I know Tutu is absolutely not a kick returner.
It takes more than speed to be a punt returner.
It's takes a certain mindset. They can force it on him all they want.
Nothing is going to change.
We need to be looking elsewhere for a returner. If we don't
get someone to fill that position it could cost us badly in the playoffs.

I would give up a late pick for Cordelle Patterson.

Would solve a few issues. KR, I think he has done punts as well....Emergency RB, jet sweep guy, and even a 4th WR or just a clear out guy to push the secondary a bit.

Lol.. it's funny because it's true.
I really try to look at draft classes, rather than players and where drafted. It's too easy to get hyper focused on "well they missed on the second rounder.. you can't do that!"
If we look at the entirety.. they have two starters from this year's class already, and that's not bad when you've got no first. It's likely to get better over the next few years with Bobby Brown eventually being a starter.
Garrett has potential and Skowronek looks like a real football player.
Let's just imagine that all our draftees were moved up a pick and that Tutu was actually our last pick of the draft. I would be okay with the draft then lol.

I'm with you here Philly. At this point a returner may impact this roster more than anything else.
And you use DJax roster slot. Easy, easy.
It’s a black hole right now and CP can make it a plus and have some impact on offense, potentially.

Was as impressed today as I was with him in the preseason. Love the attitude as much as the performance on the field. I think it was very smart that he got his first start today against a lesser talented team, maybe could have started the last couple weeks too but that's just nitpicking. Very much look forward to him in the middle of this defense.

I've taken to perusing the weekly photos on the Rams website after every game and gotta say they do a great job with it. This week has a ton of good ones.

I'm so glad that E-Jo got to strut his stuff. I had a premonition about him being a JJ3 type: someone who isn't necessarily highly rated who becomes a late third round pick and dominates from the get-go.

I'm so much more comfortable with him than Reeder.
With Reeders boneheaded move on yet another onside kick, his days may be numbered…..

Yet another reason to be pissed at DJax and his selfish attitude, IMHO. Looks like DJax was about to have the opportunity to return punts (and he's got a fantastic track record there.)

The guy is not a WR but he's been a revelation for ATL as a RB. Don't see them parting with him for peanuts. Not sure we need him. but he could add juice in the RB room and as a returner.

They're a fun browse and I wonder if more people have picked up doing what I do and watch the post game pressers live.

I don't know.
I know Tutu is absolutely not a kick returner.
In preseason, he sure looked like a WR.

Too early to make a complete judgement... but he wasn't a kick returner in college and it doesn't look like he's one in the NFL.
And round two is pretty early for a possible 4th or 5th receiver. It already looks like Skowronek is ahead of him so that could mean TuTu is No.5

If they planned on moving on from Woods contract this winter then they may need to rethink it.

Yes a returner would be nice. The Rams lost two. And last year it seemed like a bandaid approach. The entire ST unit has been below average. They need an overhaul.

Van was # 4 last year and Tutu is just a very different option. We’ll see how it works out.
Like I’ve said, I try not to get too worked up about any one pick.
