Rams meeting with Jalen Milroe

[Memphis Ram]

Ryan Williams (WR), freshman All-American, Kadyn Proctor, (LT,) probably top 5-10 selection next year. It's not that they didn't have special players or 4 and 5 star talent last year, Milroe just doesn't elevate their them.

Ryan Williams was great for a freshman, but he dropped quite a few passes, too.

 

[dieterbrock]

While I do agree with this in part, to be fair, Ryan Williams was one of the best freshman WR's in Bama history last season. He's on track to be a top 10 pick when eligible

He's 17 years old and learning. Incredible talent but raw. On offense, Milroe was it

If selected it would be utter madness to have him sitting on the bench for the year, IMO.

Giving him a few packages to run throughout the year could do wonders for the offense while also giving opposing defenses something extra for which to prepare.

This. He'd technically be the no.3 QB, but create some red zone/RPO packages for him to get him up to speed. Iirc that's how Lamar was used his rookie year before Flacco went down. The blueprint is already there thanks to the Ravens.

As a sidenote McVay remembers anytime he gets absolutely decimated like he was by the Ravens offense in 2019. After Vic Fangio and the Bears destroyed the version of his offense that was unstoppable to that point in 2018 he went on to emulate that defense with Brandon Staley, a Fangio disciple.

Obviously he hasn't had the personnel to copy the Ravens to this point but you could see the fascination with mobile QBs in the years afterwards when he insisted on trying to develop Bryce Perkins and John Wolford despite both of them having extremely limited arm talent. Milroe could be the guy he's been looking for...

McVay kept him around, but Perkins was an O'Connell find from what I remember reading. Not sure he would have been on the team without him.

Ugh, Perkins threw like I throw in bad dreams. Like my arm weighs 200 lbs....

Yes and no. For the Rams to have a package for Milroe, it would mean 3 QB would have to be active on gameday. Lamar was the backup QB & Baltimore had the luxury of RGIII being on a league minimum deal thus leaving him inactive was no big deal.
So if the Rams were to have all 3 QB active, they would surely have plays for Milroe to justify that spot. The beauty of it would be that if Milroe got banged around a bit, it wouldnt jeopardize the backup QB spot
So yeah the blueprint for using the QB is there, but its a bit more complicated with the 3rd qb

 

[dang]

Snead said we are in purgatory at pick 26.

I expect a trade down and then with that extra pick Milroe could possibly come into the conversation.

Need a fair trade partner. Like CLE at R2.33/R3.94.

 

[Elmgrovegnome]

Need a fair trade partner.

Nate Tice was talking about the Browns trying to reunite Shaddeur with Hunter, by trading back into round 1. He thinks the Vikings would be the prime candidate to make that trade.

With the exception of Pittsburgh at #21, picks 19-24 look prime for trading back
Furthermore, (excluding Pittsburgh again) all the teams from 19-32 are set at QB

I think he singled out the Vikings because they don’t have a second round pick, just like the Rams.

Hmmm. Schrags is damn dialed in to the Rams.

Like when he reported they were trying to trade up for a tackle last year? I think he’s more BS, and less ‘in the know’, just like the rest of them. They take tidbits of info and try to put together the pieces, then pass it off as factual. If I was an NFL GM I’d feed these guys nothing but straight BS about my team and every other team.

And Pittsburgh.
But I think if a team is trading back in to the 1st, they need to be in front of #26 which is why Minnesota makes sense
