Would have been nice if he had any kind of production at all worthy of a 2nd round pick. Physically talented just was non existent this past year.

It really is going to be interesting to see the actual thoughts on these WRs solidified on draft day. To me it truly says, we have no idea. I personally can see, at least on tape, why they like him. He pops and that's what you wanna see on tape. Does it always translate? Nope but its pretty much a good educated when teams do it that way. Unfortunately there's just so many variables that go into becoming a successful pro which is why I think the Rams are successful. As the great AD said, they have to give a damn. Desire and motivation along with talent is what carries the successful ones. Which kids are bullshitting for the check and which ones are serious about being passionate about football? There are definitely other questions that contribute as well, but I'm sure that's these type of things not easily measured on the field are time consuming discussions and the hardest for teams to sift through.
I'm sure both points are true, just hoping for the best because I certainly see a world where we take him at 13

KC Concepcion is moving up the boards, with some mocking him in the top 10.

Top 10 would certainly be shocking
Stunning, I think. I like him a lot, but would not risk a top 10 on him. Any trade back that also nets us one of Cooper or Concepcion and I'm thrilled.
Concepcion in the top 10 is a pick that gets a GM fired.
Sorry to say, but he reminds me too much of Denario Alexander. Could briefly play big at times , but couldn't stay healthy.
I think another poster mentioned this comparison before, too.

Terrible comparison as Alexander knees were completely shot. Tyson doesn't have bone on bone like Alexander. There's a reason he's being touted as a 1st round pick and DA went undrafted.
Here's DA's college injury history..
Tyson has been injured but to compare him to DA's injury history to me is just plain dumb.

Remains one of the biggest "What could've been" players for me had he been able to stay healthy. Most casual fans today have probably never even heard of him.
I said he reminded me of DA.
I don't want to take the risk drafting a player at 13 who has had major knee surgery and more recently soft tissue issues that may or may not be a developing injury history.
And that's whether or not he's what you said was a "comparison" between the two players.
Not dumb ......... prudent.
Yes, which reminds me of another...Who was that Rams RB back in the 80's I think - total stud but bad knees prevented him from a possible huge career. Can't remember his name...anyone?

He's no where near DA's injury history so much so that DA went undrafted yet here we are talking about Tyson going in the 1st round. Once again, it makes zero sense to mention the 2 in the same breath as both are entirely different in terms of how injuries impacted them. DA by the way had to have a knee surgery prior to the draft, this after having multiple knee surgeries prior. Tyson's last knee injury was around 4 years ago. Yeah I think its dumb to mention them being similar.
DX had knee injuries going back to his senior year of high school and knee injuries every year except his last college year. He was Randy Moss talented, but his knees let him down.
Tyson's injuries are concerning, but if we took him, I'd assume they'd know the risks and be willing to select him.
