Rams select Zach Evans (RB) with the 215th pick.

[Memento]

Love this pick. Physical, bellcow running back, solid hands, needs work with fumbles and pass protection, but a solid, solid pick.

 

[thirteen28]

There was a goal line run in one of those where the guy got hit and stood up immediately but powered through it into the end zone anyway. THAT's the stuff I like to see.

 

[snackdaddy]

He's got nice quickness in his cuts and change of pace. I like this pick. If they can coach the fumble issue out of him this could be a real good pick.

 

[Merlin]

Welcome to the Rams.

Here's hoping this dude can stay healthy. Rest up it's a long season.

 

[hotanez]

love this pick

 

[Zodi]

"Yikes"

 

[Ramrasta]

He was a 5 star prospect out if high school and you can see why. However, he takes a back seat to other RBs everywhere he has been because of his fumbles and unreliable blocking. Had to transfer out of TCU after being benched.

Likely projects as a early down change of pace guy.

Big swing here, hope our new RB coach can reach the kid and the injury bug is over.

Waldman's stuff is excellent.

Zach just passed Bobby on the list of all time Greatest Rams Named Evans!

 

[Merlin]

The RB choice for this season is an underrated storyline for us. We have been screwed by RB over and over and over. Guys not being able to be there when we need them to move the chains.

Draft comes and we move back a million times and end up with a guy who has injury issues and possibly maturity issues too. Nothing against Evans in that regard, I was young too once and a fucking idiot in my time. But this is a really important role for this team and I watch guys like Gray go off in those areas we traded out of.

It pisses me off. Again not Evans' fault. But I really hope this young man is hungry and ready to prove himself because that's what we fucking need round here.

We’ll, now there’s Ethan too.

Yeah, true. Would I have preferred Sean Tucker? Sure, but Evans is a top third round talent in his own right, someone who could be a three-down back. And you know that McVay will have him on a short leash.

Agreed. Rumors are that he's a bit of a headcase. Supremely talented, though.

I didn't like Gray.

I'm a little pissed off to see Vaughn go off in front of our faces to Dallas. Gotta admit that. But this role is really important to us. Akers has not been able to avoid injury. We need stability back there.

At this point hoping they have a good plan with UDFAs. Gonna need them all over for this roster but RB should have some too.

 

[Allen2McVay]

To get pick #215 to draft Zach Evans, the Rams traded pick #252 and a 2024 Sixth Round draft choice.

 

[AvengerRam]

Agreed. Rumors are that he's a bit of a headcase. Supremely talented, though.

Don’t worry… Cam Akers is as steady as a rock.

Agreed. We could definitely see a few RB UDFAs.
