Greg Robinson, Cyril Richardson, Gabe Jackson...i Want 2/3

[RamsOfCastamere]

6'5 320, 6'5 340, 6'3 340...talk about beefin' up the line! There's one thing that's not coachable, and that's size and speed, and I want the biggest, toughest, sloppiest muhfuggas opening holes for Stacy. 2nd/3rd and short should not be a problem.

I want Sammy Watkins with one of the first picks, then Greg Robinson and one of the others. If we get Matthews, then one would be okay unless we do not sign Saffold.

You want big, sloppy and mean, sign Incognito. Im not concerned with college lineman being huge, Im a lot more concerned with how raw they are, first step quickness, balance ect.

Only one of them are tackles, if you're worried about pass protection. Both of these guards strengths are being nimble on their feet.

Richardson was a tackle that moved inside. According to cbssports, he's their #2 rated guard in the draft.

Gabe Jackson is the fifth rated guard. He weakness is not being raw and slow, just not aggressive enough at times.

Richardson 6'5 330
Zach Martin 6'4 305

Both will be available to draft in the late first early 2nd. Both guys will start right away in the NFL

I would also love to draft LT Lewan 6'6 310 from Michigan. He will be availablein the mid to late first round. If the Rams are able to trade down and acquire tge 3 big men listed above...then the rams will have 3 new starters in the front line.

I am not sold on Long or Safford to hold down their position, both are injury prone

Hmmm….interesting. Getting a G with enough size/strength to dominate NFL DTs and still have first step speed and enough lateral movement to excel in pass protection is tough. Seems like a couple of good prospects. Reading the links it would seem Richardson is a second round type of pick….in fact on that mock draft site I ended up taking him in the second round if memory serves. If the Rams trade down grabbing a guy like Richardson to team with a first round T pick could go a long way to solving Oline problem long term.

And look at how HUGE the whiners line is vs ours, particularly the interior:

LT Staley: 6'5 325 LG Iupati: 6'5 331 C Goodwin: 6'3 318 RG Boone: 6'8 300 RT Davis: 6'5 323

LT Long: 6'7 319 LG Smith: 6'4 297 C Barnes: 6'4 306 RG Saffold: 6'5 314 RT Barksdale 6'5 326

Williams: 6'6 320
Wells: 6'2 300
Jones: 6'5 306
Person: 6'4 299
Dahl: 6'5 308

Yes, skill is important as well (C. Williams smh) but I'd rather have a bigger talent than a smaller.

Saffold is up to around 330 lbs nowadays, btw. It's a big reason behind why he seems so much more effective in the run game lately.

I'm so excited to see our line in action. We're beefed up this year!

Long- 322 Robinson- 332 Wells- 302 Saffold- 332 Barksdale- 326

 

[rdlkgliders]

That's just a few accumulative inches smaller than the Stanford starting O line

I agree with the Lannister imp.

It would've been nice to add another one of those guys to the middle. Had the Saffold to Oakland deal gone through, I think it probably would have happened.
