    from http://www.turfshowtimes.com/2017/3/30/15122154/la-rams-2016-nfl-draft-grade-mel-kiper-jared-goff

    Post-draft grade: B-

    I suspect a lot of people think I should hammer this draft class, given Jared Goff’s first-year struggles, but there’s a problem with that: We said all along that Goff would struggle early on based on the system he was coming from at Cal and the lack of help on this Rams roster, so should we be surprised? I wrote at the time, “I’m a fan of Goff … [but] they’ll need to be extremely patient and find ways to protect him.” When Goff played, the Rams had no run game to take pressure off him and didn’t pass-protect well, and his receivers were a parade of dropped passes, including some that bounced off hands and chests and right to a defender for a pick. Does this look good so far? Of course not. Is it all because of Goff? No way.

    After Goff, that’s just about it. They like Tyler Higbee’s potential, but he had just 11 catches. Same story with Pharoh Cooper, who had 14. It’s all about Goff at this point, I just hope he gets a real shot — and some help.

    New grade: C

    i don’t think it’s all about goff. if any one of higbee, cooper, hemingway, or thomas could emerge that would be huge.

    i also think guys like spruce and randolph have a chance to make a contribution.
