Are we better at third pass catcher than the media thinks?

Found this interesting actually looking at it.

Yup. And yes we all love Puka and Adams, but we have to be realistic. Puka plays a style that will get him injured more than most receivers and Adams will be 34 this year. I'm convinced we'll sign or trade for someone. Last thing McVay wants is to be limited in his play calling. Teams will adjust to the extra TEs. He's going to want the flexibility of multiple looks.
I don't doubt teams will try to make adjustments. What adjustments do you have in mind that they will make?
 
Seems like the Rams have more faith in Mumpfield than we do. We'll see. There were some promising flashes last year, but he has to do a better job of finishing catches. I wouldn't expect Klare to make a huge impact as a rookie, but I'm open to being pleasantly surprised. CJ Daniels could be an interesting one. Needs to clean up his route running, but he has savvy and the ability to make contested catches. Not going to expect much from a 6th round rookie, but it's possible he surprises. I wouldn't be surprised if the Rams add a vet to the WR room.

Yeah, he is a little Van Jeffersony. Doesn't just go get the ball. Hopefully a big jump this year.
 
Can we trade all our TE's for Brock Bowers?

It seems we are heading toward 05 personnel with a bunch of JAGs.

05 Personnel will be funny :part:but likely not effective.:not:

The Rams are too good to get a TE like Bowers. They tried to get him but the price was too high. That's why McVay was sulking after the Rams picked Verse.

I think Ferguson and Klare will be a good pairing into the future. Klare looks really promising.

Don't agree there. He went after the ball, but he struggled securing it from hits or contact with the ground.
Yeah, agree here. I haven't watched any highlights vids on him, but in the game highlights vids he seemed to get his catches over the middle, in traffic frequently, and taking the hit after the catch. He is pretty good in that situation over all , I thought.
Jefferson was more of a sidelines route type of route runner / ball catcher who wasn't much at making the contested catch.

Mumpfield IMO, should have secured the catch against Seattle, which would have put the Rams ahead. Agree, he needs to work on securing the football going to the ground. Also he seems to have average separation from his breaks underneath, that is why, he cannot separate and throws off the timing of the route.

Whittington seems a little stiff and you can identify why he was a running back in high school. Which is why, he tends to be a little too stiff-legged into sharp-breaking routes showcasing his below average burst in existing from the route.

I have confidence in C.J. Daniels furthermore I want to see Pressley, Edwards, Scott & Williams in preseason, while maybe hoping the Rams might also add another via free agency before September Morn.

I disagree, as you see with Puka and Adams (and Kupp, Woods, Robinson, etc...) there's enough separation that they gain YAC, very little YAC available with this kid.

As it stands now, he's a small possession receiver. He can be a useful player and maybe he takes a jump in year two (this is coming as someone who saw flashes in college from him) but more likely he's a solid 4 or 5 but then if he can't offer ST help...
CJ Daniels is 6'2" and ran below 4.5 at home pro day.
