Feel better soon, Jemma! Let me know when you're feeling better so I can offer all my criticisms of your mock. :zany1:

I’m feeling much better, but I’d like your opinion on TeSlaa, in particular. He excelled at every athletic score known to football at 6’4”, 214 lbs., so I’d love your thoughts on whether or not he’d be a worthy sixth round pick.

Like Taylor, Parish, and the two Cal Bear picks a lot.
Have a bit of a soft spot for the Golden Bears, and their defense was solid last year. Taylor popped on tape the most when I watched Nussmeier, even more than Kyren Lacy (who would’ve been a second round pick, were it not for his horrible idiocy and callousness). Not flashy, but as reliable as they come. Parrish is my answer to those who think we need extra corners. He’s small, but punishing and physical, like a wolverine or, dare I say, a Honey Badger as a corner. ;)

Glad you're out of the hospital! Love your whole mock. I am feeling we need a stud cb to lock up the backfield for a few years. If you had to modify your mock to take a cb with one of the Rams 1st three picks, who would you go after and what would you modify to make that happen?

I feel like the defense, with the strong front, could really benefit from improvement at corner. Linebackers will work themselves out. A stronger defensive backfield would make the defense better exponentially...my opinion.

What I would do is trade down to the Bills spot (who jump for a falling O-lineman and trade the last of their seconds), and pick Revel, who is my favorite corner in this class. Follow that with Aireontae Ersery if he’s there, then Stutsman, then Ferguson (Oregon tight end). Probably won’t trade for a quarterback in that scenario (thinking to kick that can further down the road), and use the fourth on Nohl Williams, if he’s still there. Rest of the draft doesn’t change, except for Buchanan; will probably grab Zakhari Franklin at that pick instead; Landman, Speights, and Stutsman make it easier to take an UDFA at linebacker.

I like your Beck, Stutsman and Williams picks. The trades are favorable (like another poster stated), not sure they can happen. Not a believer in Hendon Hooker trade.

As always, thanks for taking the time to post and give all of us something to think about. HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER
True, the trades are favorable, and I understand not wanting Hooker. Just trying out new scenarios. And thank you for the kind words.

Yes I hope you are better and that you don't get another relapse again.

Thank you. Trying the anti- UTI pills and a new powder. It won’t stop the UTIs for good (it’s almost a given thanks to the nature of my old injuries), but hopefully, it’ll stop them for the next few months while I’m doing boccia tournaments (so don’t be surprised if I miss the third day of the draft; I’ve got two tournaments in two consecutive weeks, one on the last of April, one on the start of May.), so I hopefully don’t miss those.
