I actually think no. And I’m always right about these things just like @Allen2McVay
I think there is a lot of talent WR that can be got later. If he is there I hope they trade back. I don't see any difference between him and Cooper.
Fair enough. I think the "local kid" angle has appeal to them though.
Imo if they don't love a wr there for them I could see a cb or an ol. Styles is the one I'm hoping for at 13 but doubt he's there. Edge would be interesting too.
Yes, I love listening to the guy talk football/positions/QB play/etc. And something he said was really facinating. He said most coaches look at receivers (or many players for that matter) through scheme adaptability/how they fit their particular scheme. I feel very confident McVay is no different. It's not like he says, "fuck it, Eric can make anyone a great WR", though he may think that's not too far from the truth. Yet we question the Tutu pick. And it is bafflng. How did he think Tutu "fit" in his scheme? He drafted Harris (#141) and Skowronek (#249) the same draft and none of the 3 put up good numbers.
The 4 highest draft receivers during McVay's tenure are Tutu #57, VJ #57, Kupp #69 and Reynolds #117. Certainly Kupp was the cream of the crop but Reynolds was no slouch. Of the last 3 picked (Puka #177, Whittington #213 and Mumfield #242), Puka is the beast but the other two have shown some promise, though their 50 combined catches is less than half of Tutu's (105). It begs the question what could McVay and Yarber do with a mid to high first round WR?
After listening to Cosell, I'd like to see Brazzell or Fields (or Sarratt for that matter) with trade downs, but I wouldn't be upset with Lemon, Concepcion or Cooper without a trade.
Think Fano and Freeling only potential guys that can? Not a big Freeling guy myself
Talent yes, but most require more development if you’re talking late rd 2 or further. Tate, Lemon, Tyson, Cooper are going to transition much better IMO, and the rams have already poked around upgrading the WR room. I would be truly surprised if a pass catcher isn’t taken with our first rd pick.

This is a good point, in that draft McVay was taking a stab at imperfect players who all shared one trait he was looking for in the offense: downfield threat. Tutu with his speed, Skow with his size and Harris with his size/speed combo.
I would not be surprised if the Rams tried to double dip looking for a downfield weapon (possibly an X) that has size or speed or perhaps both but missing a ton of polish as a route runner and with their hands.
I like that guy, where is he projected to go ?
Looks like a faster Puka type to me.
