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
Damn he must have had 2k yards for Oregon last season if he was that good.
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.
This was not a sexual assault allegation, and no investigation ever happened. This is not the same as these.
I guess the same could have been said for Puka. There are many great pros who for many reasons didn't do as well statistically in college. Someone is going to take him, and it better not be SF or Philly.
Puka wasn't sold as a top 15 bill of goods. He went round 5.

Sean McVay's convincing performance throws fans off scent of rookie target
Rams depth chart is surprisingly thin at QB. But did head coach Sean McVay's dramatic performance convince other teams he is not impressed with draft options?

Still comes down to performing at a high level as a pro vs college
And if he wasnt so injury prone in college he likely would have been a day 1-2 pick

I mean, he's not the 32nd best starter in the league and he's got some things going for him and he's shown improvement since year one but I still see drives that implode with him, too many 3 and outs and inconsistent ability to take advantage of the middle of the field.
He's with the best QB coach in the NFL and been buttressed by the best oline in football two years ago and a pretty damn good one last year along with a legit X receiver.
I think at the end of the day, watch four games of his from last year: try 1st Chiefs game, Bills game, 1st raiders game and Dallas game. I've included two good and two bad to review. Come to your own conclusions.

Wow. Did you read the article? I have rarely seen such a nothing filled piece of useless words. And... NFL celebrity?Sean McVay's convincing performance throws fans off scent of rookie target

I'm not trying to shoot the messenger here, so no offense meant to you. But this was just filler material for their website. To call this Washingtonian a hack is being very nice. He even essentially says he has no contact with anyone in the Rams organization. He knows less than practically anyone here when it comes to the Rams. And several of his "articles'" titles are jabs at the Rams with nothing to back them up. Words like "snubs", "chaos", "dumps them", "foolish" in his titles hint at his feel for the Rams. I honestly suspect he is a Shecock fan. Anyway, this dude is just a bad writer with absolutely zero insight.
Some guys can handle volume in an offense. So I think that's a really nice trait to see a player show in college, and it infers that he can probably do the same in the NFL. Provided of course that his skills translate.
So with Kupp as an example I think playing at the lower level of ball hurt him. That and his forty, though if you look at him as an undersized TE move weapon, his value shows. But there was still the lower level of ball. Puka may have gone round 2 if he didn't have the injury questions, hard to say but he definitely was an injury risk type flag on team boards I'd say.
Sadiq is a lottery ticket type. But I prefer Stowers, who is nearly as athletic but also has that smoothness in the pattern McVay's offense requires to produce. I think Stowers would be an ideal Puka backup or replacement pick. He should absolutely be on the board. Nobody is crazy high on him. But if we take him, he's the seam and wheel threat this offense could really use and he's big and athletic enough to line him up out wide in redzone.
Again if they take Sadiq I'll cross my fingers, but I think he'll be another upside pick we whiff on. Just how I see it. I may end up being way wrong, but I see a large RB when I watch him. Not the weapon type this offense favors in that slot role.
Also and btw Boston can also play inside if necessary. He would be best in the X role as the forgotten rookie who sees easy matchups in 2026. But he's got the size and movement and bodying ability to own the middle. It's one of the reasons I think he upgrades us outside the hash, as he opens up the inbreaking routes where Adams is contact shy.
Sure, why not? He was a highly recruited 4 star athlete who missed significant time due to injury. Had he followed up his big 1st year with another one, I dont see why being a 2nd or 3rd rounder would have been out of the question.
1st round? Ok, I embellished a bit there....
Big 1st year? He had 168 yards. 151 his second. Are you talking about his 1st year with BYU? I could see 3rd round - maybe even sneaking into the 2nd. 1st? Yeah, that's some "embellishment" for sure.
Cheers man.
Apparently, Stowers can't block or wasnt used that way. I think Sadiq in the run game adds another domension if they use him as an H-back/move TE.
Again I think that has been overplayed.
Because TE is a position where they lump together the inline and move types, he is not in the class of the inline dudes who can solo edges. However he is just as capable in blocking as any slot wideout you might draft. Plus he's 6'4" and runs faster than Tate.
As the slot weapon he is, the dude is fine as a blocker. Willingness is there. This isn't some primadonna shithead, he's a good kid and fit I think.
