if we lost Jenks and Hayes I'd be pretty pissed

We'll try to re-sign him, but I believe the Rams may be hard-pressed to compete in a bidding war with the rest of the league. Hayes isn't cheap for a rotational guy and will probably want a raise. He'll be 31 next season and could probably start for a few teams, so i'm guessing he'll want to go out for the best money offered. jmo.

Goff is the one I really want.

Hayes followed Fisher to St. Louis and took a little less to do so, the first time. I really don't think he is a starter anywhere. He is not great against the run. I still think they franchise Jenkins if need be. They will be too thin at corner otherwise. They could still draft Fuller and let Jenkins walk next year.

Not super high on Fuller right now.

Like RF503 I don't fancy myself a good QB evaluator, I'm just wary of the combination of hype plus our desperate need for a QB savior.

I don't think he will be Jenkins level but you don't usually get shut down corners in rounds 2-3

Not as high on Fuller as I am on Boddy-Calhoun in the fourth round. We're probably going to need a guy who can play slot corner because of Joyner possibly moving to free safety. Fuller can't, and we might have bigger needs than cornerback.

If we let McLeod walk (which I think we will) I'd rather we just drafted a FS than move Joyner. Not a fan of moving Joyner to FS. Wasn't a fan of moving up to get him in the first place.

I have to disagree. Unless you're thinking about drafting Jalen Ramsey, there really isn't a free safety in this class that I feel would be better than Joyner. Huge fan of moving up for Joyner, huge fan of moving him to a better position where he can start on every down and leave cornerback duties to Jenkins, Johnson, and Gaines.

Are you just assuming about Joyner moving to free safety? Or did you read something from a coach?

I'm assuming. But it's likely. The only other depth they have at the position is Davis and Bryant. The free safety class is weak, like in most years, Jalen Ramsey aside, who can play anywhere in the secondary. Cornerback position is very strong. I figure that we move Joyner from depth, and he's been talked as a safety by a lot of people on here I respect.

I'd rather put Joyner at FS. The dude can tackle, hit, and looked good in college patrolling center-field. Rather not spend a high pick on a FS and trust a rookie at such a key spot when we have a guy on our roster capable of playing it.

Plus if you retain Jenkins and Johnson with Gaines coming back, you have 3 starting caliber CBs right there. Joyner has been very good in the slot and I think he may be better suited as a FS. He and McLeod are very similar style of players, and Joyner is the rich mans version.

Count me as someone not on board with Goff. Im more on board with Lynch physically but im not sure how he will do mentally. This just doesnt seem like a great QB class unfortunately.

That's what makes it fun....
And I'm all for moving TJ McDonald to FS....but I'm not cool with losing any corners...esp. Jenkins.
Goff guy, Cook guy, Lynch maybe guy. Jacoby Brissett or Hackenberg later round guy

 

[dieterbrock]

I still am a fan of Brandon Doughty but at this stage it's obvious we don't have to room for a developmental qb.
When it comes to qb I'm a big fan of mechanics and love Goff release. And thanks to the Carson Wentz crowd I watched some video on him and his release is pretty sweet. (This years Jimmy Garopollo)
Not a fan of Lynch. Release looks a big long

 

[Athos]

So far all I've needed to see is the SDSU tape from draft breakdown to know how much Cals offensive line sucks rank monkey ass.

Goff appears to handle the blitz well. Quick release. An ugly spiral, but nothing 15lbs of muscle and improved for work can't help. He's throwing all his back foot a bit because the pressure is in his face and the ball still gets to where it needs to be.

I'll have more thoughts when I watch more.
