May 1, 2021 at 7:52 pm in reply to: how do you “grade” this draft? or just…what do you make of this draft #129493
HramParticipantI 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
HramParticipantBig fella
HramParticipantGood call Jack!
HramParticipantI think it’s more likely Desean Jackson only has one season with them.
HramParticipantSeems 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 🙂
HramParticipantI 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.

HramParticipantWe 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.
HramParticipantI 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.
HramParticipantI 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.
HramParticipantThat last video is pretty funny 😄
HramParticipantBilly, you only get the reasons why if you know the move after, queen to queen’s level three”. 🙂
HramParticipantI 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.
HramParticipantIs 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.

HramParticipantWell, 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.
HramParticipantZooey, well played. 🙂

HramParticipantGood to see the Rams once again maneuvering thing to accumulate an abundance of 6th round picks!
I missed that. 🙂
HramParticipantJefferson 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? #128796
HramParticipantDid Massey have any sons? Wouldn’t one of them be about the right age?
HramParticipantI’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!
HramParticipantThey spent more than the Rams did to get the third choice at an unproven player.
Inconceivable
HramParticipantIf we only use him for about 15 plays a game to stretch the field, he might be able to stay healthy.
It could work.
HramParticipantAwesome prediction canadaram!!!!
You were all over that one!
HramParticipantAt least we didn’t have to give them a pick to clear the cap space.
Core locker room guy. He’s been with the team a good long while.
Good player, but not exceptional. I think his snaps are replaceable without losing much.
HramParticipant“I can’t let him down.”
That’s telling.
HramParticipantEven after we lose a couple folks, defense has enough players to be top 10 IMO. Could be better with Donald and Ramsey, but, barring injury, should be top 10.
It all depends on the Oline IMO. If Oline is average or better, Stafford will adapt pretty darn quick and we should be legit challengers. If Oline is worse than average, might be another fight for a wild card.
HramParticipantCould be.
They do need the salary cap relief. If they could get a day two pick, even better.
HramParticipantI’m not ready to commit until I see what they can retain and/or add.
I’m guessing we’ll see a top 7-10 QB with top 5 stats due to the offense he is in.
If the defense is still top 5 and they don’t suffer a rash of injuries, 12-4.
HramParticipantI think there is zero chance the Chargers would’ve given up Herbert for what we gave Detroit. I’m not sure the Chargers would do that trade for four first round draft picks.
If we get five good years out of what many considered to be a top 10-ish quarterback, then it is worth that draft capital. It will be interesting to see the length of the extension they gift stafford.
HramParticipantIt’s a dilemma.
The younguns should get incrementally better with another year. Sounds like whit is coming back for another year which helps. Akers should be better in his second year which also helps.
It’s strange to me that in several of these videos reference the QBs, folks talk about how the Rams Oline is better and I get the impression the consensus is, at worst, middle of the pack in the NFL. I thought we gave up way too much pressure up the middle and they did not play THAT well, but maybe I’m wrong. Maybe all they need is a little incremental improvement to be…good.

HramParticipantThey may keep trading them away!
