Rd 1, pick 19, Rams Select EDGE/DL Jared Verse

[TheTackle]

One issue is he would be similar to Turner ... might not fit the scheme ... he might. Had short arms though ... but Rams have had one way they've gone. One taller kind of DE 4i/5t and Donald ... with Turner playing Donald's spot it raises question as to what they want opposite him ... someone similar to Kobie? Or someone similar to Brockers or Ashwn or Jonah Williams, a taller DE type.

They could go with Doruius and play with two similar guys on either side of Brown.

Fiske would probably be better if he lasts.

Great post. I have been mocking all three to the rams but sadly believe both will be gone before 52 where as Dorius should be available later

That and I have a man crush on Tyler Nubin if he’s there at 52

I think that's right. To get Fiske Rams would have to trade up.. On another board I posted that I think Dorius is super quick ... just seems like a 3-tech to me. Plus short arms and that shows ... but I don't know what kind of IDL they want ... as long as they get one they like ... and they nailed Kobie so, whatever they do will be fine.

Los Angeles Rams 1st Round Pick Is GOAT Approved, ‘Powerful, Explosive, So Much to Like About This Guy’

Los Angeles Rams 1st Round Pick Is GOAT Approved, 'Powerful, Explosive, So Much To Like About This Guy' - LAFB Network

Bill Belichick joined the Pat McAfee NFL Draft broadcast to share his thoughts on Jared Verse, the Los Angeles Rams pick at number 19 in the first round.

Surprisingly, New England Patriots six-time Super Bowl-winning coach, Bill Belichick joined the Pat McAfee 2024 NFL Draft broadcast to give his takes on all the proceedings. The defensive genius shared his thoughts on Jared Verse, the Los Angeles Rams pick at number 19 in the first round. Their first such pick since 2016.


“He can play outside can play inside. He’s powerful, explosive. There’s so much to like about this guy.

Winning against Graham Barton of Duke: “This kid’s a very explosive, tough player.”

Facing NC State: “His power rush. A very explosive guy can handle the running game in the in the C gap off tackle areas Here he is again shed in the block. Snatching that tackle coming inside. He gets off blocks. He attacks the pocket well and he’s got a lot of power.”

Belichick’s final praise for Verse was on a broader scale, the general importance of having a force of nature along the defensive front, like now-retired Aaron Donald.

“You gotta stop the run to rush the passer. That’s one thing Verse can do. He can handle the run and he can rush the passer. You earn the right to rush the passer by stopping the run and getting ahead. That’s how you earn that right.

Sorry, but I fucking hate that guy. He may be a brilliant defensive mind, but he'll always be a cheating bastard in my books.

Why so emotional? Just because you hate him and think he cheats --- how does that change the level of his knowledge and expertise?

Why can't you just look at it from a pure football perspective? He's smart at football and he likes the Rams pick.

But if you want to be all mad, that's your right.

Can you pick up the difference between 7.02 and 7.3 with your eye?

I can ... but it's only from years of intense viewing of the various sizes on the Boobies thread.

It's an acquired skill of which I am very proud.

Shout-out to @RamsOfCastamere for his thousands of contributions to that amazing thread.

Go Noles!

Dude is a beast. I watch every FSU game and I can remember thinking that this guy is a top 5 draft pick and we'd never have a shot at landing him. I'm very surprised.

One Man Savage Wrecking Crew.

Early on, he was my guy as far as Edge rushers go. I liked him over Turner and had concerns for latu. I moved on, though, because I didn’t think he’d be at #19.
Who’d a thunk it?

The most important deficiency has been addressed and the Rams have what, 10 more picks?

...

D-Line, WR, off-ball-LB, RB, interior-OL ... and ... FIVE Place-kickers?

 

[ramsplaya16]

Absolutely hate the noles, but love the pick

Have you Actually has any sleep @OldSchool?

 

[TheTackle]

D-Line, WR, off-ball-LB, RB, interior-OL ... and ... FIVE Place-kickers?

Another CB? Safety?

The key is to look at the talent across the board because only so many can get picked before we are back at the podium. For example, a run on ICL would play out great - similar to how the run on QBs played out for us in the first

I firmly believe we will have upgraded our starters by the end and found some nice pieces for our DL rotation

Think? Did he not get nailed twice for cheating with SpyGate and with DeflateGate?

I even stated, and I quote myself verbatim, "He may be a brilliant defensive mind, but he'll always be a cheating bastard in my books."

Just because he said something positive doesn't make him any less of a cheating bastard, and I will never forgive the man for taking away a potential dynasty from our team.

Anyway, on a lighter note, we need a badass nickname for our newest first round pick. We have The Conductor (Turner) and Agent Zero (Young), so I bet we can come up with an awesome nickname for Verse.

All suggestions welcome!

I am super confident this pick has AD99's full approval. He did indicate the Horns D needed an effective edge to turn up the heat on the opposing backfield. We probably could use a disruptive NT to shut the run down and keep Jones clean at ILB. I would not be surprised to see Sean try to get Matthew a big Warp Five burner.

 

[CGI_Ram]

A few thoughts;

1. Defense is never as sexy of a pick as an offensive weapon. I was salivating over the thought of Bowers or Odunze.
2. But the way the draft fell, we got one of the top DE’s at #19 and that’s insane.
3. WR is deep enough, the chances of finding a toy there later is greater than DE.
4. The Rams always have these “off the radar” type guys they surprise us with and I am SO excited for rounds 2-3… The Rams have some offensive weapons circled for today, IMO.

Nicknames kind of have to be earned somewhat. We need to see how Jared's game will translate against the pros. One early tentative suggestion, although it's kind of lengthy, is Edge of Destruction.

Hate all Florida teams but I will say they have some talented players.

It's possible there are no super elite edge defenders in this class. Here is a chart from PFF showing numbers for some edge defenders from this class versus top NFL edge defenders. Note that several are below 7.0.

This is why I was not too excited about the Rams drafting a ln edge in round 1.

Do you mean shallow class at Edge? If so agreed but it’s not a shallow draft class

Atlanta and our man Morris were consistently mocked to take an Edge so agreed

It is not a deep draft. Last year was a deep draft. It will be much harder to find good players after round three.

@WestCoastRam laid it out pretty well in his reply.

… or E.D. for short, which doesnt play out so well… how about Verse of Nature… or Luxury Problem…
