Greg Cosell:

"What you love about Kinchens is his highly competitive and aggressive playing personality. While he is, at times, reckless and undisciplined, he brings an attitude and a swagger to a defense that all coaches will like.

The more I watched Kinchens, the more I liked him, and two players came to my mind in terms of playing style, mentality and overall traits: Darnell Savage and Budda Baker."

 

[AvengerRam]

I really like this pick, never considered him but never thought he’d be there for us to pick up at 99.

Very good safety to pair with Curl.

Both have will be effective at Free and Strong safety type of roles as we share those with universal safeties but Kinchens is more that Free Safety. Think 60/40.

Where as Curl is more a strong safety type, a bit bigger. 60/40


Has damn good instincts and is a sure tackler.

So, what you’re saying is…we have a double overhead Kam engine driving the defense!

 

[Tumak61]

Rams have greatly upgraded the Secondary, which I think cost us a couple wins last season.

 

[Memphis Ram]

Kitchens looks faster and more physical than Jordan Fuller to me.

I really know nothing about Kinchens and Corum. Just what I read and hear on the shows. Quite a few liked Kinchens in that spot. Some had him going 20 spots earlier. The only knock I heard on Corum was that he's pretty much Kyren Williams part 2. They thought a different type of runner would be better to offset Kyren.

The way I see it, the first two rounds we picked up a couple guys who can come in and start day one. And eventually be very good players. So it was a success in my eyes. Round 3 we got a couple guys who may or may not be ready to contribute early on. If thats the case I'm fine with it. We have them for 4 years. No need to rush them if they aren't ready.

 

[Ram Ts]

We need some ball hawks back there. I’m tired of the lack of turnovers / INTs

 

[Merlin]

He's not a shutdown corner in coverage. Has shit to work on. But he gives our secondary a young ballhawk which improves our safety outlook.

 

[WestCoastRam]

I did not want to go into next season with Yeast as a starting safety.

This allows Lake to stay in his big nickel/dimebacker position.

 

[AvengerRam]

I did not want to go into next season with Yeast as a starting safety.

That would really get a rise out of you?

Sorry.

 

[Memento]

I've come around on the pick a bit. Eleven picks is nice, and if he stops freelancing and pays attention to assignments, he could be solid for us.

 

[fearsomefour]

Day 1 starter.

 

[Allen2McVay]

I like Louis Riddick, although he can be over-the-top at times.

Anyone hear his comment on Kamren Kinchens from earlier today?

Riddick (a former Safety himself) said Kinchens would be a Pro Bowl Safety.

Thought that was interesting.

Early on he was thought to be a potential 1st round pick. Not too outlandish of a comment imo

It's a bit outlandish. He's a third-round rookie, and he still has to beat out a fair few younger safeties (Curl, Lake, Yeast, Taylor, Logan, McCullough, Ingle).

I think he could be a solid starter, but an All-Pro in his first year? I doubt it.

From what I've seen and read he didn't say rookie All-Pro

Ah. That makes a lot more sense. Then it's a possibility. He certainly has the production in college and tackling and ball skills. I worry about his overall athleticism and freelancing, but if Coach Pleasant can correct that? We very well could have an All-Pro at safety.

Dual Kams?
I like it.

Didn't think it was outlandish ... thought it was interesting.

Outlandish is a funny word.

No...he meant he believes he will eventually reach that level. And also stated he expects him to contribute on day 1.
