Our next pick just has to be an inside LB.

The Rams seem to be totally going for need, not BPA.
Which makes a lot of sense with all the holes we have to fill. :)

39. Alabama EDGE Terrell Lewis
6-foot-5, 262 pounds

Yahoo Sports draft grade:
5.98 — starter potential

TL;DR scouting report: Uniquely built edge rusher with considerable injury history but fascinating upside.

The skinny: A 5-star Rivals recruit (and top 20 nationally), Lewis — who changed his last name from Hall in 2017 — de-committed from Ohio State and pledged to Bama. He played as a true freshman and had one sack in 11 games.

Lewis played in only four games in 2017 after suffering an elbow injury in the opener against Florida State, but returned for the stretch run. His first career start was the national title game against Georgia, where he made seven tackles and notched a crucial sack in the overtime victory.


In 2018, Lewis suffered a torn ACL prior to the season and missed the entire year. He returned for the 2019 campaign and made 31 tackles (11.5 for losses), six sacks, two passes defended and one fumble recovery. Lewis was named to the coaches’ second-team all-SEC squad.

Lewis, who turns 22 in June, skipped Alabama’s bowl game and turned pro. He attended the Senior Bowl and NFL scouting combine, participating in only the vertical and broad jumps there.

Upside: Unusual dimensions — long wingspan (an absurd 83 3/8 inches), long (and strong) legs, decent bulk and nicely sculpted physique. Has room to add more bulk if needed. Jumping-drill numbers display his outstanding lower-body explosion. Long strider who can move and pivot better than some 230-pound linebackers.

Basketball-type athleticism and explosion that suit well in the NFL. Rangy with sudden-movement ability. Seems to put at least one freaky move on almost every tape. Able to bend very well for a longer rusher. Pad level typically isn’t an issue — gets low and uncoils well. Disruptive potential to close down passing windows with long arms and good instincts.

This interception against LSU wasn’t all that impressive from a playmaking standpoint, as teammate Xavier McKinney gets credit for the sack and tipped pass that went into Lewis’ hands. However, he shows some nice poise here — instead of bearing down on Burrow, Lewis knows he has man coverage behind him and could get burned by a scramble. He also appears to anticipate the Texas route LSU loved to throw to Clyde Edwards-Helaire, so credit Lewis for having his good anticipatory skills rewarded with a gift-wrapped pick:

Lewis shows some impressive instincts here, along with some quick reaction skills.

Pass-rush arsenal taking shape — executes nice long-arm move and has some sharp counters off of that. Also flashes a nice counter spin off his speed rush. Rides blockers’ momentum against them and can work back to the quarterback well. Uses a nice jab step to get tackles to overset followed by an inside counter. Gets skinny and works through cracks as interior rusher.

Fascinating versatility — rushed from the edge and as a 3-technique, manned the nose on occasion, played stack linebacker and even dropped into hook zones (see LSU game). Even walked out and covered the slot on occasion. Can work as an outside linebacker in a 3-4 defense or fit as an end in a 4-3. Should contribute readily on special teams, especially as a kick blocker.

Strong effort — motor usually revved up. Tested weekly against SEC competition plus in practice the past few years vs. Alabama’s high-end OL talent, including multiple first-round picks. Arrow pointing way up if he can stay healthy. Might be the second- or third-best pass rusher in this class behind Chase Young.
 
Players that cannot stay healthy in college rarely manage to suddenly stay healthy in the pros. Time will tell. Maybe we get lucky. He is definitely great value, talent-wise, in round 3.

An interesting wrinkle is that if covid-19 cancels, or delays, NFL camps and the regular season, he could have a unique opportunity siwith lot of time off - way more than players would normally ever get - toget healthy

McVay seemed angry when the cameras showed him. It looked like they wanted Cushenberry.
 
Another pick I hate. *sigh* He can't stay out of the tub, and I would've easily taken Malik Harrison, Troy Dye, or ADG over him because, hey, we need an inside linebacker. We have Floyd, Ebukam, Okoronkwo, Polite, and Holland at outside. We're relying on late picks at inside, and that's just...I don't know.
 
Someone show me the Rams war room, I can't find an image of it, and I'm not watching any stream or anything.
 
Big LB.
6’ 5”
Don’t know much about him but seems like a great athlete.
I think ESPN had his 62nd or so overall ranking.

No doubts this is a Brandon Staley pick.

I mean there’s absolutely no way of knowing that. Could be a million reasons.
 
Don't know much about him, comments say he's a medical risk. Both Obo and Ebu have had problems with injuries too.
 
where is the offensive lineman ??

thanks for posting ?? Thoughts ?? Bama ?? Tweener 3/4 olb
Lewis is absolutely a first round talent without the injuries, easily. He can play ILB and OLB both effectively, plays the run well but his pass rush is amazing.

As everybody else has stated he needs to get his body right. Hell I don’t mind keeping him o. The bench until half the season or redshirting him. He’s worth it. Hopefully it don’t come to that but I’d be willing to do it like OBO. It’ll be worth it.
