I would much rather get a wide receiver that fits McVay's style.

Lemon Tate Tyson Cooper or Concepcion

Any one of those 5 would be fine with me other than I am sorta leary of Tyson's knees.
Makes sense.

But, I was working the the #61 selection in this past mock draft.
I gave the Rams Cooper Jr. in round one and I doubt the others make it there.

McVay's style evolves. And I maintain, McVay has never had anyone like Branch. DeSean Jackson may be the closest but he wasn't as strong. Kingsbury may very well have more input that we expect.

I believe OP was referring to a 2nd WR in the draft. To replace Tutu/Smith at WR5.

Better WR options potentially available at 61: Hurst, Lane, Bell, Fields, Brazzell

I didn't think I was going to make another one this offseason, but I had some time to kill and wanted to try something a little different.


1. Omar Cooper Jr., WR, Indiana 6’0” 199

The most “Ramsiest WR” in the draft according to former scout and NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah. Physical blocker, YAC monster, good hands and speed. Who knows? He might eventually prove to be a protection against Puka having more issues.

2. Zachariah Branch, WR/PR, Georgia 5’9” 177

I would prefer a pass rusher here, but not sure one worth the selection makes it so………….third time’s a charm???

Branch is just as fast as Tutu, but bigger and much stronger (20 reps of 225) with actual PR skills. And he might be as shifty and jitterbug like as Tavon, but is an actual WR instead of a tiny RB trying to learn the position.

Both Cooper and Branch could also be great fits for the screen game Kingsbury is probably going to have McVay add to the offense. Good-bye Xavier.

3. J.C. Davis, OT, Illinois 6’4” 322

Enough with the toys. Teams shouldn’t go through the first two days without addressing the trenches. Especially a team where 4 of its OLine starters are set to be free agents after the season. Davis gives the team a potential depth piece that may develop into a future starter at OT or Guard.

6. Michael Heldman, EDGE, Central Michigan 6’4” 260

Here the Rams take a flier on a smaller school kid with a high motor and good RAS score to see if he can add more umph to the pass rushing rotation. Might have to trade up for him, but I’m not sure. More special teams help.

7. Riley Nowakowski, TE/FB/H-Back, Indiana 6’2” 250

Rams go back to National Champions and nab one of the key players in their rushing attack who can also be a physical presence on special teams. It’ll probably never happen, but hopefully this is the year someone in the building emphasizes to McVay how much a good physical blocker can help the team.

7. DeCarlos Nicholson, CB, USC, 6’ 3 ¼, 200

View: https://youtu.be/XmhimeTjo9I


Haven’t seen his name mentioned much, but this transfer from Mississippi State who played one year at USC has 33’ ½” arms, 4.50/40 pro day, 6.54 3 cone drill. Hopefully, he could push Forbes off the roster.

7. James Thompson Jr., DT, Illinois, 6’5” 310

View: https://youtu.be/UG3Cn83pUBA?si=HJ4-f6yTAk-cMXxR


Former Wisconsin product that could compete for a DT spot to unseat Hamilton or just eventually hone his craft on the practice squad.

Not gonna lie, I got a little "excited" on this one. :)
