Sean wants to bring back the jet sweep and quick screens.

Or you know, maybe he was just a really important part of who we scout and draft? He was hired away because of how talented he was at his job. No conspiracy theory there.

Actually I think Holmes was really important to the Rams' drafting. And he certainly knows everything there is to know about how we have drafted and how the picks have played out. I think he will be a great GM.

It wouldn't surprise me if Snead trades down again at 103 and makes rounds 4 and 5 his draft. Those are prime rounds for RBs and o-line traditionally.

 

[El Chapo Jr]

He's fast as hell and great after the catch. But man 150lbs in the NFL is crazy.

Fuck, we drafted the best in shape crack head ever. Tyrone Biggums is some where smiling and doing his dance.

It's our new Center if Meinerz isn't available...

Don't worry.
Stafford has a quick release and can go through his reads very fast.

 

[TK42-RAM]

Has talent and speed .. in McVay we trust I suppose.

I no longer care. I have no control of Sneads fucked up draft....Wish Brad Holmes would have stayed and Snead left..

I'm not really impressed with that Tutu Atwell pick myself.

 

[Soul Surfer]

Tavon was fun to watch....

At practice.

And that one game against Indianapolis that we thought he was going to break out afterwards.

He just never was able to break out.

 

[Soul Surfer]

I remember the Cam Akers and Van Jefferson reactions well.

Adding this one to the list.

I loved the Akers pick but I didn't know a whole lot about Van Jefferson.

How many times are we going to pick skill positions and ignore real problems?

 

[RamsSince1969]

In the last two seasons, only three receivers in college football had more yards after the catch than Atwell. He picked up 988 yards after the catch since 2019, which ranked third in the country, according to Pro Football Focus’ Sosa Kremenjas.

He also had 70 first downs and 40 plays of 15-plus yards, ranking 12th and ninth in college football since 2019, respectively.

 

[“Turbo set!”]

Would any team have taken him before the third or even fourth round?

I like his scouting report though.

"OVERALL

Atwell is a speedy receiver who primarily lined up in the slot in college. He plays with a competitive streak that, when combined with his above-average hands and very good ball-tracking ability, allows him to be a consistent deep threat on every play. He has top-tier acceleration and speed that allows him to threaten safeties on vertical routes and can also take any shorter route the distance. Atwell mostly lined up in the slot to give him space to operate, and whether he can consistently win outside will be the biggest question mark because of his poor size."

Ernest Jones? Are you serious? This guy looks like camp fodder.

 

[“Turbo set!”]

I’m getting kinda tired of taking WRs. What the hell was the point of drafting Jefferson? So now we have Woods, Kupp, Jackson, Jefferson and Atwell? I know we wanted to add speed but there’s no way this dude wasn’t going to be there in the 3rd round. We had Humphrey sitting in our laps and pass on him. Dammit man.

How many times are we going to pick skill positions and ignore real problems?

The thinking is to take who they feel is the best available player regardless of position.

I agree with the philosophy but not sure about the player.

Until we get the #1 Pick in the Draft again....

 

[HE WITH HORNS]

I like Tutu better than the Van Jefferson pick. Jefferson was a clone of Woods and Kupp. We need a guy with speed like this.

I'm not too worried about his size, most defenders will never get a hand on him.

Jesus guys.
Two pages in and Done with this thread.
The ignorant arrogance of those who know better.
Never ceases to amaze.

They don't need to get a hand on him. A well-placed pinky will do it.

Every year too. I knew it was coming.
