Go Rams........
- Evan Engram, TE, Ole Miss ..... I've seen a lot of comparisons between he and Redskins TE Jordan Reed Ht:6' 02" | Wt: 236 | ..... what do you guys think? If he is still there in the second round.... does McVay pull the trigger? Thoughts?
Unlike a few here, I think Engram will be a player that McVay would love to have. I know that the Rams have slot options but if you are a new coach taking over, you want to build the team your way. If he loves Engram in the slot, then he would bump or trade, or release guys like Tavon or Pharoah. McVay will trust his eyes. I think Engram is a player he wouldn't pass up.

14 teams were in attendance of Missouri State’s pro day on March 22, including Miami. Others that came out include those in attendance were Arizona, Washington, Kansas City, Jacksonville, Denver, Philadelphia, Carolina, L.A. Rams, Indianapolis, Atlanta, Detroit, Oakland and Seattle.
Every team that came out were given a show. The 6′, 240lb linebacker, as Draft Diamonds said, straight up murdered his workout.
When you don’t get invited to the NFL Combine you have to show up strong at your pro day to get recognition. Cole obviously did just that, making a lot of money in the process, too. The numbers he put up at his pro day would’ve put him at the top of the list at this years NFL Combine.
To really put it in perspective, Cole had just as many bench reps as Ndamukong Suh and had a higher vertical than Odell Beckham Jr. Cole actually put up 36 bench reps last Summer all while calling out draft expert Mel Kiper Jr. and Adam Schefter.
Unreal.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo--"I've been playing football since I was like 6 or 7 and I have been telling my mom that I was going to go to the NFL since I was like 6 or 7. I never thought I was going to be here, it is absolutely surreal. I can't put it into words. It's something I have wanted to do my entire life," said Dylan Cole.
All-American linebacker Dylan Cole took the field at Plaster Stadium, like he had so many times before. Except this time, 14 NFL scouts would be watching for his Pro Day.
"I think I turned some heads and impressed them. I think I did what I needed to do, show me athleticism, show my speed and all that good stuff. I'm feeling pretty confident right now.
Dylan Cole certainly impressed today with a 10-foot, 5-inch broad jump as well as clocking in with a 4.52 40-yard dash.
He also bench pressed 225 pounds 32 times and recorded a 39-inch vertical jump. Numbers that were better than any other linebacker at the combine.
"You train for about two or three months for about two or three hours. It wore me out a little bit, but it is all worth it. I'd rather do that from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. than sit a desk from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.," said Cole.
Wide receiver Zach Hoover and offensive lineman Riley Shantz also took part of today's Pro Day.
"Just trying to show them that a 300 pound man can run a little bit. I think I proved my point. I think I ran pretty well for them. So we will see what happens. Whatever they want me to do, I'll do for them. As long as I get a chance to prove myself and compete, I'll be happy just doing that," said Riley Shantz.
Now all these Bears can do is hope. Hope that their resume's strong enough to be called sometime in April's NFL Draft.

Dylan Cole ... Missouri State's renaissance man?
Jim Connell , JCONNELL@NEWS-LEADER.COM10:00 p.m. CT Aug. 27, 2016
Dylan Cole may be the closest thing to the "Most Interesting Man on Earth" the Ozarks sports scene has to offer.
The Rogersville native — and best player on the Missouri State football team — can be tough to pin down.
He's the young man who became a summer online sensation by bench-pressing 225 pounds a ridiculous 36 times, in a video captured and distributed on Twitter.
He's the senior sales management major who has become a regular on lists honoring student-athletes for success in the classroom.
He's the cover model for the Bears' media guide for 2016, where he is pictured, in full uniform and flex, appearing to squeeze the life out of a football.
Don’t forget the time this preseason, when during warmups and while on the sidelines during a scrimmage, he couldn't keep himself from dancing to a bubble-gum pop song from a few years back.
Tough to pin down, remember?
“That’s just me having fun,” Cole said with a sheepish smile. “You hear Miley Cyrus and you start dancing.”
At least give him credit for being honest. And for appreciating what he’s got before his college playing career is finished.
“I really want to cherish these moments with these players, these brothers that I’ve built bonds with,” Cole said. “It’s coming to an end, and you never know when it will be taken away.”
Cole has been an anchor at the weak-side linebacker position throughout his four-plus years on the Springfield campus. He led the team in total tackles every game last season and led the Missouri Valley Football Conference with 152 total stops.
His average of 13.8 tackles per game ranked third in all of the Football Championship Subdivision. He was a first-team pick in the MVFC and is a preseason All-America selection this season. For his career, he has started all 35 games.

