Does he take over the LB/S role in sub packages or will Rapp be there?

Rapp is so good playing close to the line. love him there.
Christian, who had a pretty solid year, is gone of course.
Don’t know anything about this guy but Snead has surely been able to identify DB talent.

 

[HE WITH HORNS]

I like this pick, should be our slot corner, taking over for NRC.

 

[Allen2McVay]

May compete for the slot-CB role in the Nickel.

 

[LA_Rams_#29]

Love this pick. Solid playmaker...tough tackler. He can play the slot corner or free safety. Like that versatility

 

[RamsFanCK]

I know nothing, but none of ya seem upset, so I’m on board!

 

[simonblaze]

Most of what i read about him is he projects as coverage free safety that can play the slot just as well, which is exactly what we need...i have high hopes for this pick.

 

[LARAMSinFeb.]

Looks like he enjoys tackling, and is good at it.

I think hes our new starting nickel right now. Great versatility, good tackler. Looks to be very solid

 

[jjab360]

This regime knows DBs and this guy seems solid, I have high expectations here

Welcome to the horns TB!

Can't wait to see Kyler Murray and Russell Wilson run around and NOT find holes any more. Let's freaking go.

FS/ nickel. My guess is he plays slot on run downs and moves to safety on passing situations.

 

[TexasRam]

He's a hell of an open field tackler who closes gaps in no time. Good replacement for NRC who was also excellent at that.

He will most likely cover in the Slot when the Rams use the Big Nickel package ; 3 Safeties.

Yes! Agreed. Rams may have the best Secondary in the NFC West now. And, if they can snag CB Reggie Robinson from Tulsa in the late rounds, I'll say it may compete as one the best in the NFC.

Burgess is a big upgrade over M. Christian.

I remember when we picked John Johnson, a lot of us, including myself, weren't so sure about that pick. Burgess has a lot in common with John. John is a bit bigger, but Burgess is a better athlete. Both have legitimate man cover skills and are versatile safeties. Burgess can play split or single high (although, he's only competent as a single high), he can play in the box, or he can cover the slot. He's a useful piece as a third safety.

Good post. I remembering all the grumbling when JJ was selected.

I was in the minority and loved the JJ pick but I didn’t honestly think he was going to be as solid as he’s been. I sadly think we don’t resign him next offseason.
