Which WR excites you the most for the Rams?

[Merlin]

Keep going…

There are plenty of great prospects who follow

I still think we pull another Cooper/Puka and take a player later who outplays most of those taken before because we seem to have an eye for WR, because of McVay and because of Stafford

Quite possible. And that is what we have always done under McVay. But this is the first time we've been in a spot where we have access to options who have a bit more upside potential.

So this is why I am hoping for more this year. I'd like an impact player of the type they usually can't find in rounds 2/3. Meaning not a slot.

 

[Mojo Ram]

Eh, this isn’t 2022/2023.
Trading down multiple times to gain more picks to restock the groceries in a weaker draft…not a fan of that strategy this year.

If anything, move up a couple times and grab two or three better players that the staff feels can contribute immediately.

Staying put could work too.

The resident draft pick hoarding club members won’t agree with me. “More picks is always better!”

I present to you, Thee Puka Nacua

Unbelievable! I'd forgotten his college stats were that bad.

Clearly not impressive... worth only a 5th round flier at best

 

[Gandalf]

I still like Omar Cooper, Jr., better then Sadiq because IMO, Cooper will have more of an impact in year one and is like stronger Robert Woods, who can break more tackles.

Perfect plan, trade down with the Panther at 19, pick up a 3rd and 4th and then draft Cooper.

That's a good trade, another decent one the Rams trade #13 and #61
Carolina trades #19, #51 and #83

If you can swing it.
You would be a daisy if you did.

If they go receiver Lemon would be my first choice. Seems like he'd be a smaller version of Puka with enough speed to make big plays. Some people were turned off by that interview. Felt is was a red flag. Others see it as his competitive nature. He's intense and wants to win. I believe its the latter. He's not lacking in confidence thats for sure.

I think this guy is uber talented BECAUSE of his competitive nature. I agree, that came across. He doesn’t seem like the type of individual who is easily intimidated.

He just sounded fucking dumb. I’m sorry, but he really turned me off in that regard. The Rams, hell, the pros in general, run some sophisticated stuff. Can he get it? That’s what it comes down to me. Only those who have interviewed him behind closed doors can elaborate on this.

I don’t doubt his talent. I doubt his ability to play in a complex offense. If the Rams draft him I will consider myself on the wrong path and welcome him.

 

[fanotodd]

I honestly think that the media is overvaluing WRs this year. Theres no clear No1 wr even tho I like some prospects. I like them starting in the early 20s to late teens. I wouldn't reach if I were the rams

Had the Rams not traded away the #29 pick NOT THAT IM COMPLAINING I could easily see a very good WR still available there.
Now that the Rams are drafting at #13 and not again until #61(barring any trades), one would have to consider that if a player is “your guy”, you just grab him. If it’s a WR, so be it.

Words like “reach” and “value” have their meaning determined by the level of success achieved by that player. No matter who the Rams pick at #13, he has to be good. Really good.

 

[CGI_Ram]

If the Rams like Cooper they could get burned on a trade down. He’s definitely top 3-4 in this class by most everyone.

One could argue that by the time you hit the 13th pick in this draft the talent evens out till maybe 40 so pick who you like or trade down!

I guess it depends on if you just have "one guy." If you have multiple guys, you gotta trade down, if you can.

I'd say the word "value" definitely has meaning; Snead puts a lot of work to determine what range players will go off the board. Last year, they liked Ferg - he was one of their guys - but he's not someone you take at 26. You trade down, get a future 1st, and take him at 46.

 

[El Chapo Jr]

Is anyone going to be pissed if we take Cooper Jr at 13 if say Lemon and Tyson are there?

I wouldn’t….

I'd still want Tyson but I'd understand.

Perhaps the draftnik media is overvaluing WRs this year (I disagree) because the limited value at the other positions in this draft class.

Especially, the premium positions.

Let's see:

One QB who probably would have been the 4th one selected a couple years back in Mendoza. The next highest rated QB only started for one season.

One raw LT in Freeling. The other highly rated OTs are better suited for RT, Guard, or Center.

The highest rated pass rushers?? One has limited snaps at EDGE (Reese). One has extremely short arms (Bain Jr.). One has potential character concerns and needs work vs. the run (Bailey).

One of the top rated CBs hasn't even played in a year (McCoy).

Selecting a WR at #13 might be a reach on your imaginary draft board, but not on mine. In this draft class, I can't come up with 19+ other players that should be selected ahead of some of these WRs.

They're all imaginary at this point, and they're often wrong. Currently, The best WR in football was taken in the 5th round.

Yeah this class has good depth at some positions, but up top the quality isn't all that great. We kind of got fucked at 13. Feels like a big bucket in our range.

Agree with this. Unfortunately, there are no OBJ's or Aaron Donald's at 13, which I believe is where those two were picked around.

 

[snackdaddy]

Those guys are a little past their prime, no?

 

[Merlin]

Agree with this. Unfortunately, there are no OBJ's or Aaron Donald's at 13, which I believe is where those two were picked around.

Funny you mention OBJ because that's who Tyson directly reminds me of in the quickness of his movement and body control. But yeah, he's just not dependable in terms of being healthy. It's too bad.

And then you have Boston who is too stupid to run and at least attempt to take advantage of all this.

There really is no telling what we're going to do at 13 though. Which should make the first round a lot of fun by the way.

 

[DzRams]

And then you have Boston who is too stupid to run and at least attempt to take advantage of all this.

It probably means he would run a 4.71. Doubt he or his agent are stupid.
