#13 to me should see a lot of snaps as a rookie, as an expectation.

It’s a long season, so not playing a ton week 1-6 is a ripple we’ll forget about by the Superbowl.

I think McVay can get Tate, Lemon, Cooper going in the offense quicker than maybe a guy like Sadiq.
well, if they draft a wr at 13 he’s better pick up blocking assignments right quick or else he won’t see much pt.
McVay expects a lot out of his offense skill positions which is why many don’t play early

You may be right, but I have seen every game Sadiq played, and he will develop into something special. If allowed to do so under a coach like McVay, we're talking All-Pro level type of player before the end of his first contract. But he's not a WR? And #13 is too early to take another tight end? Snead doesn't necessarily think that way. His addition would allow McVay to run 12 and 13 personnel like no one in today's NFL has seen. With Puka and Adams, and Parkinson or Ferguson as well, you don't think McVay will be able to get one-on-ones with LBs on Sadiq? Who has run a 4.39? And can block? He could be an H back as well. Can even hand it off to him at times. Forget about the position for one minute and look at the PLAYER.
Damn he must have had 2k yards for Oregon last season if he was that good.

Well like I said, any rookie drafted at 13 could see an uptick in PT if there is an injury or otherwise. Im just not of the belief that McVay is going in to the draft looking at that 13th pick thinking that they need the player to be a big contributor

Totally agree with these, and your other comments.

And I'll also say the Rams won't be drafting for "need" in the 1st or 2nd rounds. Sure, if they have to choose between 2 players that they have rated the same, sure - take the player at the position of need.

I also think that teams who draft a QB and expect him to start and be productive immediately is just insane.
Fans might expect this (and coaches who are on the hot seat might hope for it), but it's asking a lot of a 22 year old.
