Rams select Davis Allen (TE) with the 175th pick.

[Memento]

Interesting tight end/H-back with definite production. Definite redzone threat. Decent pick.

Love it!

I entered this draft hoping for an elite TE prospect. Leaving the draft with a TE who has two last names.

Ah well fuck it. Welcome to the Rams you big athletic sumbish!

This looks like a solid pick. He reminds me of Johnny Mundt. Mostly a physical blocker with the ability to make an appointment occasional catch.

You could reverse them Allen Davis sounds right.

Like this pick a lot. Proficient run blocker first.
I'd still grab Kuntz if he's there at Mr Irrelevant

From what I have read, he's not a run-blocker but more of an H-Back, Red-Zone-target.

I guess that makes sense. McVay loves the blockers he can line up all over the formation and periodically spring loose for a reception.

 

[Psycho_X]

Fits a need we really didn’t even have last season. So I like it. Great value there for dirty work.

 

[oldnotdead]

Well they have their blocking TE who can also catch.....i.e. Mundt with hands. Looks like a good role player which is what you get at this point in the draft.

 

[Elmgrovegnome]

He moves a lot like Higbee.

 

[OldSchool]

I like this draft but this may be one of my favorite picks. Would like to add the ND St TE too in UDFA if he isn't gone, haven't looked yet.

Does not make me feel better

Hands like a vacuum cleaner.

At first glance this guy looks like the polar opposite of Jacob Harris.

Harris had off the charts measurables-- speed, leaping ability-- and hands of stone. Man I thought Harris' hands were bad. Looked like he was "fighting" the ball to reel it in, and often had a bobble or two. Looked like what he was-- a soccer player converting to football.

By contrast, when Allen catches the ball he looks so smooth and effortless. Nice body control too. But it sounds like his measurables are only ordinary.

IMO the ability to catch is a horribly undervalued metric with receivers. (Case in point: Tavon Austin).

yeah, harris looked fantastic against air but when preseason started he looked like he would never catch a ball. ever.

Davis Allen may be the silkiest TE I’ve seen in a really long time. He’s so smooth, his speed and change of direction are very underrated
