Jourdan's mock and predictions

[Allen2McVay]

I’m not subscribing just to see a mock. Could somebody please post the picks?

One of the posters above provided a link.

Like the Paul, Lundt and Brashard Smith picks.

The rest is all a bit meh.

It’s like paying to use a public restroom. I’ll piss in the bushes outside before doing it.

Most do that anyways regardless of a restroom being available.

That is a huge trade down from 26 to 55, but picking up multiple picks including next year too would be huge. Covered all areas of need including doubling down on ILB with Paul, who is great in coverage and King, who is a thumper stopping the run. Of all the QB's mentioned, I have not seen Will Howard. I loved Howard at Ohio State and he is big, plus has the ability to extend plays, however, when he does run at times is not very nimble. Great leader and is all bout we not me. Smith out of SMU is a great fit at RB, former WR and very stout in pass protection too.

I like the part about picking up extra picks next year. I’m not so keen about the picks she made though. However, in this draft I don’t expect a lot of slam dunk types that we are instantly crazy about. Especially if the Rams trade back.

Definitely don’t want to wait that long for a TE in this draft. There is more talent at the top in this draft than we’ve seen in a long time and I feel like this draft just gives us a leftover.

Lot to like about Fidone. Dude can cut well for a big man and looks like he's got a big route tree in him that went unused.

He also has that dawg in him as a blocker.

I think Fidone will be a JAG. He’d be another Hunter Long and won’t upgrade the passing game. I’d be disappointed if he’s the only tight end they get from this draft.

I prefer Josh Simon if they wait to pick one.

I’d like to request with all due respect to not post articles that are asking for $$ to read. Not sure why but it rubs me the wrong way.

I didnt have to pay and was able to read the article?

I'd love to see a side by side of this mock and what actually happens. I think it might show how much "inside" info she has

I thought the LB's she picked were great with the combination of Paul & King plus Lundt could develop, which they need. I do believe the Rams will end up with one of the Iowa State receivers because of Nate Scheelhaase. Riley good value for CB at 125 and you know how I feel about Will Howard although I actually believe I would prefer McCord, but Howard was a great fit in Columbus, whereas McCord fit like a glove on O..J.

Again she traded down from 26 to 55 and picking up 2nd & 3rd round picks in 2026 is huge and not sure who was on the board when she made the selections either.

I see that now.... more ammo to move up & get our future QB to study under Matt in his last year.
Or just moar pix after we get that Jax QB in FA lololol

Where do you see that?

They had a sale on yesterday, think it's 8 bucks a month now 2 bucks. Well worth it, check it out!

Possibly a JAG but dude already a better blocker than Hunter Long.

I think she's directionally fairly on point but that's about it when it comes to draft. She's no Allbright who tipped the Nix pick in the most opaque way last year.

I hear that, just that in today's age of free information overload available on the interwebz I think someone who's reporting behind a paywall should know a little something more than the yahoos on twitter, espn, etc etc

Fair. I will say, Jourdan is a bit anxious, seems worried about stepping on toes in a way that other reporters aren't. I she's great in a lot of ways but that's probably the biggest thing she needs to work on. I would not be surprised if she has a clue where Sugarman has been but she'll never tip it.

Allbright last year wrote a tweet with the first letter of every sentence saying "It's Bo Nix." Guy knows his stuff and has some hutzpah.

Well, if the Rams actually make that type of trade with the Chargers, then poof, there is your reporting behind the paywall trying to be indiscrete, but providing her readers viable information.

FWIW, I have not seen a scenario where the Rams trade down that far accumulating picks for 2026.

I mean, she told you what her predictions were in the article, they did not include who she targeted in the mock, just what direction rams would go.

She made that trade with an online mock draft calculator so don't think you can glean anything from it other than her prediction that they will trade back...

Predictions:

• The Rams’ first pick (wherever it is) will be an offensive skill player OR an offensive lineman.

• The Rams will trade back to recoup their second-round pick spent on Braden Fiske in 2024 and more efficiently capitalize on the stronger parts of this draft (second, third and fourth rounds).

• The Rams will draft a middle linebacker prior to the fifth round.

• The Rams will draft a quarterback with a top-100 pick.

She doesnt need to draft the correct players either, but you can see the gist of what she's selling and your boldface is spot on

Just to clarify: those are her predictions
