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.

Gotta believe he would have been available with the R3.103 pick if they really liked him.

The good news is Atwell will stretch the field for the Rams and help as a return specialist. The downside to Atwell is his weight and durability. Hopefully his 150 lb bodyweight can take the punishment of the NFL.

Atwell has never returned kicks with his weight, and I don't think he ever returned punts either.

Somebody check on Snead. I think the fever has escalated and he thought it was the 4th round.

Strange pick but I always expect the unexpected with this FO. Hope he turns into a real weapon and not a gadget player

The Rams probably will give him a tryout as a returner whether he has experience or not. He’s got the speed and elusiveness to succeed as a return specialist.

Guessing McVay had a woody watching him on those jet sweeps. Also if you blink as a DB he gone. The guy is a nightmare 1v1 with a clean release.

But that size lol. Hope he can survive.
