One of the best things about Draft Da right here. So gratifying. Think how proud his family is right now. Love it.

@IE Rams you trying to crash the site or what?? You win the longest post for 2022 I'll call it now.

Someone please edit or delete that post lol

Now Akers switching his number is coming into focus. OBJ goes back to 13, Wolford changes or is gone and the world is right again.

Gosh darn it! Makes my eyes water!

 

[RamFanWA]

Yeah... that is what I thought you said.....

Am I missing something when it comes to Williams? How did he fall so far in the draft. I mean he's electric

His pro day and combine numbers weren't good. Lucky for us the Rams don't pay attention to 40 times or the underwear olympics

 

[Mackeyser]

Yeah, this year there are SO MANY guys who ran sub 4.4

I kinda wonder if the trainers have kinda hacked the 40 a bit and the Rams are savvy to it because even going back to Cooper Kupp, they were already using GPS game data as opposed to timed runs not in pads.

Seeing as the only speed that matters is game speed, we shouldn't have to wonder if a guy's speed "translates"

Thus, if anything, our guys play faster than other teams expect.

I think a LOT of track stars who aren't necessarily at the same talent level as their timed speed got paid and teams are gonna wonder about this draft.

Either that or the NFL is about to get even faster...

 

[nighttrain]

two kinds of speed. There's timed speed and then there's playing speed. Can be very different.

[Kupped]

Hendo better find a way to stay on the field if he wants to see any action.

Hendo's shorter, heavier, significantly more explosive and has made key plays in winning a Super Bowl.

His health's an issue, obviously, but if he's healthy, he's active and getting snaps.

I like some of what I'm seeing from Kyren.. especially the pass protection stuff and his incredible attitude... I'll root for him.
But he's not explosive at all.

 

[Mackeyser]

Yeah, both Kupp and Van Jefferson have elite top end speed, but we got 'em because they didn't "time well"... which is about the dumbest reason to not draft a guy... I mean beyond not drafting a WR because of his bench press numbers...

Rams steal the draft for real!!!!!!!

That Eye Exam post, up above, took me 2 hours, but I passed it!

 

[OldSchool]

The other end of the phone call.

But with Kupp, at least, we had other athletic traits that indicated something good there... short area times.

This kid? Nope.

Yeah, looks like the only thing he's good at is playing football. But other than being good at football, nothing stands out on his tape.

Matt Grootegoed was a fantastic football player. Standout tape at a National Championship level program.

Man

@IE Rams you trying to crash the site or what?? You win the longest post for 2022 I'll call it now.

I have no clue what happened. I was having probs posting how much I loved the phone calls with the coach, and everything went to shit. Honest.

And I'm not even drinking or smoking anything. Yet.



And now it's too late to delete.

Can any mods delete it?
