I keep seeing mock drafts of him falling past the Rams in the second round, and I can't believe the Rams could pass on him if he is there. He can fit the new 3-4 scheme at DE and with so much talent around him he could seriously make an impact his first year! Is there a reason he is falling so much? I heard it might be a motor issue, but is there something else?

If he's there we should take him. He's too talented imo

I don't think he'll fall out of the 1st round, But IF he where to fall to the Rams in the 2nd I'm sure they would really consider taking him. It would be like Donald 2.0, and too much Talent to pass on!

Insane quality and depth at certain positions. There are going to be crazy good defensive options in round 2 and likely round 3 as well. DE is just stupid deep, but of course you gotta get into the differentiation of who fits where. Rams, IMO, will be on the lookout for a blindside rush OLB as insurance for Quinn and his back and just like with CB if the fit is there it's a high chance of being the pick.

I have heard the motor issue come up a few times and that he does not take to coaching.....of course I dont know for sure but I have heard these rumblings. Super talent and has the tools. If he does fall, the motor issue is probably true.

I don't want him. He's incredibly talented but was an underachiever in college. He has admitted to freelancing and not listening to his coaches because he didn't like the role they wanted him to play. He has major effort issues and only plays when he wants to play. He's the type of player that McVay and co. have been jettisoning from this team. I'll let our coaches make their decision on whether they want to deal with a kid like that, but personally, I wouldn't hand them a knucklehead like him when they're trying to lay the foundation for a successful team, especially not with our top pick.
