Rams have a lot of o linemen. Lot of them didn’t show anything last year, got worse and/or are coming off injuries.
 
Best route runner in the class IMO. He’s a better Mohammed Sanu. Perfect fit for this offense. I can see us running a lot more 4 wide. Let’s get an edge and a center and call it a day.
What about an inside linebacker?

He'll produce less than Kupp does, and to me, this is Kupp's replacement. And Mims was right on the board. We passed on him twice. And Mims would've filled Cooks' role.
Can’t replace ELITE route running. Guy is precise as you get. You’ll like him, promise!

Maybe. Or maybe McVay sees Kupp and Jefferson as complements. Mims is raw and had some drop issues. His ceiling is sky high, but I trust McVay on WRs.

Who says they were trying to fill Cook's role? I think it shows that McVay / Snead value receivers who are technicians, smart, savvy, good hands with decent speed.

Mims Fan!
 
He’s projected to be a slot receiver.
Projected by who? McVay has shown his offense can score 30 points a game in NFL. I don't think McVay will feel limited to playing Jefferson in the slot.
 
He'll have to prove an absolute fuckton of a lot for me to like this pick. To me, this pick says, "We're not re-signing Cooper Kupp, and you'll like it."

What @jrry32 said. Mims has some issues, Van is pretty solid, I thought he’d go lower but I’d rather get our guys ahead of time and be able to go BPA later kinda like spades and suit of need.

Guy has elite route running, 4.46 speed, can catch in traffic. Guy is solid asf. Cooks was shaky when it came to making contested catches.

He won’t be able to prove anything until the season so you’ll just have to be mad until then! Lol

I think it shows that the Rams aren't planning on re-signing Kupp. That's mainly the reason I'm pissed.
