Whatever happens will definitely be a "splash". The Rams don't take little swings with qb.

And it will probably be something nobody saw coming and makes little if no sense for the other team (Josh Allen, Drake Maye, etc.).

Got to be just a little realistic.

Maybe the Rams do go for a 'splash' ... but it would be a top-tier-QB for team that is NOT performing well.

In 3rd or 4th round?

Yeah, I see big boards and mocks that have him in the 130's... 4th rd. If he comes out, he probably climbs, maybe even gets pumped up like Dart did and goes late rd1 or rd2 like Shough. However, I don't see him as a top 15 guy.

Another option is LSU. Kiffin moves in and Nuss is a senior right?

Yes I think the group of smaller QBs is what we are looking at, barring a move up. And this year's class has a large haul potentially of those smaller dudes who have a mix of things McVay might be interested in and won't require moving up for or at least too much positioning.

Guys like Simpson, Nussmeier, Mateer, Klubnik. Simpson we'll see how he finishes but he just looks small the more I watch his tape. And it's strong tape but size matters. Nussmeier surprised me, I like him a lot more than I figured I would once I started focusing on his game but he's a bit slight of frame too. I've always liked Mateer and he's a bit beefier like a RB, but his throwing day will determine where he slots as teams will have some arm strength concerns I'd imagine. Haven't watched Klubnik closely yet but gonna look at everything I can find on him this weekend.

He's 6'4" and moves well, with a cannon. He will have GMs salivating at his pro day. Top 3 almost for sure I would say, so if we get him I imagine it would be with a move up.

I'd be very damn happy with the Rams taking him. He's a serious kid in his interviews, which I like more than the goofy MFers. I'm probably one of the few who actually put stock in interviews. But I feel like they give me a small window into the personality which matters to me.

As I linked above right now a lot have him in our first pick range. That of course can and will change if he even declares.

Also if we don't take a QB in the first few picks then I prefer Cole Payton midrounds. He won't get too high in the draft even if he smokes his pro day because he only has one season (also NDSU QB track record in the NFL is a steaming pile of excrement). Insane athlete. Has some throws that are just damn. But he needs a lot of seasoning so draft him, stick his ass behind 9, and if he doesn't develop move him to TE.

Yeah I saw that. I've seen him listed stupid low in fact. PFF has him at 73 overall which is absurd.

Needless to say there's a lot of changes ahead. But I'm sure he'll be top 3. May even be the top pick so I think he will come out this year.

I think if you're a round 2-3 QB on the board nowadays and have a chance to play relatively early, there's gonna be teams considering using those late first rounders to get the 5th year option. Because if you hit on that pick the value of that year is insanely good. Shough is just the latest example of that type of thinking at work.

I never saw Dart as being pumped up though. He was a slam dunk round 1 QB to my eye. When he came in over 6'2" at the combine that was that. Because his film kicked ass.
