Lol I feel 99.9% confident Gilbert won't be in the league in 5 years let alone 12+
Wish I could be that confident on any player!

Why would it trouble you if fans have faith in late round picks? Until proven otherwise, why not talk about their potential? But that aside, they're not necessarily "relying" on late round picks to fill major holes. You can only draft so many 1-3 rounders every year, so you have to take your chances in the late rounds too. Stacy, Zuerlein, Jones, Sims, etc. Guy like that make for good depth and could eventually emerge as starters (and do). Troubling or no, I'm gonna continue to look at those guys like they have a shot.What troubles me about our fans is the faith that we have in all our late round picks. Yes some guys pan out I.e stacy but that is the exception. Its hard to be build a team to contend for the hardest division in football if you're relying on 6th and 7th round picks to fill major holes.
Rams have a huge hole at S. Im not 100% sure our pass rush will be able to hide our problems in the secondary.
I don't know that it is faith as much as it is hope. We have all seen late round picks make it in the NFL. While it is not as likely as our early round picks, there are often late rounders that stick and play meaningful snaps. I think every team relies to an extent on hitting on a couple late rounders. I really doubt you could go around the league and find one that hasn't and doesn't. Of course it's the exception when a late rounder cracks the starting line-up or is a key part of the rotation but most of us have said all along that there was no way 12 picks were going to make this roster. But it was a very deep draft - so I guess we'll see.What troubles me about our fans is the faith that we have in all our late round picks. Yes some guys pan out I.e stacy but that is the exception.

He hasn't even played one single down in the NFL yet. Just wondering where this 99.9% confidence comes from.Lol I feel 99.9% confident Gilbert won't be in the league in 5 years let alone 12+
