Not a huge Pittman fan but I agree with coach. Sub in a RB in there at 57 or 104 and it's a pretty darned nice draft IMO.
Pittman is going to be a great WR, he has a lot of coveted traits and attributes that will make him successful not to mention his NFL pedigree. I wish we could draft him but he's probably the 5th best WR available.

He's good enough but he's not what we need this year from a WR pick IMO.

A tall, fast, sure handed receiver my man? Guy reminds me of a bigger Woods.

Got it a 4.55 is fast now. We're going to replace a 4.3 40 guy with a 4.5 and call it good? McVay's offenses has had Cooks and DJax as it's speed guys and we're gonna throw that out the window and go with 2 versions of Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp. Nobody to take the top off the defense anymore? McVay no longer wants a speed guy?

Can pretty much include Reynolds in that "version" as well.
Agreed we need a guy to take the top off, something Watkins/Cooks were supposed to be

4.52 is Michael Pittman's actual 40 combine time not 4.55

Who had a 4.55 40 time since that is slow?

Wait what? Isaac Bruce couldn't take the top off a defense in any way shape or form?

Having a sub 4.55 40 time totally makes you a better WR with hands as Cooks demonstrates here.

I don't think McVay is a so absolute minded that he 'only' wants a speedy guy with talent right there for the taking and can make it work.

2015 DeSean Jackson went down for 6.5 games and they still ended up as the number 10 offense with quite a producing WR core that had supposed non typical WR's.

McVay is a offensive mastermind and to think he couldn't make it work is absurd. Coaches evolve over the years and with the 3 years has HC now I'm sure Mcvay is a bit more savvy than his Washington days to stay to true form.

But alas we shall see if the WR we draft is a 'speed guy' as you prophesize. I will be interested to see how this plays out! lol

Sorry just gotta laugh. You got it you win. Ike was the speed guy not Akhim. And McVay didn‘t add Watkins his first year then Cooks his second year for their speed it was for their big bodied possession ability it was Robert Woods who added the speed to the offense. And I sincerely hope Mr Pittman can forgive me for cheating him his .03 seconds on his 40 time that difference changes everything.

I have however learned my lesson, though I’m not sure actually which it was. I spoke honestly about Pittman and I’ll never slight him again, or was it a USC player I shouldn’t slight? It’s funny though I actually like Pittman Imjust don’t think his skill set is what the Rams need at WR in this draft. I appoplogize @bomebadeeda my opinion has derailed your mock thread.

Which there are a few of us that will agree to disagree apparently, which is fine. Nobody always agrees 100%. Will be interesting to see what we do. Good day.

My whole point was that Pittman wasn’t a speed guy to take the top off a defense. So far people aren’t beating that with me most seem to be agreeing. So far everybody seems to be telling me McVay no longer wants or needs a speedier WR. While Reynolds doesn’t have top end 40 time speed he was very effective going over the top coming into the league. That was one of the strengths of his college game. Michael Pittman as I’ve said is a nice WR and he could make some team very happy. I just don’t think his abilities are what the Rams need to compliment Woods, Kupp, Higbee and Everett. I think as Jrry said it creates a log jam of similar type receivers.

Why you not a Pittman fan the kid had over 100 catches and almost 1200 yards plus USC had two other great WRs which really shows how good he was.
And only 5 drops in all of his college career

For the record I know most (if not all....) would prefer Higgins, He went (in the mock....) off the board the first pick of 2nd round. Or he would have been my selection.
That's okay. Not a Huggins fan personally

Don’t care about his production tbh. Pittman is ok but he doesn’t replace Cooks. There’s no speed to his game he isn’t an over the top or beat anybody with speed. If we were replacing Woods or Cooks then maybe but we don’t need a Pittman especially with Higbee‘s emergence last year. Even then he’s uninspirin.
I'd push back on this a little. I think Pittman offers more verticality than he's given credit for. Definitely not a specialist though.

You were right, 4.46 40 time Van Jefferson proved me wrong, but I'm still going to call you Al Davis! :D lol

He's got speed and he's played all the WR spots I think but I'm not sure he's the home run hitter over the top guy I thought we'd take. Good route runner and good speed though.

Be honest have you seen his tape? He reminds me so much of Ike.
