Makes the most sense. If there's only so many guys to covet, then you better go and get them.

He's 30 pounds heavier than tutu was on draft day, believe it or not. He's about Desean Jackson's size.
I won't lie guys... I'm circling back around on Sadiq. Seems like a very, very real possibility and leans into Snead's preferences for elite athletes early plus McVay's love for the tight end position and recent trends into 13 personnel. I have some questions about his route running ability and mediocre production but I can see him being very high on the Rams big board with rare traits in what he brings to both the pass and run game. Not necessarily where I'd go personally but I think he'll be available at 13 and just trying to read the tea leaves here.
Like I said - he went into detail regarding his reasons - and it's a show on tv, not a click-baity website.
Hood is better staying with a WR on longer routes, where Delane struggles with that.
Yeah, teams have a short list of targets, probably based more on need & BPA at that need position, vs settling for a elite guy at any position since there are fewer elite players. So they have to maneuver to get that guy or bail out and get more darts to throw.
Well, Athlon Sports says the same thing about Delane...but they do have him ranked #1, even over McCoy.
Jesus fuck. Didn't realize Mauigoa had a back issue. Shit was already thin enough in our pick range.

He's not even 180, nah I'm good. I want bigger WRs.....and no he's got like 12 lbs on Tutu lol
My prediction for Rams pick at 13 has been Lemon, steadily for a Month. I now put Sadiq in that spot with 2 weeks to go. Mostly for the reasons you pointed out.
I'm far from a Branch guy but he's actually right. Tutu came into the combine at a legendary 149 lbs lol
My friend Memphis won't like this comparison, but he's more Tavon than Tutu. Of course, he is a more polished WR than Tavon was coming out, but like Tavon, he's not a deep threat who plays outside. He's a slot, return man, and gadget guy. If we draft him, I'll trust McVay. I'm sure he can get use out of him.
I like my short WR's, phat! ~ @El Chapo Jr
Well, I used to think that way until he signed Tutu for $10M for a year.
Eh, I still trust him - we all make mistakes.
I agree. Even McVay makes mistakes from time to time.
So I will trust McVay on most things but Branch I just can't if he gets picked.
I didn't like the Tutu pick in 2021 and even hate it even more after the 10M fiasco last year.

He's not the only person with that opinion.
I saw a video where some draft guy named Jonah Tuls has Hood, Delane, and McCoy as the 10th, 11th, and 12th ranked players in the draft overall (He said McCoy would be top 5 if not for durability concerns).
He said that he really values players that have that click and close and is strong in off man coverage. He also believes he's the best run defender at the position in the draft. He stated that Delane is the smartest and best zone CB in the draft, though.
I guess it also doesn't help that Delane is smaller and doesn't have prototypical arm length.
Im not averse to drafting another small WR, but he’d better be a dog from the neck up. An alpha competitor. Lives and breathes football. A fuck you attitude on the field. All of the best little guys had/have that. Steve Smith is the pioneer in that regard but there are many. Welker, Flowers, Cobb, D. Jax etc
Rams need to do their homework in that aspect before drafting another Tavon or Tutu.

He's got 12 pounds on current tutu. Tutu weighed 149 at the draft lol
Yeah. The "i don't want small guys" us a bit oversighted to me. I don't think anyone on this board would shy away from having Zay on the team lol. Same with Devonta Smith, who is 170 at most.
