Drafting off @MikeClayNFL, a few #LARams conclusions:
1) Heavy NFC West favorites.
2) Schedule surprisingly “easy.” Easiest in the West, in fact (don’t have to play themselves).
3) Good year to catch the NFC South & AFC North.
4) Crossover East foe DAL not projected to repeat. pic.twitter.com/ogJ3KUH1Gw— J.B. Long (@JB_Long) April 5, 2019

Goff is 4th in “failed completions” (a good thing) per Football Outsiders: https://www.footballoutsiders.com/stat-analysis/2019/failed-completions-2018
Football Outsiders: “A failed completion is any completed pass that fails to gain 45 percent of needed yards on first down, 60 percent on second down, or 100 percent on third or fourth down…Racking up failed completions can give your statline some artificial inflation.”
Also note at the bottom of the article (see link) that the Rams defense actually led the league in generating ‘failed completions.’
ZN (or anyone else),
Do you have any draft preferences at the moment?
As already mentioned, I hope Dexter Lawrence is there for the Rams, but I don’t think he will be. I’d love for them to have a serious hogmolly in the middle, who also just so happens to be very athletic for his size.
Brian Burns, if Lawrence isn’t there. A high-potential edge player . . . and DK Metcalf, if he slips down. Would radically improve their Red Zone offense. A true size/speed guy with the ability to win jump balls, etc.
I’m having trouble gauging the players more likely than not to be there at #31, or in trade-down territory. But I get the sense that the Rams will go Safety if Front Seven players don’t fit the BPA model.
Thoughts?
Burns hardly ever makes it out of the top 10. Dexter Lawrence might be there if SD doesn’t take him. This is a list of names I am looking at. The comments are from PFF. It will probably change. A trade down is good too.
7. DI JERRY TILLERY, NOTRE DAME
Tillery tied Quinnen Williams for the highest pass-rushing grade among interior defenders in college football. Tillery’s sack totals don’t tell the whole story as he was a dominant week in and week out.8. DI JEFFERY SIMMONS, MISSISSIPPI STATE
He tore his ACL but did it so early in the process that he could still play as a rookie. Simmons had a run-defense and pass-rushing grade over 90.0 this past season.19. OT DALTON RISNER, KANSAS STATE
Risner started all four seasons at Kansas State and his career low grade was 87.9 overall.26. C ELGTON JENKINS, MISSISSIPPI STATE
The Mississippi State center allowed all of five pressures this past season on 369 pass-blocking snaps.28. S DARNELL SAVAGE, MARYLAND
Savage has back-to-back seasons with grades over 86.0 overall. He’s a missile around the line of scrimmage, laying some impressive hits in the flat.29. EDGE CHASE WINOVICH, MICHIGAN
Winovich is coming off back to back seasons with grades over 90 overall – the only such qualifying power-5 player in the draft class that can boast that.32. DI DEXTER LAWRENCE, CLEMSON
Nose tackles of 340-plus pounds are going the way of the Dodo in the NFL, but Lawrence is a pretty ridiculous athlete for his size. He had the 12th best pass-rushing grade among interior players in college football.34. OT GREG LITTLE, OLE MISS
Over the past two seasons, Little allowed all of 26 total pressures on 993 pass-blocking snaps. AgamemnonThis is a list of names I am looking at.
No CBs?
…
I am fine with taking a CB, but I would prefer that after a trade down. I think that the CB value is in the second round. That is a list of who I might like at #31. Here are some CBs.
