Who do you take at 26?

[Neil039]

I think there's a better chance that Whitworth comes out of retirement to play for the Rams than of Noteboom coming back

 

[El Chapo Jr]

But as of today, I'd take someone who isn't listed.

Jayden Higgins, WR, Iowa State

I'd trade back first, #26 too high for me.

I'd trade back first, #26 too high for me.

As a point of reference Higgins is ranked 52nd overall on Consensus Draft Big Board.

After the first 12-15 players, the next 30 to 40 players are going to be probably rated close to the same and could come off the board in any order.

So called consensus had Cooper DeJean, Kool-Aid McKinstry, and Jer'Zhan Newton in the 1st round last year.

True but I also think he can be had much later. I'd trade back if he were the option. I can't imagine any scenario where he goes in the 1st round. I really think he's more likely to go somewhere in the mid 2nd at best.

So according to your logic, Higgins will go even later? Lmao.... just teasing by the way.

I can. He's a very good WR with good speed at slightly over 6'4" 214 lbs. with 33 1/8" arms, a 39" vertical jump and who had one of the top 5 times at the position in the gauntlet drill at the combine. My guess is his former OC and Rams current coach Nate Scheelhaase is probably talking him up.

Plus teams can't just trade back whenever they want. Not without getting ripped off via value I guess.

Just keep watching these media draft boards as we get closer to the draft. Whether it's Higgins or whomever, things can change in a month once fan sites get more information from NFL media who gets if from the NFL teams.

Well we'll simply agree to disagree. Higgins isn't going in the 1st round, jmo

The 2024 consensus board looks to be pretty accurate within a plus/minus of 12 or so. I love Higgins but 52 and 26 is a big gap.

Are you looking at a 2024 consensus board one month out from the draft?

 

[DzRams]

Are you looking at a 2024 consensus board one month out from the draft?

Yes. Those three players' final rankings were only one or two spots off from what they were a month before the draft.

Where are you getting this consensus information? I'd like to see that for this and other drafts. Got a link?

Click on any of the players' names and you can see how they moved over the months. There will be some movement in the next 30 days but most of it has happened.

Oh that site. I thought you had something that focused more on NFL draft media that get information for the NFL teams.

They mix in quite a few mocks/lists from any fan website they can find. I saw one mock draft giving the Rams OG Tyler Booker at #26.

And yet, last year and in year's past it's been decently accurate.

Well we will see on Higgins this year. Either way that's my choice if OT Simmons has been cleared medically and off the board.

But, IF he's a target for the Rams, I hope they don't commit another Bobby Wagner trade down mistake. That's if they can.

Higgins is going to be so good. I wouldn't mind him as a first-round pick. Jaylin Noel, his wideout teammate, is going to be good as well.

I agree with this but it will be fascinating to see what happens at WR this year. Many peeps saying WR not deep this year in the draft, I think once the 2nd level guys start going there may be a run on them. May start with a guy like Higgins. Could see big run in round 2 and slim pickings once you get to end of 3rd round for us.

As an aside, probably another reason why Rams overpaid for Tutu this year.

As mentioned, I like Higgins a lot but I hope they would trade down and take him in the early 2nd. If we're staying put and taking a WR at 26, I'd like Egbuka.

Simmons is a fav of mine too.
