I gotta say that Will Howard is intriguing. He has starting QB tools: 6'4" 235, starter arm talent, and good athleticism. It's the decision making and post-snap reads that get him in trouble. Interesting developmental guy. If it comes together for him mentally, you have something.
Agree. I don't like the early-round QBs, but I do like the 3rd round types if they get to sit and develop. I like Dart and Gabriel as well.

Jalen Royals is this year's version of my draft crush that will likely rise too far above our pick. I love a smooth, dynamic receiver. He's got a 3rd round grade right now, but I think Scouts will catch on, and he becomes a 2nd round pick.

Glad we aren't in anything more than a backup/3rd string QB market this year.

I'm an atheist but I strongly value faith and what it brings society, and I am a big fan of players of faith. I see that as an advantage in expectation they will work hard and be a good locker room addition. I already liked this kid's film, and after watching that I like him as a prospect even more.
Not an overly religious myself but he speaks well and sounds grounded and down to earth. More importantly would be likely to avoid the distractions of LA and be a big-time baller. I believe he will kill it at the combine and likely could .be drafted long before our pick however. Still think the first pick will be an offensive playmaker. If they go corner, Revel coming off an ACL could be the guy. I know the scouts love him.

Looks like minus a trade up the highest the Rams will select is #26. Probably time to consider some other players.

If we wait that long on a CB I think I'd rather take 2 if that makes sense.

Easy to pick in that site since their trades aren’t realistic. It always seems each site has its strengths and weaknesses. Pissed me off if the bothered to make a mock draft with paying someone to write the code and algorithms why not make it realistic? SMH of course it takes weekly correction to but even if they did monthly before the off season smh

on past trades since sneaks been here he averages 3 trades a draft. I know we are more than likely going to.. on pfn on my mocks I always have to go to the draft trade chart to find trade partners who have picks that it numerically makes sense.

Anyways, I really like Jason Marshall as a 4-6 rounder for us. Hope his stock don’t climb! lol
