DRAFT Day two: Rds 2 and 3

[Ram_Rally]

Not really undersized; 6'3", 294 lbs. is about the same size as The Conductor, if not bigger.

His arm length i mean. But I did thank of Turner too.

Doesn't matter as much on DTs. AD didn't have huge arm length himself. Turner doesn't have long arms.

Fans handwringing over a #2 pick twelve months from now. Rams have been wheelin n dealin picks for the last 12 years.
It’s worked out well no?


Some fans just overvalue picks I guess.

 

[jrry32]

They were right about the run on DTs.

 

[Flatlyner]

I can’t believe they went edge/DT. Those were the two huge needs - which I thought would mean we’d go WR/RB. Pleasantly surprised by Snead.

I'm happy about it. I didn't think they'd be able to resist.

 

[muggmeister]

These folks announcing the picks really need to shut the fuck up...and just announce the pick. Annoying as hell. You had your moment(s) of fun or greatness but get over yourselves already. Worst part of the draft imo. Hope like hell Michael Irvin doesn't announce a pick.

I love guys like that. I’ll take that all day over a guy with more talent who takes plays off.

Agreed my Rams brother.

 

[jrry32]

Lassiter I was not high on. Only 1 successful CB has run that slow. In history.

I don't think that's correct. They said a 4.52 40 on the broadcast. But it seems there's some dispute over his 40 time. So if you're basing it on a slower time, that might be why.

 

[fanotodd]

Rams must have been really high on Fiske.

Or just really high!
Seriously, the two best defenders from one of the top defensive units in the country?
It’s so crazy, it just might work!

Michael Irvin, followed by Terrell Owens and drunk, half deaf Joe Namath…….

sorry, not sorry

A future 3rd wouldn't have been enough per the trade chart. Generally, the person moving up is more desperate so they may pay a premium.

Not so sure about that.

The PFF guys at first said there's no way that that was the correct compensation. That they must have been getting the wrong info. After confirming it, they did some math and said Carolina "won by 68%" -- no idea how they came up with that calculation, but the bottom line is, Rams overpaid. I'm sure the Panthers must've decided that the next time Snead comes calling begging to be fleeced, they won't say no. lol

Also Snead last night standing pat instead of trading for a different pick.

 

[Merlin]

Drunk Joe Namath is the real Joe Namath. Also the best Joe Namath.

Back to Back picks from the Maize & Blue

It matters. But you can overcome it. Fiske overcomes it by being insanely explosive and twitchy. Plus, his hands are quick and active, which mitigates it to a degree. Add in a motor that's always revved, and I think he'll be a good pick.

I feel like they paid a premium.

But I’m willing to wait and see how he performs before calling it an overpay.

They did not overpay. They didn't give up any of their four thirds this year and next, nor their first round pick next year. We moved up with a second and a fifth, the former pick in a weak year where we have multiple picks to play with.

Think he ran 4.65 at the combine. Thats bottom 6% result for a CB. Not sure when he ran a 4.52, pro day?
