"expert" Mocks

[Flatlyner]

I always like to see what the "experts" mock us leading up to the draft. Figure this might be a good place to reference them?

Athletic released one today:

26. Los Angeles Rams: Armand Membou, OT, Missouri​

The Rams could be looking at two new starting offensive tackles, and Membou (6-3, 315) has positional flexibility. He started for two seasons at right tackle but has the build for a potential move to guard, either in the short term or permanently. Either way, after measuring in with 34-inch arms at the Senior Bowl, he should have a shot at playing tackle fairly early in his NFL career.

Personally, don't like it at all. A guy that could maybe potentially play OT (but likely to play inside) is not something we should be taking at 26. If you are taking a OL, they really need to be an OT, which is our need. We are pretty stout and paid inside.

As a Mizzou fan, no, absolutely not. Membou played right tackle for us. He has never played left tackle in his college career. He does not have the athleticism nor size needed, and I refuse to take someone I know will only be a right tackle at most in the first fucking round.

We're set at OG, so this one makes no sense. Membou might stick at OT, but there's no way we should be taking an OL at #26 who isn't a slam-dunk OT.

If a player doesn't meet the 6'4" or 34" arm measurables there are questions about a move inside. I get it, but this doesn't take into account the players feet.

Membou would be an excellent choice at #26, IMO.
But this is one of the first so-called draft expert mocks I've seen where he lasts that long.

Los Angeles Rams

Josh Simmons
Ohio State · OT · Junior (RS)

If Matthew Stafford and the Rams move forward together, continuing to build a fortress around the veteran quarterback has to be a top priority.

I’m still getting used to seeing the Rams make picks in the first round after their seven-draft gap from 2017 to 2023! The team pored resources into the defensive line in the last draft. They flip the script and take care of the offensive line in the first round this year.
