Some interesting quotes:
- On Wentz:
"Wentz had a roller-coaster season, but overall, he showed tremendous promise. This was supposed to be a redshirt year for the No. 2 overall pick; instead, he started all 16 games for the Eagles. He played really well at the end of the season, thanks in large part to the return of right tackle Lane Johnson."
"Tunsil played out of position this fall (LG), but he was a main reason for running back Jay Ajayi's breakout season. He has the ability to make rare blocks at the second level because of his athleticism."
I just think the Rams should've had the OL fixed before they took a QB #1, and an RB #1 the year before. I like Hav and Rob to some degree, it's possible they thought the OL was fixed, and then something happened this season -- Saffold's & Hav's injuries, GRob still young & raw, and releasing Garrett Reynolds (I think they should've kept him) -- something happened to this OL. If we had last year's OL, I'm positive Gurley would've been right behind Elliot in yards & TD's this season.
Regardless, there was good OL & TE talent in this draft that I think we missed due to taking Goff #1. I really don't think Prescott & Elliot are "all that", given DeMarco Murray's dismal performance after he left the Cowboys. I really hope whoever the Rams get as a coach fixes this OL.

Kinda hard to quarterback when your RT is playing on one leg.

It'd be nice if we had a G or two who was on the same page as the running back. Kudos also to the Dolphins for having the guts to start Tunsil at LG & not force him into playing LT right away.
Some other nice notes on Jack Conklin, Hunter Henry & Cody Whitehair. Elliot & Prescott went 1 & 2, but kinda expected with that OL.I just think the Rams should've had the OL fixed before they took a QB #1, and an RB #1 the year before.
