obviously kromer will have heavy input in the running game. but i also wonder if lafleur will have something to add. he’s been around shanny’s zone blocking system.
i know it didn’t work last year, but i gotta wonder if lafleur might have some insight the last coaching staff did not.
in any case, both the bills and falcons running games were simply awesome. i like that mcvay mined some talent from those two staffs. not ignoring the running game.

If Tru is traded, I will be adding a CB early.
2) Engram … the only gripe I’m hearing is that there are thoughts that he may not be there. Until I get more mocks showing me he won’t Im going to leave him here. Gerald Everett would be my backup and he’d be a 1b to Engram’s 1a.
3) WR … Juju/Kupp/Godwin/Z Jones/Chad Hansen … one will be there. One will slide. There’s too much talent elsewhere and those guys are not top ALL 50 talents. Not in this draft anyway. I have been leaning away from WR this early, but my feel is that the brass will not be. I have Josh Reynolds, Taywan Taylor, Darboh, and Ardarius Stewart a half shade below these guys and personally I’d prefer to get value later … but these kids all have something special about them and that half shade may matter.
4) C Pocic or Elflein … I prefer Elflein but he may be gone.
4) CB Brendan Langley … I like him for development and taking over for Tru … he’s got skills just needs high speed reps.
5) OLB Vince Beigel … Im going to consistently draft him in this area … he reminds me of Barwin.
6) ILB Jayon Brown / Reeves Maybin smaller ILBs with great range.
6) Josh Tupuo … NT … a quick kid for being a big man. True Nose tackles are worth investing in.
7) RB Justin Davis USC … 6-1 208 and ran a 4.48 … was not expecting that. I need a big backup to Gurley. I’d prefer Brian Hill but I have him gone in the 4th or 5th.
if the draft unfolds that way, i’m not sure there’s much i could complain about.
maybe the only thing is that the rams still have no true 3-4 de.
if they went wr in the second round. i’d want kupp.
he’s not fast. 40 is not blazing, but his short shuttle and 3-cone times are outstanding. elite. and he’s got elite production. i read that he burned that outstanding washington secondary with baker, jones, and king.
thinking about it and thinking about it.
it’d be hard for this regime not to go offense with their first pick. they’ve invested so much already in giving goff the best possible chance of success. from coaching hires to free agency. but i don’t think there’s a center worth taking that early. maybe in the third round with a stopgap center to be signed in free agency.
i think it comes down to tight end because it fits need and this is a loaded class. it will most likely be engram if he’s available. if not then someone like bucky hodges. the advantage of guys like these is they could probably be lined up like wide receivers in certain instances. shoot i’ve read that hodges was used almost exclusively at wide receiver last season. huge red zone targets too for goff.
You know I buy into the idea that they can get 4 players who can contribute in rounds 2-4. It;s just a matter of who’s there and what they’re looking at–CB? Safety? Edge rusher? DE, maybe? TE? WR?
they can. i just worry that mcvay’s first inclination is to draft offense when this draft outside of tight end and running back, is so strong on defense.
in my opinion, he needs to have the whole team picture in mind and that means drafting defense. this team more than anything just needs strong starters. it isn’t one wide receiver away from contending. it needs talent at every single unit. so why not draft the strongest players.