When the regular season opens Thursday night against Southwestern College, Cole will again play one of the biggest roles on the Missouri State team.
How he plays will go a long way toward determining the team's success in coach Dave Steckel's second season.
Cole can't be just a weight-room warrior. Or a player who puts up big numbers in a losing effort. Or even a carefree young man who can't keep from strutting his stuff when the music starts.
He's ready ... beyond ready ... to be done with the losing.
After a redshirt season when the Bears went 2-9 in 2012, he played for teams that were 5-7 in 2013, 4-8 in 2014 and 1-10 last season.
That was like a blast of freezing air straight to the face for Cole. He led Rogersville High to the Class 3 state championship as a senior in 2011, rushing for more than 2,000 yards and scoring 33 touchdowns.
Cole hasn't made peace with the feeling of losing, even after four years full of it at Missouri State.
How much does he hate losing?
“If you’re going to scale it (from 1 to 10), I’d have to say it’s a 20,” Cole said. “I hate losing more than I like winning.
“The thought of losing makes me (long pause) mad, to put it into nice terms.”
If you close your eyes, you could hear his coach saying the same thing.
Give either of them a choice between having a root canal with no anesthetic or losing a football game, and they’ll likely march with confidence straight to the dentist’s chair.
“He and Coach Stec are very alike in that way, and that’s very similar to the way the rest of the staff is and the rest of the team is,” defensive coordinator Marcus Yokeley said.
“With Dylan’s leadership and Coach Stec’s leadership, the team has become very competitive, whether that’s playing pool on a Sunday or out here at practice … and that has come down from our leadership.”

But Cole isn't interested in talking about the next level. Not yet.
“I’m not worried about that right now,” Cole said. “Now I really want to change the atmosphere here and bring this university together, and when I leave, to be really satisfied with how I left this university.”
The last two years have been a learning process for Cole and the rest of the team, moving from former coach Terry Allen to Steckel, learning new offensive and defensive schemes and helping young players through the transition.
“What’s really important about Dylan is that he’s getting better about learning our system, learning what keys we’re asking him to see, and you see a great maturation in our system,” Steckel said.
“That’s really going to enhance him as a football player for this season. (Preseason) All-American, that’s great for him, but let’s be All-American at the end of the season, and let’s go win.”

Nice to see this as we expected. Though the Bears pick before us in the 2nd round.

We generally see 4 qbs in camp.
BBringing in a camp arm or 2 is pretty standard.

Dylan Cole resembles one of my favorite sack specialist from back in the day when NFL games were on local channels. I loved the old early 80's Jets teams and Cole is a ringer for a young Joe Klecko. I used to get every Jets and Giants game on WPIX back then. I adopted them as second favorites since I rarely saw my Rams on East Coast TV, and highlight shows were not so good back then.
But yeah Cole looks like Klecko.

Intriguing. Definitely fits the bill for the DeSean Jackson role in McVay's offense.

For those interested in him he's having visits elsewhere but doesn't cite the Rams. Multiple tweets from this source say the Cowboys were at Baylors day and like Russel and Cannon.

I compare him to Stefon Diggs of the Minnesota Vikings. I think Cannon is extremely underrated just like Diggs was.

Nah. He's a better player. He's more Kenny Stills or Travis Benjamin than Chris Givens.
