Rams don’t care that much about 40 times
How much of the rest of the NFL is also past caring about 40 times?
By Kenneth Arthur@KennethArthuRS Apr 12, 2021, 11:12am CDT 12 CommentsIn talking with The Athletic’s Jourdan Rodrigue recently, Los Angeles Rams general manager Les Snead provided some information on how the organization has been approaching the draft recently given the unusual circumstances since 2020. On Monday, Rodrigue posted an article in which other members of the Rams front office also chimed in about how LA is approaching the draft in its own unique way. That included Rams’ director of draft management J.W. Jordan, who says that the most popular measurement among fans and media — the 40-yard dash — does not “truly matter.”
“Does it matter whether (a receiver) runs a 4.48 or a 4.56? No,” said J.W. Jordan, the Rams’ director of draft management. “That’s where you use tape, GPS, all the information and data you have on him. Does (the 40) really and truly matter? No.”
In mentioning 2020 draftees like Jordan Fuller, who may have fallen to the sixth round in part because of a 40-yard dash that was north of a 4.6, Snead and Jordan and company prefer the use of GPS technology used during live game action.
Ever since colleges began providing teams with GPS data for players, the Rams have been among the NFL teams to use and apply the data to what they see on film. By doing this, they are not watching how fast a player runs in a straight line — they are projecting how fast he gets into position on a field, in a variety of live-action scenarios. They can see how his play speed matches up against his opponents and how well he can move at the opening of a play, versus when it breaks down and he has to freestyle.
“If you’re looking for a Cooper Kupp, a guy who can do the stuff over the middle, can be a great route runner and get separation with quickness,” Jordan said, “if that’s what you need in a given year, you wouldn’t weight that 40 time as heavily and you might have guys like that (on your board) ahead of guys with faster times.”
It’s also a concept that Brad Holmes, a longtime member of the Rams’ front office who is now the general manager of the Detroit Lions, is expected to bring with him to his new job. Over at Pride of Detroit last month, Alabama receiver Jaylen Waddle’s speed on GPS — which was called the fastest in the country by NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah — was highlighted as a reason he could go to the Lions later this month.
Other teams may need to follow suit as 40-yard dash times at pro days this year have been hard to believe. At least four players have clocked a sub-4.3, while some larger players have recorded record times at their weight and would similarly be “too fast to be believed without verification.”
ESPN’s Jeff Legwold said as much last week, nothing that teams are wary of times this year.
There’s no question these guys are fast. And you can get deep in the weeds with metrics, running surfaces, reaction times, shoes worn, splits and the fact that elite 100-meter sprinters are still building speed at the halfway point of the race. But even Olympic sprinter Usain Bolt was estimated to run a 4.20 over the first 40 yards in the 9.58 electronically timed 100-meter record he set in 2009.
Given that prospects have almost always run faster in pro days than at the combine through the years, they might not actually move the needle much when the picks get made.
That verification can come from watching film, something that most fans and media and some draft analysts do not do. The Rams seem to be content with sticking with the film and only using measurements as guideposts for where they might want to look again.

