He's a very hard one to get a gauge on for me. Talent wise he's a high pick but the injury hurts him. I guess it comes down to testing and that 40 time. Rams we know don't pay much attention to it but others do and it could vault him back up to where he should be.
Hope he tests shitty! lol
A couple guys on another site that are usually pretty good with their mocks don't have him high at all. One not in his 2 rounder the other not in his 3rd. Can change of course and they can be wrong but that's FWIW. That site that tracks his average in mocks has him at like 45 right now.
There's a ton to like with the TE's who will be there around where we draft in the 1st. Warren and Loveland could be gone but Taylor and Arroyo could be there for us or there bottom of 1st/top of 2nd.
It's early in the process but sounds like he might be TE 5 after the showing of Taylor and Arroyo at the Senior Bowl.
If the Rams draft a TE high, the player is going to be a competent blocker.
Hardest part about watching players (without watching the games), and I haven't watched any of their games yet, is getting any sense of their blocking as you'll generally not find it on highlights and if you do, it's a win. From what I understand Loveland and Taylor block fine but you just wouldn't want them blocking in-line and definitely not a DE (at this point).
It certainly did. Roseman is one lucky SOB. They needed a good d line man and Jalen Carter gets arrested and drops to them. Otherwise he goes top five. They need two CBs and both Mitchell and DeJean fall to them because its a draft full of QBs and offensive tackles. In most years they likely only have a shot at DeJean where they picked in round one, but no way would Mitchell have lasted that long.
Verse was and that made Fiske the best option for their plan.
I think Fannin and Taylor are those 25-45 types who are usually gone before we pick. Arroyo may bump both down (he looks like a more fluid athlete) but his injury concerns me. I want a TE who can deliver a decade of production or damn near.
A great pass rush (from four rushers) can make a good secondary look great.
I wouldn't go that far and say we shouldn't spend the first 2 picks on DB. I totally get why we most likely won't, but the unknown is what do we do in free agency and how do the Rams view this draft class. If 2 DBs that are high on their board are there for the taking, I wouldn't be opposed to it. Our defensive line has pass rushing chops big time and we do have a huge need there. Williams is not in the future plans, Durant is ok but coming up on a contract, Witherspoon is a FA again, and we had one rookie play well there and pretty much just a bunch of Jags after that. It's a possibility to me because of the fact that Snead sometimes likes to double dip at positions of need. I do find it more possible that we may spend a high pick there and a later one again, but it's anyone's guess.
Exactly saying we should or shouldn't do something is very premature. But ore free agency i say we shouldn't do this, there are need as big as CB. In a month this might change but right now it's an over reaction.
I'm hoping he doesn't go in the 2nd. Could see McVay targeting him in the 3rd as a weapon.
Agreed, there are way too many possibilities and questions to give a solid answer on where to address our roster. However, it makes it fun to do mocks because of all the possibilities. I'll call it being over zealous lol
