He reminds me of the guy Atlanta traded away their 1st round pick for. A solid pick for the Rams Cheetah Dime package as a third OLB who will give us more as a pass rusher then what we have had.

And as @methomas50 said, an absolute "chess piece".

I also think it says a lot about where we are as a defense and an organization that we are able to take chess piece type players.

Now we just need a RT who can eventually take over.

And some more CB depth.

And an ILB or two.

And a developmental X.

Can`t wait to see what we do with the rest of our picks!

Hopefully his cover skills will be better. Hoecht was a decent player but could not match up well in pass coverage.

Good point! He will be better than Hoecht at everything other than setting an edge. That said, I doubt he will be asked to do that.

This may sound crazy,but don’t be fooled about Jared Verse athletic ability. Nick Hampton Mcvay brought up.
Dejuan Johnson is a guy Mcvay forgot to bring up.& and really has gotten a lot of playing time.He is an inside guy with not much covere skills. B. Jackson he brought up.

According to Russini, 4.5 sacks came when not playing OLB.

Sounds like Jo Stew would be a great 2nd-4th and less than 5 weapon and could play off ball LB as well. Good scouting by the Rams.

man...

i'm really thinking inside linebacker...

this kids highlites are pretty impressive...

just imagine him exploding through a hole and addressing the running back with a wall of " here's a kiss for ya sweetheart,

now takethat shit back to the huddle"...

his power reminds me of verse, but his frame screams middle LB...

my 2 cents...

go rams

slo

This pick has to be an early Christmas gift for Shula. This is going to be the player he deploys all around the front 7 to create havoc and generate pressure. Have a good feeling about Stewart.

I can't wait to see how Shula uses him. He can be more than an Edge pass rusher. He has to be better at Lber than Reeder. I wondered if the Rams would pick a Mike Green Edge while having BY play some off-ball LBer. Steward fits that scenario a guy you can move around. He will get a lot of PT.

What a FREAKING JOKE ! Your dreaming. He wouldn’t even be able to cover as good as Hoecht !

The dude that has that talent though is Jared Verse.I remember when Chris Long would cover in the flat. Jared Verse wants to be a difference maker.

This guy The Rams just drafted has to keep everything in front of him.Now Nick Hampton is a guy Mcvay has liked & talked about. Not nor have been a Fan.Still think it was a wasted pick.
Mcvay always likes edge rushers.Keir Thomas is a player he compares him to,but a step up.He likes his rushing style & to mix things up.

Hampton turned himself into a solid special teams player, though. Not every fifth round pick makes it in the league, and he has.

Josiah "pitbull" Stewart. Normally I don't like making up nicknames without giving it some time but this one seems to fit.
Momento?

Watching this kid talk and care so much - he hasn’t played a down yet for the Rams but he’s already one of my favorite Rams on the roster. I love a guy who cares, works hard, is relentless, big heart, etc.

The more I read and hear about this kid the more I'm loving this pick. A we not me type. Super high motor. Love the "Pissed off pit bull" description. His win rate was higher than Abdul Carter. The only reason I can think of why he fell to the 3rd round was his size. Or lack of. I remember this guy you might have heard of that had the same knock on him. Aaron Donald.
