So where is Lance McCutcheon on the WR depth chart.

[Riverumbbq]

Harris might be TE#3?

He's really a hybrid WR/TE at this point, although for the sake of making reading a depth chart easier considering all the WR's on our roster, listing him as TE#3 works fine for me, with Roger Carter as TE4. The Rams could also carry 7 WR's and make Roger Carter TE3. jmo.

 

[Psycho_X]

To me....
Kupp
Robinson
Jefferson
Tutu
Skowronik
McCutcheon
Trammell
Harris

I am keeping those 8 as of now.

Powell is making the team so one of those has to go. Trammell has looked like a Kupp Lite type prospect... hopefully we can store him on the PS this year.

 

[Merlin]

Harris might be TE#3?

Doubtful to me but never know. Harris has clearly worked hard on his physicality. There has been a discernable difference and it might win him a roster spot but I still think he's on that bubble.

He has a couple more games here, well at least one, where he can demonstrate that he belongs. I'd like to see him make it because that upside is very attractive. But I wouldn't be laying bets one way or the other honestly it's a tough call.

 

[Jacobarch]

Every year. We have a wr that looks good in preseason. And almost every year they're cut and then put on the PS.

Yeah, but not normally this good. When you have a national broadcaster who doesn't care about the Rams except as a competitor, excited to see a late round/UDFA WR play in a preseason game, that's beyond just Rams homers getting excited...

Time will tell. I don't get excited for preseason players anymore

Someone else posted Powell as a designated KR.
Im doing the same here.
Although, teams can configure themselves how they want.....they could carry 10 WRs if they wanted.
Trammell to me is sort of a Wes Welker type more than Kupp.....or the smaller WR on the Jets who has done well.
I think if either McCutcheon (no chance) or Trammell won't make it to the PS.

 

[fearsomefour]

I see all the folks who were mocking me for mocking Harris as a TE are warming up to the idea now.

Most of the time when people suggest moving a WR to TE, they also suggest that guy put on a decent amount of weight.
I don’t know if you did, so I’m not accusing you.
Harris & Skow ain’t gonna put on 20 pounds. Not happening.
Also not going to be an in-line blocker.

20 pounds should be easy for these to put on.....well, not easy, it's never easy, but, certainly doable.
I said Harris would have to get up to at least 240-ish to put his hand down.
I agree with in line blocking not being practical for either to really pick up at this time. But, blocking is expected by McVay from his WR. We have already seen Skow is a willing blocker.
It doesn't really matter much because designated either a TE, in reality, is just a way to get more WRs on the roster without trying to appear so overloaded in one position. A 6' 5" WR converting to a TRUE TE....not likely. The same guy designated as a TE to try and help mismatches in the pass game could happen......all of that said, they are all probably staying at WR.

I tend to bring the salt shaker when washing preseason.
But....McCutcheon certainly has blown all expectations.
Week 1 was physical, catch radius, great hands fighting for 50-50 balls.
Week 2 was nice routes and getting open.
Very impressive.
He will not make it through waivers, so, he is making the roster.

 

[rdlkgliders]

I think we carry 10 between WR/TE Kupp, A-Rob, Tutu, VJ, Skow, Cutch, Powell/ Higz & Hop
Harris & Carter for the 10th spot. Trammell and the one left off the 53 between Harris & Carter to P.S
I won't be terribly surprised to see 11 but we have a room full of capable DB's carrying only 2 reserves @ Ol is scary and being pretty committed to 4 RB's makes the numbers tough.
This is probably the most interesting cutdown period in recent memory for me as a fan

Yes… the Rams, as Jourdan put it, like to have all their WRs (cept Tutu & Powell) do “tight end things.”

College tape means very little in the league. Atwell got rag dolled last year and even though he might be a little stronger he still isn’t more than 160.

Give me the big dude who is showing he can out muscle smaller defenders, his ceiling is high than Atwell who is nothing more than a gadget player and a bad pick.

lol years worth of college tape means very little but 2 preseason games means the world to you? cmon man, at this point in their careers the college tape means MUCH MUCH more than their few preseason games theyve played. and if you think tutu is a gadget player you really know nothing about his game and/or are profiling him purely off his size and speed. tavon was a gadget player, tutu is a legit wr who happens to be small

If it comes to Tutu Atwell,last preseason showed me more than any college game he played because of how small in statue he is. I was sold,but he still needed to develop because of the lack of Reps he had & how far behind he was. Ben Sko had basically passed him up ?
Then again Atwell showed he could handle Punts.

—If you don’t think what Cutch is doing during the preseason isn’t more impressive than what he did in college? Well IMO that’s your choice.I’ve watched a lot of football & seen more preseason games than I’d want to admit.
—An example was last season I’d been following New England & that Stevenson RB went off for 3 TD’d,plus what he had already done in the preseason last year.
I was very happy the Pats RB’s we’re doing so well. Next thing you know Sony Michael became available!
The rest was a history year 2022.

Dat & Dak for the Cowboys we’re enough to know they were both under drafted. I mean you can go & look at there college careers as well.

Then you add the Combine & Seniors Bowls or the other recruiting games. Those players prove they can make it in The NFL.

None of it is exact,but there is solid info.

honestly, im not even sure exactly what youre saying or what your point is, but seems to be that youre trying to say i dont think preseason production matters? if thats the case, thats not what i mean at all. Sure every year theres preseason warriors that are out of the lg within a year or 2, but theres also ppl that make a name for themself and carry over to a good career. Im not saying McCutcheon is either of those, to me the jury is still out.
all im saying is tutu and mccutcheon both had good preseason games their rookie years, and neither has done anything yet in a real nfl game. But tutu had the better college career/tape and looked good enough in practice to warrant not playing preseason games, which mcvay notoriously sits starters/ key contributors. IMO, theres really nothing to suggest mccutheon is higher than tutu other than recency bias of his preseason production

Well your very correct in that statement. Harris has had a harder time staying on the field than Tutu Atwell. He has to become part of it all as well.
Cutch & Harris are both behind Atwell & Sko at the moment.All those young players are going to find there way on the team. If anything right there is an example of creating room or space.
In The Rams system they try to make the most out of opportunity of there practice time.Mcvay holds players & coaches accountable.
—Right now there are only so many reps players can get during practice.Tutu & Sko are basically on The Varsity squad.They have proven themselves & made the roster.
—Cutch & Harris basically have as well but need more quality Reps.Live reps are good.

 

[So Ram]

honestly, im not even sure exactly what youre saying or what your point is,

It goes with the O’Line as well.These live Reps are huge.I don’t know what is going to happen here?
This week we will get more reports.Keep a eye on how things look this preseason?
—IMO Arcuri looked real good at LT.It goes back to watching him in one on one’s.Is he better on the right than the left? I also like him at RG.
—Then you have AJ Jackson who even at training camp looked good at RG. I hope The Rams notice it as well.When you look at tape from practice to games these things will start to pop out.
I also notice David Edwards wasn’t looking as solid as maybe he should after being a 3 year starter at Guard?

If your talking about Cutch he is right a long the lines of Harris.He is actually pushing Harris to be better. .Jacob Harris though is listed as a TE who I believe Mcvay will try to use as a hybrid version of Travis Kielce.

Every year. We have a wr that looks good in preseason. And almost every year they're cut and then put on the PS.

That’s Trammell. McCutcheon could probably start on other teams.
