Annual Bad Pre-Training Camp Roster Prediction

[Memphis Ram]

There were some reports that the rams were approached to trade back. They didn't want to for fear that Simpson would be picked. So it they were not so set on Simpson and they traded back, maybe a bigger CB and a quicker LB could have really strengthened the D.

Still that bigger CB would probably have to get the vast majority of his opportunities / reps replacing an injured starter. And that quicker LB in this draft class would probably have made more sense after a very significant trade down (Or even a trade up from the 2nd selection). After Styles, the next LB didn't even come off the board until a selection in the 40s.

All things being equal the QBs is the most important and the hardest position to fill, thus it makes more sense to utilize asset(s) to attempt to fill it when the opportunity arises.

Though I still believe that he could do more if given the opportunity, the idea of Whittington vs. the slot TEs is a good point.

McCullough? I'm just can't get my mind around how someone can only have 5 tackles (3 solo) on 310 special teams snaps. I'm not saying he played poorly on defense. But, he wasn't a difference maker and is replaceable, IMO.

Besides, keeping both Edwards, Daniels, and McCullough while only dropping Whittington would give me two more players to drop in my imaginary bad roster scenario.

Fair point on McCullough on STs—and they were bad.

As for the last paragraph, I think you need only lose one of those no-name, unproven LBs to accommodate Daniels. Edwards was already on your roster and I was looking at a straight swap of McCullough over Whittington.

 

[Memphis Ram]

Good size, but he ran a 4.57 at his pro day. Right now the two fastest WR's are Tyler Scott 4.44 and Xavier Smith 4.39.

Edwards looks faster to me.

I wonder if he got to train for it like the others.

As I recall he transferred to Kentucky expecting to get an extra year of eligibility prior to being signed as an UDFA.

That is true, he was denied another year of eligibility thus making him available for the draft. I agree about Edwards, he looks faster, but he does have the ability to make difficult catches.
