I always enjoy listening to Cosell. He sums things up pretty good I think. I agree with him that Lemon is smooth and fits most teams, but he's not big and he's not explosive. This is why, as a USC fan, I'm not jumping on the table for him. He's the kind of player you want in your wideout corps, but he's gonna slot in the NFL and five years from now he'll be a good starter in the slot I am sure, so he's got a nice floor to him. But will he be a stud?
Hurst is interesting. I didn't like his drops, first off, and that plus the level of competition hurt him. But he's got length to him, and also has the wheels you want, so Cosell's right in saying he's the guy with all the tools you want in that X role.
For me personally I want an X addition that fits Stafford. Which means length, catch radius, toughness, and great hands. Which is why I like Boston so much. But Hurst or Fields would be fine as well, and I'd rather see us take a shot on that boundary role than add another fucking slot. Especially a slot who is smaller and generally inferior to the 6'2" benchmark that McVay slots have carried.
Bell -- if he makes it to us at 61.
Hopefully other teams want immediate production and pass on him. While we can be patient with him year one slowly getting back.

Field Yates in his latest mock draft for ESPN has the Rams selecting Chris Bell at 61st overall as a redshirt pick. Yates projects him to go in the mid-to-late second round, but had him in the first round prior to his injury with Mel Kiper, Jr. placing him as a mid-first-rounder pre-injury. Both see value in the Rams waiting on Bell for a year or so to fully recover and be a productive player for the team as possibly Davante Adams's replacement next season. Yates mocked Monroe Freeling to the Rams at 13th overall while Kiper, Jr. thinks that they'll consider Jordyn Tyson or Makai Lemon with that pick.
I still anticipate the Rams taking two receivers with 2 of their 3 Day 1 and Day 2 picks. whether it's two wide receivers with picks in the first and second round or a wide receiver in either Round 1 or 2 and a tight end in Round 3.

Granted it's from Charlie Campbell for Walter Football, but does anyone disagree with his rankings and assessment of this year's class of wide receivers?

Yeah, Day 2 picks are surely not late in the draft picks

NFL Pro Day Notes: Jalen Stroman, Deamonte Trayanum Stand Out
From explosive testing numbers to sharp position drills, find out why Jalen Stroman and Deamonte Trayanum are rising on NFL draft boards.

Receiver Malachi Fields did not run the forty, standing on his mark from Indianapolis, but did run the short shuttle in a time of 4.25 seconds, then participated in position drills, looking exceptional catching the ball. Fields is projected to be a Day 2 selection, likely going late in the second round or early in the third. Someone close to him told me, the round one conversation surrounding Fields after the Senior Bowl was nonsense, as was the speculation that he would fall to Day 3 after his Combine performance.
He met extensively with the Los Angeles Rams and New York Jets, a pair of teams that need receivers. If the Rams don’t take a receiver with the 13 pick, Fields would most definitely be in play for them when they are on the clock with the 61st selection, especially with all the rumors about the team potentially moving Davante Adams.
I like Malachi Fields. Great agility for a big man. And he's very physical. Lacks top-end speed, but he can win the 1-on-1s down the field due to his size, physicality, and catch radius.NFL Pro Day Notes: Jalen Stroman, Deamonte Trayanum Stand Out

If they were to grab him at 61, I would hope they take a developmental speed guy late.
