River's Final Mock, hopefully, before the Draft ...

[Riverumbbq]

Thought about adjusting my last mock, although I believe there are enough changes to justify a new one.

Since we've re-signed Floyd and traded Brockers, both of which I campaigned for in my last few mocks, the Rams have picked up a free agent deep threat WR in DeSean Jackson, and they have so-far neglected signing or trading for a quality starting Center, ... and now, thankfully, Blythe is also out of the picture.

Trade 1) Because I still have Quinn Meinerz available at the top of the 3'rd round, the Rams will trade down from their 2'nd rd pick (2.57) as well as give up their late 3'rd rd pick (#103) to the NY Jets and receive 3'rd rd picks # 66 & 86, a trade chart match.

Trade 2) Rams trade Havenstein & a 2022 3'rd rd draft pick to Green Bay for 2021 3'rd. rd pick #92. The Rams now enter the draft with five 3'rd round draft picks.

Excellent mock draft - well done. Maybe my favorite one that I’ve seen so far.

Personally I don’t think we need the speed WR early anymore and would prefer to get that at back end (with kick return abilities). Instead getting an iLB at that spot or keeping Hav. But that’s just me.

The Rams might go ILB, but I think they may just wait for a post draft free agent to drop in on them. I also believe we would have so much competition at RT it would almost be silly, if Meinerz was drafted there is an excellent chance he would start at LG, leaving Edwards available to compete at RT with Noteboom, the newly drafted OT Walker Little, Anchrum & Evans. Depth will be outstanding, imo. And Schwartz would get a year of mostly bench warming and provide injury insurance before taking over completely for DeSean Jackson in 2022. jmo.

Well if it makes you feel better, I think Snead agrees with you and they are much more likely to go WR early than iLB. Rams just don’t value iLB (& iOL) much at all. I would go iLB, but pretty sure they’d love another top speed WR toy instead.

Good stuff as always! Appreciate the effort you put in!

Thanks, but I know you hate my 6'th round pick.

Excellent stuff. Not sure about Borom as a Mizzou fan (his athleticism is very, very lacking), but hey, he's a seventh round pick. I think Meinerz goes before we pick in the third as well. And I want an actual tight end over Mason. But this is a solid draft.

It was either Borom or Kansas State TE Briley Moore, and you might notice that Borom didn't make the 53 roster and is instead going to the Practice Squad. Same place Moore likely ends up if I went with him. jmo.

Must say this is a hell of a mock!!! Best I have seen.

My notes I thought we could do better on Haverstein trade not sure why we need to give a 3rd. I also think we need better ILB play just look at the Greenbay playoff game they killed us with RBs and short over the middle.

Thank You,
In todays market, I believe we'd be lucky to land a 5'th rd draft pick for Havenstein. And it's likely a 2022 3'rd isn't worth much more than a 2021 4'th, so I opted to trade for a position which could become a need for this season, and eliminate Havenstein's 2021 & 2022 CAP hits as well.
As for the Green Bay game, we had Donald out injured while Floyd was being double teamed in his place, so I believe the outcome would have been closer if we were in better health. Kiser & Howard will be returning and I suspect our new defensive coordinator finds a post draft upgrade at ILB as well. jmo.

Nicely done. Wouldn’t it be amazing if you actually knew I am Les Sneeds sisters, brothers, twice removed cousin from his step moms side Kevin Bacon 6 degrees away. I’ll make sure he gets this!
