trapasso)

https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/draft-tracker/

I think the mantra of only resigning a RB if they are special should apply. Kyren is good not special. Let him hit FA and get us a comp pick. I have faith in Corum and Hunter to be just fine back there.

Jarquez Hunter, Auburn (5-9 ½, 210, 4.47)
Said one scout: “He loves football. Had an episode and was on suspension for several months during the summer. That may push him down a round. Fourth would be the earliest. Jarquez is a tough runner. He’s sort of compact. Can catch the ball pretty well. He’d be a good little piece for somebody.”

Shit. Tre Mason comparison might be a little too apt. Hope his mental health is under control; I know from personal experience that it’s hard.
