well i’m sure everyone thinks so, but all things considered, i think the rams did a good job. good value it would seem with the higbee and thomas picks. possible day 2 talents gotten on the day 3.

i’m especially hopeful of the higbee pick. having a dual threat tight end would be tremendous especially paired alongside kendricks.

yeah, and there are some good udfas out there

yes. udfas. those will be important this year.

here’s another video on mike thomas. rsp film room.

2016 NFL Draft Scouting Report: Southern Mississippi WR Mike Thomas

can never have too many h-backs in my opinion. if it were up to me. i’d get rid of all wide receivers and replace them with h-backs.

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

yeah. i’m liking how the offense is shaping up. possible steal of a tight end. a slot receiver.

no number one wr type. but maybe don’t need one with goff spreading the ball around. hopefully the receivers we have now also actually get the ball with a qb able to actually see the open receivers. kendricks and austin that is. and britt too! almost forgot.

yeah legal issues stemming from some bar fight he got into. pleading not guilty but also not his first run-in with the law. he might be stupid.

well yes. he will use him. i’m not trying to say this is going to be 3 yards and a cloud of dust but like zn said there’s going to be balance.

for me personally i want to see 300 carries for gurley and 500 passes for goff with some austin running the ball a little bit. around 50 carries.

and i’d also want to see gurley featured more in the passing game. kind of like a le’veon bell.

it’s not a fisher qb. it’s a fisher philosophy.

as long as gurley is on this team it’s going to be lining up under center and play action. we’re not going to see goff lining up the majority of snaps in shotgun and whipping the ball around like brady.

it’s just not going to happen while gurley is a ram. if it does i’ll admit i’m wrong but i don’t see it.

As for those concerns about Goff’s frame, Flaherty thinks the QB will be up to “240 pounds easy” by his third season in the league. Keep in mind, Goff also doesn’t turn 22 untill the middle of his rookie season.

wow. i didn’t think 240. i figured maybe 230 pounds. but it’s good to hear. and yeah he’s only 21 years old.

for what it’s worth rodgers at cal was 18-7 in his two seasons. he did not start his freshman year like goff did.

so his record was 18-7 compared to goff who was 13-12. he did have marshawn lynch and jj arrington his last year at cal. jj arrington was a second round pick the same year rodgers declared for the nfl draft in 2005. arrington had 2000 yards rushing that year. lynch had 628 yards that year. 2004. cal went 10-2. goff went 8-5 this season his last.

i have nothing against goff. i still have problems with the trade though. this is a deep defensive draft, and there are some prospects to be gotten in the second round. shoot. if i was the rams and i hadn’t made the trade, i’d be looking to move up to draft myles jack.

that being said i think goff will turn out to be good. i got this from the original herd board. and it makes me feel comfortable with the pick despite his small hands.

football outsiders has goff as the 9th best qb prospect to come out in the last 20 years. meaning he has the ninth best chance of succeeding in the pros of any qb in the last 20 years. now this isn’t foolproof and they are constantly changing the factors that go into predicting success. some guys have ended up as flops such as beck, griffin, ponder, and mcnown. but he’s in pretty good company right there.

and the fact that he has gurley to shoulder a lot of the load and a good defense to take pressure off him makes his chances that much better.

his redzone production was ridonkulous.
