A lot of people think the team blew the draft when their picks don't align with media, when it's the media that blew their predictions. People act like the team doesn't know as much as some joe blow wannabe doing a podcast.I find it interesting how whenever the Rams don’t draft who some thought they should, that it’s the Rams who are wrong, not they themselves. I didn’t realize we had such perfect people here on ROD.

Shedeur is a great example of this. Totally media driven prospect. If his name was Shedeur Jackson he'd never have been considered a top prospect in the first place.A lot of people think the team blew the draft when their picks don't align with media, when it's the media that blew their predictions.

It's not just on ROD. Draftniks everywhere get their knickers in a twist when their favourite prospects are overlooked; I suppose that they can't accept the fact that they were so wrong.

And … Jimmy Clausen … and … Brady Quinn.What about the year he had WR Mike Williams as the best player on his board. He was frothing at the mouth after every pick that wasn't Mike Williams. Eventually the Lions, the idiots, picked him up with the 10th pick. He gave their draft grade an A+ instantly. Said they got the biggest steal in draft history.
He ended up being one of the biggest busts in draft history.
Funny.

That’s the thing u think it’s a position of need rams don’t think that … I think they cool with Durant , Witherspoon , Forbes and Williams … and they get cb back who tore aclI agree with those who graded the draft high but we missed an opportunity IMO at the back of the 7th and in UDFA
We had a great opportunity to sign CBs Cobee Bryant and Zy Alexander together with OTs Logan Brown and Hollin Pierce
It kills me that we didn’t throw some money at them to get them signed. All four should have been drafted ahead of Mumford
Our draft is pretty cheap in terms of salary impact so I am a surprised we didn’t do everything to sign these 4 UDFA - at positions of need - one of which, at least, would probably have made the active roster
No I disagree because he was a better qb then everybody picked before him except for maybe cam ward and it wasn’t even closeShedeur is a great example of this. Totally media driven prospect. If his name was Shedeur Jackson he'd never have been considered a top prospect in the first place.

Cobee Bryant concerns me given his size as a potential liability vs. the run. Also, not a fan of all the penalties either. Especially in college as the NFL seems to call things even tighter.EsI agree with those who graded the draft high but we missed an opportunity IMO at the back of the 7th and in UDFA

Heck no.He should say - Fuck It - I'm retiring
Snead and McVay said as much in their press conference. They were fine only drafting 6 because there's not a lot of space for rookies given their roster.Let's see what spots are even open (roster locks):
QB (2)
RB (3) - Rivers likely the 4th
WR (5) - battle for 6th spot between X. Smith and UDFAs - though Smith likely wins and is the returner
TE (4)
OL (7) - calling both Shelton and McClendon locks here - battle for two spots between Leveston, Arcuri, Dedich and McMahon
DL (6) - Turner, Fiske, Ford, Hamilton, Johnson, Davis - Murchison fighting for us to keep a 7th
Edge (5) - Verse, Young, Stewart, Jackson, Hampton - Thomas fighting for us to keep a 6th
ILB (3) - Landman, Speights, Paul - Reeder fighting for us to keep a 4th
CB (5) - trade might bump one of the bottom guys, but no room for a UDFA here unless they blow the staff away
S (4) - Lake, Curl, Kinchens, McColough
ST (3)
After the draft, that is roughly 47 locks and then Rivers, X. Smith, Murchison, Keir Thomas, Reeder and four OL who have been with us for years fighting for three spots.
That is 9 players who have been with our organization in some capacity fighting for the last six roster spots alongside the UDFA class.
I wouldn't get attached to any of these guys - going to take a lot to make this team this year
