Based just on that video he looks like he follows his assignment really well and has ball hawking instincts. Looks a little slow for the NFL but might have just been the small sampling.

The Rams broke their string of skill position players by selecting LB Josh Forrest. Whadya think?

After focusing solely on the offensive side of the ball with their first four selections of the2016 NFL Draft, the Los Angeles Rams selected ILB Josh Forrest out of Kentucky.

Grade: B

Forrest has some athleticism according to his NFL.com draft profile. That suits Rams Defensive Coordinator Gregg Williams just fine. But I get the feeling that Rams Special Teams Coordinator John Fassel will be working with Forrest more than Williams. That's not to say that he's not a good developmental prospect at ILB behind Alec Ogletree. But let's be real here... if he makes the 53-man roster, it will be as a special teams contributor.

This pick screams Daren Bates replacement to me. Someone who can provide depth in a pinch, but will be relied upon to become one of Jeff Fisher's coveted 'core' special teams players - hopefully sans the personal fouls.

Definetely Bates replacement...He's got some skills with his hands due to coming from the wr side.....I like this pick...

Makes me wonder about that dude Lynch....I had some high hopes for him...

Need to put this cat and Goff together in the weight room....at least eat the same things....

Oh, and he definitely looks faster than a 4.78
