he’ll be more pro ready than lynch although lynch might have the higher upside, and it should help that he’ll have gurley in the backfield to take pressure off him.

I’ve seen Goff compared to Ryan.

.

i saw that. i could live with that. surprised that cosell rates him above mariota and winston.

i’m also surprised that cosell had questions about goff under pressure. i coulda sworn i heard waldman say he liked goff under pressure.

if you asked me last week i would a said don’t trade up.

but i’m starting to think that if goff is available at the 7th or 8th spot, rams should start making some calls.

despite his terrifyingly miniscule hands.

i have him rated number 3 among qbs. i’d take him at 15 if goff and wentz weren’t available.

either that or take doctson or best defensive player available.

a strong arm and some mobility. but serious questions about ability to make quick decisions and read defenses.

i do like him better than cook.

yeah. no trade up. not worth it. i would, however, like them to be aggressive with that pick. don’t play it safe.

i’d like to see a starting 5 of robinson, brown, barnes, wichmann, and havenstein.

yeah. if he can be better than a solid starter then that’s gravy.

i have posted in the fact that robinson came out as a raw prospect. only two years of competitive college ball. on top of that a very basic offense even by today’s standards. and he’s made progress in his second year. was some of the problems his own doing? sure. but this is also his first full offseason without having some type of injury to rehab from. so here’s hoping.

if he can be a solid starter i’ll be happy. don’t necessarily need the next orlando.

i would in the third if he’s that good. maybe i’m remembering it wrong. but a lot of games lost on misses field goals the past 2 years.

Bentley has more time he can spend with GR.

yes. also very important. plus i believe he was recovering from toe surgery last offseason.

interesting. i think rgiii’s main problem was and is staying healthy. the reports about attitude problems are overblown. get him reps and play to his strengths and he can be a player. as long as he can stay healthy.

I just thought I would look at some stuff from last year, in case the Rams don’t go with plan A, B, or C of the fans popular ideas to trade up for a QB.

Randy Karraker said about a month after the draft, that the Rams would have take Cook at #10, over T Gurley.

interesting. question is how do they rank cook with the other qbs in this draft. do they rate lynch over cook?

the rams will miss his leadership though. organization of the defense.

unless ogletree can assume those responsibilities the rams are in trouble.

i’d actually be pleasantly surprised if the rams traded up and picked jack.

I may be in the minority among Rams fans but I would rather they not take a QB in this draft. I’d rather use those picks to fill the holes of guys they’ve lost in free agency. And on offense–improve the line and receivers.

I’m fine with Case starting and Mannion developing as his back up for now. Maybe Foles has a miracle resurrection. Chasing an elite QB comes at a cost. I’m not sure it’s worth it at this point and time. As for the later rounds–I’d rather they bring in depth at other positions.

I may rethink that if that’s what happens and all the QBs melt down. But I’m sticking with it for now.

i certainly am not opposed to drafting doctson in the first round and then adding a hunter henry in the second to give keenum some more support. and even if keenum isn’t the answer maybe mannion steps up. then spend the rest of the draft finding a free safety and lbs and d linemen.

if jared cook goes on and has a 1000 yard season with green bay i’ll vomit.

Apparently teams value measurables over performance. When they see Cook they see his size and speed and the length of his arms but fail to see the drops. Often those drops have cost the Rams games. Cook has snatched defeat from the jaws of victory more than once with his inconsistency.

Or maybe they think they can ‘fix’ him. Even though this is a pattern established over 7 seasons so I doubt it’s fixable.

i’m mostly joking but thompson and mccarthy seem to be pretty competent. probably won’t happen but it’d hurt if they could get out of cook what the rams could not.
