I'd gladly take Chris Johnson out of San Diego State with the 13th overall pick without even thinking twice. That's my go-to guy, for me. Credit @Merlin for being the first one on him.
32nd is tricky. I might even trade out of that pick, go for a second and a third if a team's willing to swing it. I've mentioned it before, but I'm a huge D'Angelo Ponds (Indiana) fan. He may be 5'9", but he's got that dawg in him that I love out of a corner, causes a lot of takeaways, doesn't back down from anyone. Like Tyrann Mathieu, only he can actually play corner.

When it's a situation like this.......Maybe isn't asked to throw very often.....those pulling for MVP have to move the goalposts. It's the roster. It's Stat Padford.
Take a look at his splits for the 4th quarter.......
72 of 107 for 824 yards, 3 TDs, 1 Int, 95.7 QB rating, 36 rushes for 61 yards (1.7) 0 TDs ..... He's produced three 4th quarter TDs. Why so little? Because of their weak schedule, they are leading most games in the 4th quarter.
Stafford?
81 of 127 for 1024, 13 TDs, 1 Int, 119.7 QB rating and if you include OT, he's 89 of 138 for 1150 yards, 14 TD, 1 Int with a 121.3 QB rating.
I can't think of anything more valuable than a QB's 4th quarter play.
The other day Cowherd suggested "some" were saying the Rams were dialing up passes to bump his numbers. That's bullshit. The Rams were down in the 2nd half, he caught fire and McVay rode him. The argument the Rams are more talented is also irrelevant. It's offset by the absolutely fucking weak schedule New England has navigated. I like Maye. He's playing really, really well. But he's no Matt Stafford. And he isn't the MVP.
His rating when trailing less than 4 minutes to go?
Maye 81.1
Yeah, that's MVP caliber!!!!
Stafford? 93.5

So you're saying drafting AD was malpractice then since D line was not a need at the time....ok lol

Absolutely not. Most of the good young DBs are already locked into contracts (and the lone exception in Cor'Dale Flott will have everyone bidding for his services).
There are too many great young corners in this class that will be around for the taking, especially in the first round, to waste this opportunity. At wide receiver, unless Tate or Tyson falls to #13 (unlikely, but stranger things have happened), I don't spend it on a wide receiver. This draft is full of wide receivers (if not Tate or Tyson, Boston, Brazzell II, or Concepcion in the first or Bell, Lane, or Sarratt in the second) that have potential.
Most of the O-linemen entering the draft are tackles anyway; this is a poor guard and especially center class, and while I'm all for drafting a lineman with potential, that's not a strength in this class, and we're good at everything other than swing tackle and an eventual guard to replace one of Dotson or Avila (preferably Dotson; I'd personally love to extend Avila myself along with McClendon).
There are too many good DBs in this class to wait for a much worse free agency. It's much more likely we get our swing OT or another wide receiver in free agency than cornerback.
I know people like to play fantasy GM and all, but I'm sorry. There's no way in hell I would trade either one of those guys as they are in their prime and are working really well together and are among the toughest runners in the league.
And if one of them goes down we have Jarquez Hunter. Hell, even Ronnie Rivers is picking up his share of yardage when inserted.
If it ain't broke don't fix it.
Now I think our cornerback situation is kind of broken. I wouldn't even mind a really tough safety, if they can find one, in the first or second round as well.
I like a FA CB AND a R1/pick 2 or R2 CB. Save the R1/pick 1 for BPA.

I'd like to see runners broken down with charts of gains vs % of those gains.
Personally I'd take a RB that has a lot of 4-7s over a guy who has a 40 and a bunch of 1-3s.

What I have seen is it takes time for a DB coming out college to have any impact on D.... They usually spend thier time on ST, that's why FA is the way to go. You make some good points about the OL, but we need a WR in the 1st so that Puka doesn't get over used.
There is only one ball so only one RB at a time. 4 Dline and a rotation. So not a log jam at the Dline position like RB. Not the same thing.
You must have never met a Pittsburgh fan.
They are the biggest crybaby, overreacting drama queens I've ever seen in my life.
If you go to a sports bar and there's a Pittsburgh game on they'll be going crazy and dancing on the tables when they're winning. But after they lose they are underneath the tables soaking napkins with their tears.

The Immaculate Exception
He is going to beat all those numbers all by himself once he gets cut loose to wreak havoc. NFL hasn’t seen nothing yet!Sort of like Jarquez Hunter.

I get that argument but Donald was indeed drafted when it was thought he wasn't a need. Poster literally said not drafting for need is malpractice lol. If you do something like this, you do it for a special back like Love. Highly doubt he wouldn't see the field if he's picked that high as he's got speed in bunches and actually runs routes like a WR (there's literally tape on him doing so). I'm personally not expecting the Rams to do it as I'm on record saying I think it's a WR/CB depending how the the draft falls. I'm more so discussing it based on I get why the Rams would do it. The goal is to draft blue chip/elite players with high draft picks. If they do it, they can trade one of those backs later. Corum and Williams are pretty similar backs stylistically (edge to Kyren due to vision/goal line work) but Love is a whole other animal.
I know you're kidding around but I don't think it'll be anything like that but I think it could be a similar revelation that we saw McVay had after Blake Coram busted one for about 20 yards in spot duty for Kyren Williams.
They put the camera on McVay and he had this look on his face like there was a light bulb going off over his head.
And look at these results as the leading tandem in the league.
