MemphisRams Rams Mock 2.0

No it wouldn't. That said, I believe that Woods is the best WR on the team. Not Kupp.

I respect your opinion, but I don't share it. Both guys are great route runners and blockers. Woods has a bit more vertical juice, but Kupp is a YAC monster. It's a closer call, but I'd take Kupp.

Hey, I respect yours too jrry32.

But, until Kupp shows me that he can be as effective as Woods outside of the slot vs. #1 and #2 CBs as consistently as Woods has been then I just don't see it as being close at all. As good as Kupp has been in the slot, Woods would be even more of a nightmare for opposing defenses, IMO.

On a side note, man how far we've come when we can debate who's better, 90 catch, 1,100 season Woods or 90 catch, 1,100 season Kupp. Rams went what, 10 years without a 1k reciever?
Claypool is only 6-4 guy to run under 4.45 since Megatron? I'd love him in Horns no matter if its WR or TE. He's a heck of a blocker too

I know for a fact Stephen Hill did. I believe there have been others.

I like Claypool and think he can play outside. May need a little work. He can go deep. He can do a lot of what Cooks did with inside cuts and outside cuts with a much better catch radius. Rams use those bunch sets a lot so Claypool can easily get off the line. He will be a miss match. He can also do those quick slants that Watkins did near the goal line.

I like the draft by the way. Could wait and get a running back later.

I didnt complete the entire statement,
"Only two wideouts to measure 6’4” & 235 pounds or bigger have run a sub-4.45 in the 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine since 2003"

Methinks he would automatically command some sort of bracket coverage by defenses. Especially, if he's moved around the formation.

I also wonder how opposing defenses would react if he's on the field with both Everret and Higbee. Would they keep the extra LB on the field for run defense or go with a smaller DB?

Just like McVay ran the majority of his offense using 11 personnel, he could do something similar using 12 personnel and be far more effective running the football, IMO.

That sounds accurate. He's very much a freak athlete. I won't be upset if we draft him. McVay will figure out how to utilize him. But I have to say that I do prefer Tee Higgins. We might not have the chance with Tee, though.
