23.7 which was significantly up from the injury riddled ‘22 season (18.1)

Me either. To be fair and transparent, I didn’t watch him in college and there’s limited work to evaluate in his rookie season. He appears to have a little more burst and change of direction ability than KW. I’d give the edge to KW in all other abilities.
Corum- IIRC on the play he broke the forearm, catch in the flat and hit twice at sideline…it didn’t look incredibly violent(in relative football terms). Obviously it was enough to knock him out of the game and onto IR.
Could be a fluky injury and probably was, but I can’t help but feel like he finally gets his opportunity to start and shine, but gets knocked out instead. Was Corum an iron man at Michigan?
Kyren has struggled to stay healthy here. He’s missed alot of games.
IMO both Corum and Williams are ideal relief backs behind a 3 down elite feature back. That’s where they belong on an ideal McVay offense.
Was it really Kyren Williams in the 5th rd who rejuvenated the dead Rams run game? Or was it McVay’s strategic shift towards more physicality offensively? Maybe both. Idk.

I won't be too surprised in this deep RB draft, knowing how Cold
McVay can be (Not necessarily in a bad way) if they go early with a bell-cow back and Kyren posts "Yikes" on twitter.

The back most like Kyren in this draft might be Neal. If the Rams want to draft a change of pace type I like the UCF kid, Harvey or the Auburn kid, Hunter. They have a guy similar to Kyren in Corum and Rivers.

Both imo, better guards with Kyren’s vision.

oh wow, I would have thought it was a bit higher with some of those 30pt games we had.

Not sure there's a great deal to take from this as I'm not sure the time horizon allows us to look past teams trying to fill a hole at RB and teams that have and no longer feel they need to put resources there.

Before I actually looked at it, there was some stuff in it that I found interesting. I didn't think the Rams would be that high. I was also surprised that with McCaffrey's big contract that they are still behind us. Then I realized I had ignored the fact that it was only draft capital. Yeah. Much less interesting.

That's my favorite RB of this class that is possibly in our range.

In our range where? 26? I'm a big fan too but 26 is far to rich for us to be taking a RB IMO.

I know a team shouldn't be beholden to sunk costs and draft capital already spent (and Rams are as good as anyone in not falling into that trap) but I have a bit of a hard time grasping the Rams going after a RB on the 1st two days of the draft when they spent a 3rd round pick at RB last year.
I feel like us picking a RB is a bit of wish fulfillment here... though one can't rule it out completely.

Could be a trade back option as well, but 26 is not too rich if the Rams view him as a legit ass back. I think he's that but I'd personally trade Kyren if we drafted him at 26 to recoup a pick or picks at worst. Wouldn't be mad at that move but I do also understand we have other needs so I won't necessarily be heart broken if the Rams were to pass him up for say a CB or miss him because they took a nice trade back package of picks and someone else scooped him up.

Sure this doesn’t belong in the Booty forum?
Sorry I’m a juvenile - but seriously I’d be happy with Hampton at R1.26 or Judkins/Henderson/Kaleb Johnson in a trade back scenario in early R2.

Its ok, I enjoy the juvenile comments a little too much hahaha. I can roll with all those scenarios. Just so many ways the Rams can honestly go that its just fun to shoot the shit on what they could do.
