Snead actually stated in a recent interview that DT wasn't really a need when they drafted AD. They just couldn't pass him up. I'm thinnin that meant they viewed him as BPA.
Never deprive someone of their O.Sorry a simple typo mistake was so offensive it required your mod powers be used
Ram CB in 2017 or so who tore his achilles.
Excellent and well thought out response honestly. I've seen a fair amount of him, but, you are not wrong in the fact that he didn't play a ton of NFL talent. But, he did play well if every game. Really no down games, which is pretty rare for any prospect. I honestly liked Hutch better then Anderson coming out and, as far as on field performance, like Latu's college tape more then Andersons. Of course, Anderson was playing against the SEC while Latu was playing the PAC12. Although, based on this years draft, it does suggest the PAC12 had some pretty great OL's.
Kayvon Webster? He played only 2 games each in 2018 and 2019 but was that because of the achillles or because he wasn't talented? He started 2 games in 4 years prior to signing in LA and hardly played years 2-4, insanely low snap counts. Then he started 11 games with the Rams.
I mean, I'll cheer the crap out of him if we get him. But I think I'd be more excited with a Murphy at 19 or a Verse if he's there. Any guy we get at 19 will have some warts, even in the 1st. I think the noodle that keeps noodling my head is how good a prospect Murphy is (not a Donald) and not really being sure there's such a crazy drop off with edge going into top of 2nd*. That's a dangerous game though... trying to predict how the draft will go. So if the Rams love a guy, just grab him and let the draft come to you as you go on.
I felt he was playing really well when starting for the Rams and really coming into his own as a CB. But then boom he hurt his Achilles and was never heard from again.
Richard Sherman in 2017. Made the Pro Bowl and 2nd team All-Pro in 2019. Though I keep seeing ruptured when referring to his injury, so I don't know if it's a full tear.
That's one option. Another would be "give a shit" about our pass rush and go that direction with #19. I would think a rookie pass rusher would be as helpful as a rookie CB. And as it stands right now, the secondary is in better shape than the pass rush, regardless what version of T. White we get.
Seems we see a couple Rookie CBs excel coming out of the gate. I don’t recall hearing the same about edge rooks. But again I don’t recall knowing where I put my keys most mornings.
I don't know. White played 10 games in the last two years. Not sure how much we can count on him. Assuming he can fill the need is a risk.
We have enough needs that picking the best defender available at 19 may be the way to go. We have needs at OLB, DT, DE, CB, S... I'm not sure we should be so picky.
Micah Parsons, Joe Tryon-Shoyinka, Odaf Oweh, Jaelan Phillips, Will Anderson
Byron Young. His 8 sacks 8 tfl 2 forced fumbles for a 3rd round pick is absolutely excelling coming out of the gate. I mean one more sack 2 less tfl and 2 more forced fumbles than the guy that won the popularity contest for DROY and people seem to not consider him around here as somebody to help our defense keep progressing.
Absolutely. Hell, we could even go OT. I hope not because all of the holes are on defense. But as they say, the draft is as much about the future as it is about the now. Alaric is on a 1 year deal and Havenstein has 2024 and 2025 left on his. Plan ahead!
It’s seems most of his production was in the first 10 games. I’m pulling for his progression but not sure he’s the wrecking ball we covet.
Seems you're wrong? Two sacks in December and one in the final game against the Whiners in January's sole game for 3 sacks in the final 5 weeks.
Mike Waufle pounded the table -- "threatened to quit" if Rams didn't take Donald. Rams were going to take manziel perhaps with 2nd first ...