So some posters wanted this board and I thought I would give it a shot. Basically what happens with an NFL stacked draft board, scouts,coaches and the FO get together and go through players and 1st stack them by position (which I did) then overall regardless of position (which I also did) then they shave off names that don’t fit. Then they stack according to need and depth of class and obviously talent and lastly, scheme and lockerroom fit. I think most teams are now doing a horizontal board, but it just doesn’t work on a message board format, so this will have to do.3 years ago I got 6 of the 11
2 years ago I got 5 of 8
last year I got 6 of 9. Lewis, Akers, Jefferson, Burgess and Fuller. I missed on Johnston, Sloman and Anchrum.I didn’t include RBs because with so many holes and so few picks, and nice depth going 3 deep, I think RB is an UDFA priority. I did add TEs, although I am skeptical. I added some gap/man OL because I think they are wanting to run more power concepts, esp. with their new OL coach. This list is heavy with OCs, OTs, Edge, CB,WR, ILBer and S. Rams love drafting safeties later in the draft, and some of the early ones might be BPA. The majority of the WRs have return abilities and/or are deep threats. No possession types. 115 names from my big board and and additional 10 not on my big board. So 125.
1. Greg Newsome II – CB – Northwestern – 6′-1″ 190 lbs. – Smooth for his size, will compete on every play and is physical. 1 int his entire career. Underrated. Injury red flags. Outside CB
2. Liam Eichenburg – OT – Notre Dame – 6′-5″ 305 lbs. – Good size (could use some weight) and lots of power. He is an OK athlete and can climb to the 2nd level and get after LBers but he lacks quickness that allows speed rushers to give him an issue now and again. LT prospect.
3. Jalen Mayfield – OT – Michigan – 6′-5″ 320 lbs. – a somewhat raw RT, Crazy power with really good balance and good mobility. Needs some refinement in technique, but thats to be expected. RT/LT/OG prospect.
4. Azeez Ojulari – Edge – Georgia – 6′-3″ 240 lbs. – Great athlete with a big time motor, can rush and defend the run. Could stand to use some more good weight. 34 WOLB
5. Jayson Oweh – Edge – Penn State – 6′-5″ 260 lbs. – 20 college starts, so raw, but eye popping athleticism. He is flexible. Real nice get off at the snap. Real nice motor. Needs work as a run defender. 34 OLB
6. Eric Stokes – CB – Georgia – 6′-1″ 185 lbs. – Speed to burn, good ball production, a willing tackler. Ok athlete in spite of his speed. Outside CB
7. Jamin Davis – LB – Kentucky – 6′-4″ 225 lbs. – Sideline to sideline guy with freakish athleticism, good power and very good in coverage. Run defense is best from a backside pursuit position. Lacks a ton of experience. 43 WLB/34 ILB
8. Dillon Radunz – OT – NDSU – 6′-5″ 305 lbs. – Smooth mover with enough power to handle bull rushes. Could use some weight/strength for the NFL. Showed at the Senior Bowl he can play OG or OT.
9. Creed Humphrey – OC – Oklahoma – 6′-4″ 315 lbs. – OL leader and makes all the line calls, A better athlete than he gets credit for IMO. Good power/strength and is a gamer. OC in power or zone.
10. Joe Tryon – Edge – Washington – 6′-4″ 250 lbs. – 2020 opt out. Explosive, strong and flexible. Can set an edge. Plays with a great motor. Only 1 year of great production. 34 OLB
11. Joseph Ossai – Edge – Texas – 6′-3″ 245 lbs. – Nice quickness, really athletic with a good pass rush game. High rev motor. Needs to get stronger to handle run defense. 34 OLB
12. Sam Cosmi – OT – Texas – 6′-7″ 300 lbs. – A good athlete and a smooth mover laterally, combine that with his great length and there is a lot to like about his potential. Needs to add some weight and strength to that 6′-7″ frame to handle power. LT/RT prospect.
13. Asante Samuel Jr – 5′-10″ – FSU – 5′-10″ 185 lbs. – Twitchy athlete with a real natural feel for the position. Willing tackler, but size is a hinderance. Decent ball production. in/out CB
14. Jabril Cox – LB – LSU – 6′-3″ 232 lbs. – Top notch pass defender, at his best in a run and chase position, Very good athlete that has all sorts of range. Can blitz off the edge. Played outside in NDSUs 43, inside in LSUs 34. 34 ILB/43 WLB
15. Jamar Johnson – S – Indiana – 6′-1″ 197 lbs. – A physical safety with good range and good ball skills, he is effective equally against the run and the pass.
16. Aaron Robinson – CB – UCF – 5′-11″ 190 lbs. – Smooth lower half, ultra competitive and a willing tackler. Average athlete. Slot CB that could develop outside.
17. Quinn Meinerz – IL – Wisconsin Whitewater – 6′-3″ 320 lbs. – OG that learned OC during the pandemic, he is a decent mover, but can get a bit lungy in space. Crazy power and looks to hit anything until the whistle. Best fit as a OC in any blocking scheme.
18. Elijah Molden – CB – Washington – 5′-10″ 190 lbs. – Not a big or super athletic slot CB, but has very good ball skills, is a willing tackler and plays smart. He competes. Slot CB only

22. Nico Collins – WR – Michigan – 6′-4″ 215 lbs. – #2 WR. Nice Size/speed combo that can win 50/50, over the top or deep. Good hands. Lack of production and opted out. #2 WR

40. Jaylen Twyman – DT – Pitt – 6′-2″ 290 lbs. – 2020 opt out. 1st Pitt DT to lead his team in sacks since, I forget his name, Albert Darnold? Something like that. And there are similarities between AD and JT. Super explosive, plays low to the ground and lives in the backfield. Needs to add strength. And maybe come from Krypton. 3 tech, maybe 5 tech

118. Nick Niemann – LB – Iowa – 6′-4″ 220 lbs. – smart with good instincts. good athleticism to work inside in a 34. Rangy, but needs to add some good weight. ILB 34
119. Amen Ogbongbemiga – LB – Oklahoma State – 6′-1″ 235 lbs. – Run defense is ahead of his pass defense. Has enough range to drop into zone coverage in a 34. ILB 34
120. Trevon Grimes – WR- Florida – 6′-4″ 215 lbs. – Decent route runner with strong hands. Possession with redzone size and a chance to be a deep threat. I don’t think he plays to his 40.
121. Jim Morrissey – IOL – Pitt – 6′-3″ 300 lbs. – OK mover with average strength and a good anchor, intelligent. Absolutely a technician, not a brawler. OC OZS
122. Adrian Ealy – OT – Oklahoma – 6′-6″ 325 lbs. – Excellent mover in space, not as powerful as he should be. A perfect late round development type. OT OZS
123. Ben Mason – FB – Michigan – 6′-3″ 255 lbs. – An absolute hammer as a FB, moves well for his size. Soft hands when catching a pass. ST upside. A real throwback warrior. Stiif and not a great athlete.
124. Michal Menet – OC – Penn State – 6′-3″ 305 lbs. – Nice anchor, decent strength and good lateral agility. Needs mechanical work. Like his work ethic. OC OZS
125. K.J. Britt – LB – Auburn – 6′-0″ 235 lbs. – Tough, physical and instinctive against the run. Stiff and not very fluid against the pass. 2 down ILB 34/43
