I miss the Rams having a good safety. To remember the last ones I think I have go all the way back to Keith Lyle, Vince Newsome, Michael Stewart and of course Nolan Cromwell. They had some good corners through the years too.
Right or wrong, LB is devalued in this system and to a lesser extend, so is safety.
I think they are at least trying to extend Jones. Inside or Middle Linebackers are not as highly valued by most teams these days. The few I can think of run 4/3 base defenses. (Ravens, Browns, 49ers)
Oh def, he's good, a find. Just cause it's devalued doesn't mean they won't throw some money at it. Can't imagine them spending any money to bring in more LBs though in FA though.
Just at corner alone he looks solid. Of course DBs are tough to really know without crunching All 22 and bouncing assumptions off the coaching staff. Feels like a guy who will get dinged due to ethnicity, it is what it is there, and the Rams may be the team that benefits.
Interestingly enough. The PFF guys claim that to them, Terrion Arnold is still the best corner in the draft, he is outstanding at man coverage. However they said he looked a bit lost in zone coverage. Most teams run mostly zone. I wonder if he drops and goes after guys like Wiggins and Mitchell because they are good at both.
Just curious if you think NFL teams will ding DeJean due to his ethnicity?
Seems to be a bit muddy between Arnold and Mitchell for who's 1-2 this draft. Wiggins weight seems problematic and heard nothing from teams about them liking him or dinging him and that's just weird. Usually you hear one or the other. I don't think that's a good sign.
I will always encourage self-exploration. Perhaps I should look at how I'm communicating what I believe to be good questions and well reasoned arguments.
It's a reality. It would be naive to think the numbers won't make teams gun shy when considering a white player for corner. These are premium picks and there are other options that don't come with that element, so maybe a team or two who are looking corner opt for one of them instead.
