ParticipantAg, thank you for continuing to post these. I often listen to them.
Hram
ParticipantI’m just spitballing here but I am guessing the Rams won’t carry all seven of the special teams players on their final roster. Some tough cuts to come.

ParticipantWe will rally around Corbett, who will sign a long term deal during the season, and we will play good football!
It could happen
Hram
ParticipantYou live in your own world, Marcus. Just grab your crotch and hold on really really tight.
It’s this kind of awesome post that makes me wish we had a “like” feature on this forum. 🙂

ParticipantI think he has some position versatility. Which is important if you are going to play with Donald. 🙂

ParticipantThe Tutu pick is growing on me.
The Rams have not had anyone who could stretch the field since cooks and they need that for this offense. They haven’t had anyone to run the jet suite effectively since Austin and they need that in this offense.
tutu cannot run as well as Austin but he is just as fast. He’s 20 pounds lighter than cooks but it looks like he has better hands and can track the ball in the air better. Plus supposedly he will fight for balls which was something cooks seldom did.
With him you get both these players for the price of one.
Supposedly he was already up to 160 on draft day so they could probably get him up to about 170 in which case he may be big enough to play a full season after Jackson departs particularly if it is only about a third to half the snaps on offense since they have three other good wide receivers and will probably also do some two TE sets.

ParticipantI don’t believe not picking an oline prospect hurt then this year as the Rams have some decent depth. It could hurt them in two to three years since they won’t be developing a new pick. But there are so many ways to build an Oline.
When they figure out who is going to play center, if that person is decent, they will be in good shape.
After this year when several contracts expire, they’ll have to extend or acquire a few.

ParticipantI think the entire group will redshirt Although three or four may make the roster. The rest will be on the practice squad.
The Rams been trending this direction in the last couple of drafts.
One of the wide receivers will probably be converted to tight end and the other one may be converted to H-back or a large slot receiver. Either make play but it will probably be in two or three years unless one of them surprises on special teams.
Once they did not go oline by the fourth round, it kind of makes sense to not get one the rest of the draft. There should be lots of online men including lots of free agent centers who want to sign with the Rams at this point

ParticipantBig fella

ParticipantGood call Jack!
Hram
ParticipantI think it’s more likely Desean Jackson only has one season with them.
Hram
ParticipantSeems to be different opinions on his potential at different sites.
My guess is they will redshirt him this year (they do that a lot in this regime) playing some special teams while they see how he develops.
Probably get a 5th round pick for him in 4 years when they let him go in Free Agency 🙂
Hram
ParticipantI know the tautology is tautological, and all, and teams draft the guys they like, and not the players they don’t like.
But if speed was their aim, why not Anthony Scwartz? He’s faster than Tutu, and 6′.
I wouldn’t have gone wideout at all, but Scwartz has Olympic speed. Tutu is just fast, and his vert and broad are pedestrian.
Best guess, Schwartz looks like more of a straight line fellow and tutu has more wiggle.
I’m thinking of those jet sweeps.Also sounds like tutu has a chip on his shoulders, which is in his favor.

ParticipantWe will Jack, lots of goo Oline left in this draft and I don’t think the current Oline depth we have is that far off.
Hram
ParticipantI don’t like the pick but,
He weighed himself today and was up to 160 lbs.
He only had two drops last season per the ESPN team.
Mel had him in his next 5 to go (was at #4) before we picked him so he probably wasn’t a big reach.
I’m remembering all the times McVay call the play where Avery ran a sweep and Gurley went up the middle. The new QBs strength is reading defenses, and we likely run this play more often again.
We did need another speed guy IMO.
I can understand the pick, even though I don’t like it any better than I liked the Avery or Candidate picks.
Hram
ParticipantI really wish the Rams were tied to better names in round 1. So far I’m drawing a blank with all of the ones mentioned that the Rams might take.
I’m interested to see whether the opt outs drop from projections 6-8 months ago because of not playing last year.
Hram
ParticipantThat last video is pretty funny 😄
Hram
ParticipantBilly, you only get the reasons why if you know the move after, queen to queen’s level three”. 🙂
Hram
ParticipantI will take him at his word that he would do anything for the team including the move to guard.
I don’t think it happens, but it is interesting.
Hram
ParticipantIs the guard position less of an injury risk? Would it prolong Whitworths career.
I think he’s the best tackle on the team, but the youngun proved a reasonable starter. I don’t think it happens, but it is interesting.

ParticipantWell, if players are being offensive… I don’t necessarily have a problem with Donald putting them in their place. They should be less offensive, darn it.
Hram
ParticipantZooey, well played. 🙂

ParticipantGood to see the Rams once again maneuvering thing to accumulate an abundance of 6th round picks!
I missed that. 🙂
Hram
ParticipantJefferson does not strike me as soft. Even if he is as “soft” as Bruce, that wouldn’t be bad.
I think he’s better than the guy he is replacing in that way. Josh reynolds seemed to never fight for a ball. It irked me.
I don’t think he will be the best Receiver on the team next year. As a sophomore, he still has a lot to learn.
April 1, 2021 at 7:19 pm in reply to: Blythe signing w/ Vikings? (Chiefs actually). So who’s the center? #128796Hram
ParticipantDid Massey have any sons? Wouldn’t one of them be about the right age?
Hram
ParticipantI’m pounding the draft-table for Johnny Steamroll, Bulldog Pancaker, or Wolfgang Von Trapblock. Just hoping they don’t run sub-5.0 forties at their Pro Days, or the Rams may be out of luck.
Great post Billy!
Hram
ParticipantThey spent more than the Rams did to get the third choice at an unproven player.
Inconceivable
Hram
ParticipantIf we only use him for about 15 plays a game to stretch the field, he might be able to stay healthy.
It could work.
Hram
ParticipantAwesome prediction canadaram!!!!
You were all over that one!
