Dante Pettis, WR Washington. Saw it on NFL.com

If someone wants to copy and paste, feel free. Or find a tweet. Then replace this post please do so. Copy PAste on this old Kindle is difficult, or I just don't know how to highlight more than a word with it.

The Los Angeles Rams were very active at the Senior Bowl last year, spending a great deal of time and effort scouting players in Mobile. That was very obvious during the week of interviews and practice, but it was even more evident in the draft, itself.

Six of the Rams’ seven picks participated in the Senior Bowl with Samson Ebukam being the only exception. All of their first four picks were in Mobile last year, including Cooper Kupp and Gerald Everett.

Clearly, they put a great deal of value in the Senior Bowl, as many teams do. However, more than most organizations, the Rams go all out in the interview process. According to Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports, Los Angeles had eight to 10 staff members in the interview room with prospects to the point where there weren’t enough chairs.

#SeniorBowl: #Rams pounded the formal interview process with prospects this week. 8-10 personnel/coaching staffers in interviews, to the point there weren’t enough chairs at times. Long interviews, too. No other #NFL team staffed the interviews that intensely.

The Rams reportedly met with safety Trayvon Henderson and tight end Durham Smythe, among others, according to Downtown Rams. They certainly interviewed several other players, so it’s hard to get a feel for which direction they’re looking in the draft.

One thing’s for sure, though: At least a few of players from this week in Mobile will be drafted by the Rams in April as they haven’t been shy about their love for players from the Senior Bowl.

Can we expand this post and add all meetings to the list and not just pro days? Maybe even get a sticky. Here's a blurb above about the Senior Bowl.

I'm sure you probably copied the list, but Sean Welsh is from Iowa, not Oregon.

Of these three TE's I think Ian Thomas - Indiana is the Best choice. But IF the rams go after a TE I hope it's Mike Gesicki - Penn State - 6ft 6 / 252 / 4.55 40 time / 10ft 9 inch Broad jump / 41 1/2 Vert. at the Combine!

One of the faster 2018 WR Draft prospects will Dante Pettis has a meeting with the LA Rams this upcoming week. If he was something the Rams desired ...He may be in consideration with the 3rd round #87 selection or later if he was still on the board. Pettis claims he can run a 4.37-second 40 when healthy.

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap30...-dante-pettis-will-sit-out-washington-pro-day

.......While he won't participate in pro-day drills, Pettis still has a lot on his plate this week. He told NFL.com that he has two meetings scheduled in Seattle with the Los Angeles Rams and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but he's sure that "a lot of teams" will try to pull him aside at Saturday's pro day..........

If we can't sign Sammy, I could absolutely see us trying to shore up ILB or NT in the second wave of FA and then going after a guy like Pettis in the 3rd if he's around. The only position of need that doesn't seem to offer us flexibility to choose to fill in FA or draft is OLB. It looks like we're gonna have to go 100% draft on that one and most likely our 1st pick.

Kromer was in town for the Nevada pro day to watch Corbett. He was their LT but is likely moving inside at the pro level.

Reno. @RamFan503 flew secret ops over the last few weeks seeding the clouds with a chemical icing to cause this storm that dropped seven feet of snow. :cautious:

Bastard wanted a good ski season for himself, but didn’t give a crap about these guys pro days.

:rant:He cares more about powder on the back 40 of Squaw Valley, than the 40 times of these young men!!

Yeah Reno, about 4500 feet elevation and 30 minutes from where the Donner party happened. We get some snow :)

Yeah. Thanks to Stu we’ll all be reading about the horrors of The Kromer Party in the history books.

Maybe coach Boo is still available. :(
