Well you wont have to worry about Mathews going unnoticed by the Rams coaching and scouting staffs. He played alongside Stacy last year and had his best year, he had a great year this season as well. I am sure the scouts saw him while watching Stacy. Zac is in their ear about Mathews for sure so I think he will get a fair look

If we get a WR, I hope so. This kids special.
not to mention hes jerry rices cousin I think.
They are 100% on different roles. Allen is an outside receiver and 100% purely a receiver. Austin was drafted to be that "x factor."
Allen may always be a better receiver than Austin; however, Austin can destroy a team (see colts) once he gets it all figured out.
Yeah, but he has refused any advice offered by Jerry. He said he wanted to get himself to the NFL before he starts learing from Jerry (which makes it scary how good he can become)
actually...to me its scary that he didn't want the input of the best WR of all time.

Yea I read about that too, there the same bloodline that's going to be interesting. I wouldn't mind having Jerry Rice 2.0 on the Rams.
Neither would I. It would be nice if we could get him in the second round but I'd imagine he will go late first or very early in the second.
I really think we will grab one of the top 4-5 WR's in the draft. As the draft gets closer the allure of an offensive weapon always garners some extra notice. Also the OL prospects are pretty deep so are the DB's. I think our next needs are LB depth QB backup project and WR. I could easily see us putting priority on WR over LB and QB and with the depth at the other positions we may find ourselves with a Too good to pass up WR as our second first rounder or in the 2nd. And then there is always the fact the we are always enamored by the TE position drafting either 9 or 10 in the last 10 years. obviously the TE quip is sarcasm.....I think?
If they're talking about the interview he did on the radio a while ago, I was listening to that and I'm pretty sure he was intimating that Quick will never be a #1. He said he didn't see a #1 at all on the team so they need to draft one.
...I agree with him.
The Rams obviously think enough of his teaching skills to keep having him spend time with the WR's and teach them.
No way no how. Also I liked Allen but Austin is a different animal all together...he's Darren Sproles/Reggie Bush, he's a weapon who can score from anywhere. Allen looks to be a nice #2 wr. Completely different players and I would nevver trade Austin for Allen.
I can't decide how I feel about Sherman. He has some big name WR's on his resume but I don't see that much progress from our WR's. Givens has actually regressed. I don't know what to think about him.
Last year we had Amendola and Gibson like them or not they took a lot of attention and pressure off of Givens. This year Givens was matched up against opposing teams #1 corner ( 5 of 12 DB's in the pro bowl are in the NFC West) and we didn't have anyone to take the pressure off of him on a consistent basis, sure there was growth by Quick, and Pettis is Pettis but no real alternate outside threat. Whether Quick steps up Austin is more involved, Bailey continues to grow and Givens gets tougher and more competitive remains to be seen. But this team will absolutely benefit from a number 1 WR. Now it is just a matter of does it come from within or do we go get it.

Sammy Watkins - 85 rec, 1,237 yards, 10 tds.
Jordan Matthews - 107 rec, 1,334 yards, 5 tds.
You are comparing appls to a watermelon. Two different players completely. If we go by stats then Pettis should be MUCH better than Megatron.
