For me, the only future that matters right now is Sunday...The rest is needless worry for me at this point..He got thrown into a very tough spot and acquitted himself very well...I hope he has a good game Sunday and we'll see about next year soon enough...

Certainly not. But they need to do better with those round 2 picks as well as their TE selections. Good thing is the Rams self-evaluate so they don't need us to tell them that.
McVay's round 2 picks...
2017: Everett
2018: Traded for Sammy Watkins
2019: Rapp
2020: Akers
2021: Tutu
Everett was McVay's first pick and if he had been any good he would be a star in this offense.
Watkins was a shitter who took snaps off and didn't move the needle all that much. Miss for the use of the pick IMO.
Rapp would probably be a star if Wade was our DC but he's not and we run a more diverse defense now. Not Rapp's fault he's in wrong defense.
Akers has had injury probs which is weird given his career in college. I still think he has a bright future though.
Tutu has room to be a good pick but thus far all we have is his little ass getting injured and missing time and McVay observing he needs to display more dedication.
Tutu can't be considered a bust. Hea hurt. But yes I agree there were better picks. Even if it wasn't a sexy pic the Rams could have used a more needed positionCertainly not.

You forgot Jefferson. He was a round 2 pick. I'd say he's a good pick.
Hopkins' stock can't get much lower, but both he and Blanton can ride this opportunity a long way if they perform well. Just please hang on to the ball whatever happens.
Well it definitely puts a damper on the run game, Hopkins looked like Tim Tebow trying to block earlier this season, and Blanton? Well, lets just hope he can keep it going

The Immaculate Exception
I am thinking who would of picked Tutu if we would of got Creed? I highly doubt anyone would of picked him up in the 2nd though.
I think I'd use Skowronek instead of Hopkins. Have Benny Skow play as a WR/TE hybrid.
Isn't that what he's already doing?
Not being snarky... they don't need to change what they do with Skow in any way.. it's just a matter of whether they want to run actual 2 TE sets, for some reason.
My point is that I wouldn't use Hopkins. I would use Skowronek. Yes, they've done that to an extent. I'd stick with it. Skow is listed at 6'3" 225. He's not much smaller than some slot TEs. It's too bad Jacob Harris suffered that season-ending injury.
My point is that they already do.
Kupp too.
They run 11 personnel 85 percent of the time and line Kupp and Skow up at the TE spot at various times.
I guess I'm saying I'm not worried about Hopkins getting as many snaps as Skow.. not even close.
I wouldn't play Hopkins at all on offense. Skow played 12% of the offensive snaps against Arizona, 8% of the offensive snaps against TB, and 27% of the offensive snaps against SF. Instead of giving Hopkins snaps, I'd simply give Benny more. I consider him a WR/TE tweener more than anything.
I had to laugh out loud on that one.
I've only been saying that since Skow was drafted.
Actually, even before that....
Hopkins is going to be active, if not then it really defies all logic how he's even on the roster
He's been kicking ass on the run plays where he's in the fullback role so agreed. Took that shit from Woody when he went down and has gotten better and better.
