If Dexter Lawrence is available when the Rams pick in the 1st Round can they pass him up? He seems to me to be the perfect player in the Rams 3-4 next to Aaron Donald and Michael Brockers!
Yes. I'd pass on him for a handful of guys.
Don't bite Jrry.I'll bite Jrry. Name the handful of guys you'd pick before Dexter.

Let's say Wade & Henderson run out this trio as our startershttps://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2019/4...fl-draft-2019-scouting-report-clemson-defense
I was hoping the Rams would pick him. He might not be the perfect fit as a run defender that may be only a two down player. I do think he could get down some in weight without losing much strength. He might develop a few pass rush moves that would make him a better pass rusher. Having him next to Donald could make the defensive line effective in both run and pass downs. Could be a trade down is in order. I'm tired of teams running up the middle of the defense. While Donald gets doubled and tripled teamed Lawrence can be very disruptive one on one with any interior offensive lineman.

5 tech- Franklin 6-4/287
NT- Brockers 6-5/305
3 tech- Donald 6-0/270?
This unit is ultra light & would be the smallest in the NFL. The current reserves are also on the small size too:
Tanzel Smart 6-1/290 3rd season
Morgan Fox 6-3 275 4th season
Joseph-Day 6-4/310 first season.
I don't think we've met with him as one of our top 30? So I don't think we draft him. But personally I run to the podium. Planting him next to Donald will take care of any potential effort issues. Also sets our DL for the next three-four years with JFM taking over for Brock next year
Let’s not forget, draft season is a lot like poker, we can’t be willing to show our hand too much. In years past, on many occasions, we drafted players who didn’t stop in for a visit. We have to keep our interest low so no one hops in front of us for him if he’s our guy!
Okay, I'll list guys who could possibly be there:
Jeff Simmons DT Mississippi State
Devin Bush ILB Michigan
Jachai Polite OLB Florida
Nasir Adderley FS Delaware
There are some others whom I am still pondering because it's a closer call (Chauncey Gardner, Taylor Rapp, the OL guys (ex. Bradbury), and a couple CBs).
If Devin Bush is still there, run to the podium. Actually if he's still there at #28 / #29, we should put a package together somehow.

While that may have been the case last year, it is hardly a given. I think they plan visits with players they want more info on or get a better feel.In another thread someone pointed out that most of our picks last year were guys that we met with.

I'm sure there are players on their list with no visits planned .
