Certainly not. But they need to do better with those round 2 picks as well as their TE selections. Good thing is the Rams self-evaluate so they don't need us to tell them that.
Tutu can't be considered a bust. Hea hurt. But yes I agree there were better picks. Even if it wasn't a sexy pic the Rams could have used a more needed positionCertainly not.

McVay's round 2 picks...
2017: Everett
2018: Traded for Sammy Watkins
2019: Rapp
2020: Akers
2021: Tutu
Everett was McVay's first pick and if he had been any good he would be a star in this offense.
Watkins was a shitter who took snaps off and didn't move the needle all that much. Miss for the use of the pick IMO.
Rapp would probably be a star if Wade was our DC but he's not and we run a more diverse defense now. Not Rapp's fault he's in wrong defense.
Akers has had injury probs which is weird given his career in college. I still think he has a bright future though.
Tutu has room to be a good pick but thus far all we have is his little ass getting injured and missing time and McVay observing he needs to display more dedication.

Well it definitely puts a damper on the run game, Hopkins looked like Tim Tebow trying to block earlier this season, and Blanton? Well, lets just hope he can keep it going
I think I'd use Skowronek instead of Hopkins. Have Benny Skow play as a WR/TE hybrid.
Isn't that what he's already doing?
My point is that I wouldn't use Hopkins. I would use Skowronek. Yes, they've done that to an extent. I'd stick with it. Skow is listed at 6'3" 225. He's not much smaller than some slot TEs. It's too bad Jacob Harris suffered that season-ending injury.
My point is that they already do.
I wouldn't play Hopkins at all on offense. Skow played 12% of the offensive snaps against Arizona, 8% of the offensive snaps against TB, and 27% of the offensive snaps against SF. Instead of giving Hopkins snaps, I'd simply give Benny more. I consider him a WR/TE tweener more than anything.
I had to laugh out loud on that one.
He's been kicking ass on the run plays where he's in the fullback role so agreed. Took that shit from Woody when he went down and has gotten better and better.
