One of our 3rd round picks fit the bill.

@OldSchool, got a preference on a deep threat WR in the third? I've been so far away from draft stuff this year, I can't even tell you a good pick from a bad... actually, it's making this a somewhat more enjoyable process.

Great horrible comparison. How bout we compare him to another BBall player instead. GE is the next Gates or Tony Gonzalez. Because you didn't like the pick however you chose to be negative about a comparison. We've spent all off season happy with the coach and positive about the direction the club has taken. Then they make one pick that people around here in their self appointed excellent (including myself in that I posted as many mocks as anybody else!) didn't think we should take and all of a sudden any positive thoughts are flushed down the drain and bad comparisons are made to the player. I don't get how people can turn on a dime and suddenly be so negative about something beyond their control.
One guy we visited a lot with and fits the bill is Gramblings Chad Williams. There are a couple others but he fits the bill IMO and is somebody with heavy ties to us.
Kupp, Williams Schuster-Smith, Goodwin still on the board
I think Tavon is more = to Jackson.
Crowder is more = to a JuJu or someone along those lines. We still have a chance to get Crowders match.
Clearly McVay thinks Everett is the right guy and someone he can get up to speed.
The idea that these guys don't take the pick as seriously, as thoughtfully as we do is simply ridiculous

He s what Brain Quick was suppose to become.
Everett is a natural ball catcher and athlete with an additude!
We take one of them with our first 3rd and Lewis with our second. Then BPA /LB
will be a nice draft.

Here is what I said about Everett in my last mock.
"I really like Engram and Everett, and I would be fine drafting either, but I give the slight edge to Everett. Both guys are elite athletes, but Everett is more physical as a blocker, more physical in contested situations, and more physical after the catch. Everett is an all around beast after the catch leading the TE position in broken tackles each of the last two seasons another area where Jordan Reed excels. When he played against higher level competition Everett excelled racking up 8 catches for 95 yards and the game winning TD against Mississippi State and 5 catches 103 yards and a touchdown against ranked at the time San Diego State. Is he a finished product? No, but neither was Jordan Reed who had a similar raw moldable skill set that McVay turned into a superstar. Early in his college career Reed was a wild cat QB because of his ability with the ball in his hands. Everett who has similar ability with the ball in his hands also played wild cat QB the past 2 years in addition to his TE duties. Could probably trade down a little and still get Everett, something I think is likely, but I am not projecting trades in this mock, so I'll just get my guy here."

I think this allows the Rams to run 2 TEs and Everett will eat up the middle and short routes, and Higbee will start going more vertical!
Why can't we be happy with the direction of the team and optimistic about the future but still disagree with one pick? Of course we're still rooting for that pick, but it's not too hard to see why we'd have our doubts.

Taywan Taylor or KD Cannon. Maybe Juju if he is on the board
