Could trade up does not mean they're trying to. It means she thinks they might which would depend on them liking a TE in this draft as much as they allegedly liked Bowers last year.

From Russini:

16.) Expect the Rams to once again show interest in a tight end in the first round. Last year, Los Angeles tried — and failed — to move up to select Brock Bowers. I’m told Sean McVay and Les Snead could once again try to move up to get their guy.

Me: Who on the board told her??

Jesus H Christ if we see a run on TEs...

 

[Jorgeh0605]

These TEs are not Brock Bowers. I don't see how trading up for either TE makes much sense. But we are in a bit of a pickle, as the other TEs are 2nd-3rd round options. We'd have to somehow trade into the 2nd round or over draft a TE if we really want one.

For the hype around Taylor i just don't see it in his game tape.

One thing he ain’t is a TD machine with a total of 6 in his 3 years at LSU. He becomes interesting around pick 45 in my book.

And yet he’s playing with a QB who’s supposedly in a better WB class than this year. Lol

He played on teams with WR Malik Nabors, Brian Thomas, Kayshon Boutte, and the late Kyren Lacy. He wasn't going to get a bunch of TDs when not being featured on offense.

You realize Nacua only had 3 TDs last year and only 9 in his 2 yr NFL career. Should we cut him?

Yeah, this just sounds like her connecting the dots and trying to pass it off as news. I’m not a Russini fan. There are more credible reporters with real inside connections.

 

[RamsOfCastamere]

TEs are such a boring but necessary position. If we get one, I don't want an undersized 6'4 Gerald Everett. Over 6'5 please.

 

[rdlkgliders]

I have seen mocks with only 1 TE going in the first. After the first 5 picks everyone will be watching with little idea who will go where.

I said one thing he ain’t. Which is factual. I didn’t say he had no value.
I also stated my interest in him starts around pick 45. Which is just my opinion and aligns with general consensus Draft boards. Feel free to disagree but It would be more pertinent if it aligned with TE prospects in this years draft.

Actually a number of late mocks have him late rd 1 now. I saw one mock show that said the league loves Taylor.... I assume more than the draftniks. Plus, in this draft there is no real value diff between 25 and 50. Just a matter of which player/position you prefer.

 

[OldSchool]

Interesting tidbit but it doesn't change anything.

Puka was drafted in the 5th round not the 1st. @dang isnt saying they shouldnt draft Taylor, just saying not in the first.

My point is that TDs are not the end all be all. In the NFL Puka has had an incredible start to his career without being a TD machine.

It was not a comment on why they drafted him.

3 words “More Explosive Offense”. It’s my theme for this years draft for the Rams.

Puka missed 7 games if you include the Detroit game when he left early last year . 6 his rookie year is what Taylor had for his whole career at LSU.
