Well, Matthews is one of the most prolific WRs in SEC history, is 6'3" with 4.4 speed, and is a fluid mover. So I guess I see #1 type potential. I think he has Jordy Nelson like ability.
We'll see... I trust Snisher so far... we'll see...

At the top of round2

Stanley Jean Baptiste
Carlos Hyde
Jimmy Garapolo


Towards the back of Round2
Weston Richberg
Pierre Desir
AJ McCarron.
Allen Robinson

I list options because I could see the Rams trading picks and moving up or back for their guy. I could see them moving up for a guy like SJB. Then trading back into round2 for McCarron or Desir for example. Moving up worked great last year and they considered it in round1 so they, and I like, grabbing players that they rated much higher than where they are available. Stacy was better likely better than the guys they would have taken in rounds 6 & 7.

Trade up!

Highest rated DB on the board, then trade up for one of the big backs and call it a day.

I don't like that Seattle now sits in front of us at #40 as a result of the Minnesota trade. They may be targeting the best WR on the board there. At least they won't likely be drafting a DB.

As long as they don't take LaMarcus, they can have the WR...preferably Marqise Lee. :LOL:

My top 3 would be:
1. Jordan Matthews, WR Vanderbilt - I think he has the #1 ability (as long as he keeps hold of the ball)
2. LaMarcus Joyner FS FSU
3. Marqise Lee, WR USC

Thats what i was just thinking. Su'a-Filo will go soon IMO. Washington will look hard at OLine. Atlanta will probably look at pass rush. Maybe we get a run on OLine to help Joyner slide.

I know you love Matthews, but where do you put Allen Robinson on our board?

Much further down. I have nothing against the kid but I just don't really love him. Didn't see him as special. And I like to draft guys that I feel strongly about.

Hopefully, Joyner and Su'a-Filo aren't gone; I'd gladly take either one of them (or maybe both) in the second round.

I know that we're going to put Robinson at left guard for now, but Su'a-Filo would be the guy to fill in for the future. Aside from that, what happens if Long/Saffold/Wells go down? Robinson would shift to left tackle, and Jones/Barnes would fill in at center...but you'd still need another guard.

Joyner would be my free safety now that Bucannon (FUCK YOU, ARIZONA! ...Sorry, had to get that out, lawl.) is off the board. And to be frank...I wouldn't mind that in the least. You'd have a durable guy who can generate splash plays and be a nice compliment to McDonald.

Plus, lets be honest, who doesn't want to see this happen to Marshawn Lynch?

Oh, I'd love to see that happen to Lynch. I never liked the guy, especially after that hit-and-run he was involved with in Buffalo.

Joyner's my preference for a safety. If we can somehow snag him and Su'a-Filo...I don't think any words would be enough to describe how absolutely jacked I'd be. Either way, we've got some more picks to play with. It's going to be very fun to see how Snisher uses them.

I agree with you on moving up in the 2nd round. This is a deep draft and getting two guys in this 2nd round could be huge. We have the ammo to get it done and still keep our 3rd round pick. And with those picks:

Bitonio/Su'a Filo
Mathews/Robinson
Jean-Baptiste ( Make him a FS)/Reynolds
Then, let's go get us a little insurance at QB, RB, CB and sprinkle some depth in for OLB.

Or we could go OLB in the 2nd:

Van Noy
Bradford

When you watch the full games you see what is Special about Allen Robinson. He makes the big plays when the need to be made. He was always the guy who stepped up and didn't something that moved the chains or scored the TD. His TD catch at the end of the Michigan game was clutch and classic Robinson.

But if you are talking attributes I get ya. He did test very well at his pro day but he doesn't do any one thing great. He is just all around good at everything. He has the size and I bet he would be better than Quick is right now........which may be as good as Quick is period.

Hey guys, who are your top guys that you'd like to see the Rams pick in the second round?
For me right now:
1. LaMarcus Joyner FS FSU
2. Jordan Matthews WR Vanderbilt
3. Phillip Gaines CB Rice
4. Joel Bitonio OL Nevada (I think Bitonio is likely our pick if he's on the board)
5. Derek Carr QB Fresno State

Good Morning Jrry32
Easy for me the best pick @#44 would be OL Joel Bitonio but the big need pick is DB LaMarcus Joyner to play the Nickle. Gaines is the best pure corner on the board now.
So my list would be:
#1-OT/OG Joel Bitonio
#2-FS/CB La Marcus Joyner
#3-CB Phillip Gaines
#4-OLG Su'a-Filo
#5-ORG Gabe Jackson
