May 2, 2021 at 3:55 pm in reply to: how do you “grade” this draft? or just…what do you make of this draft #129562InvaderRamModerator
just a little more about bobby brown.
6’4″ 321 pounds
34.75″ arms
10.5″ handsnot only is this guy big. he’s long. extremely long. so just in terms of physical size he is big in every sense of the word. he’s even got big mitts for hands to hold off blockers and push them to the side.
but then you got to the speed, agility, and explosion numbers.
40 – 4.98s
short shuttle – 4.63s
3-cone – 7.65s
vert – 33″
broad – 9’5″there’s very few men who could put up the numbers brown put up at that size.
May 2, 2021 at 12:10 pm in reply to: how do you “grade” this draft? or just…what do you make of this draft #129553InvaderRamModeratorif they had drafted meinerz instead of tutu i’m happy.
although i gotta say. i love that name tutu. my wish is that he put tutu on the back of his jersey. that would be cool as hell.
but maybe the rams not picking an olineman is a good sign? maybe that’s an indication of where the oline talent is on this team… or maybe it’s indicative of a serious blindspot for this rams’ organization. my hope is it’s the former.
but i like the jones pick. he’s not the fastest. but he’s explosive. and he seems to have the mental traits to be a leader. i think jordan fuller when i think jones. now this is just based on what i read. so take it for what it’s worth.
i love the bobby brown iii pick. absolutely love it. he’s 20 years old. 20. he is a baby. a huge lumbering baby who -if he figures it out – can mature to be a hulk. but physically he has it all. and it looks like maybe he was starting to figure it out his last year at school. i am not even exaggerating when i say that. physically he’s about as good as it gets.
robert rochell? again. physically he has it all. and i trust the rams when they pick defensive backs.
jacob harris i’m intrigued by. just as a wr prospect. again. athletically this guy has the movement skills of a small cornerback. i mean a 6.51 3-cone!!! what!? that crazy. but he’s 6’5″ 220 pounds! he’s got good length. not great. and the explosion! explosive athlete. about as good as it gets. but what i’m really intrigued by is talk about him being moved to tight end. if he could gain 20 pounds. and not lose too much of his athleticism. i’m intrigued by what he could do. he has a soccer background. didn’t play football until his senior year in high school. and last year could not have been ideal for his development. so he’s raw. he’s also on the older side. he’s 24. but in the fourth round why not take a gamble?
jake funk is also a pick i really liked. history in knee injuries. ok but he was picked in the seventh round. and akers is still the main running back. i think funk could be a decent backup.
but bobby brown iii. what a pick. that pick made my day. that’s the guy i’ll be following as the new season approaches. so excited.
InvaderRamModeratorok. he will be in his age 24 season. physically this guy is off the charts.
if he does play tight end do they ask him to add weight. but then his athleticism is sure to take a hit.
i’m intrigued.
InvaderRamModeratorjake funk. still only 23 despite struggling with injuries.
his agility numbers are very good.
short shuttle – 4.12s
3-cone – 6.71svery good numbers for a running back and usually indicates success at that position.
but the knee injuries. i think he makes an impact as a backup running back. but increase his reps and i don’t think you can rely on him.
InvaderRamModeratorhis agility numbers really stand out to me.
but i think he’s up there in age. 24 or 25.
InvaderRamModeratorHis techniques and reaction times just aren’t there yet.
and he’s only 20 years old. you’d expect those things to improve as he gets older.
InvaderRamModeratorhis size length and athleticism are all top notch.
and i just read he doesn’t even turn 21 until august.
i think this guy is a potential steal.

InvaderRamModeratorok. i will say this. tutu atwell has one of the best football names in recent memory. i mean. damn. that’s a helluva name.
InvaderRamModeratorno comment.
InvaderRamModeratori like this pick.
InvaderRamModeratorlions pick sewell.
InvaderRamModeratorlions got sewell to help protect goff. big honkin left tackle.
InvaderRamModeratorThe pick is in. Trey Lance. That is rolling the dice.
but if they hit, it will be rams’ misery.
InvaderRamModeratorI’m hearing @AaronRodgers12 to @Broncos is close to a done deal… still could fall thru but fingers crossed Crossed fingers
as long as it’s not the niners.
InvaderRamModeratori like the fact that he will have had 2 years to recover from his acl injury.
InvaderRamModeratorI would like to see the Rams get Walker Little. I would pick him at 57.
i would be cool with that. rams need a future left tackle.
InvaderRamModeratorI think that Snead might trade some picks from next for a couple picks this year. We have all those extra comp picks next year and I am reading that people think the picks from next year’s draft are gold. So instead of trading up or back we use some 2022 picks.
i have no idea what snead is thinking, but they only have so much time with stafford. unless he signs an extension or something. so why not just go for it now?
InvaderRamModeratorhe’s currently projected as a second or third rounder although that’s almost certainly changing by the day.
payton turner.
has played multiple positions along the defensive line.
6’5″ 270 lbs. 35″ arms 10 1/4″ hands.
4.25s short shuttle
6.98s 3-cone
35″ verticalthat’s who i’d like to see the rams pick in the second if he’s even available.
InvaderRamModeratorAnd white folks posting, “I can breathe.”
i can’t believe i’m actually going to defend mark davis a billionaire…
but reading the explanation of why he tweeted that. i can understand it. he was echoing the words of george floyd’s brother philonise who apparently said, “we can all breathe again.”
so i can understand why he said it and am not completely aghast. yes. he should know the history behind those words and at least admitted he understood why people would be offended when it was explained to him.
but yeah. i agree. how many times has this happened and it wasn’t filmed?

funniest thing i’ve read this year. haha!
talk about embarrassing.
more embarrassing that donald actually saved him from an even bigger ass kicking. he should be thanking him.
April 16, 2021 at 7:28 pm in reply to: Lawyer says assault charges to be filed against Aaron Donald #129061InvaderRamModeratori think this is bullshit.
sorry for my language. but i don’t believe it for one second.
InvaderRamModeratorNFLPA continues to push hard for no in-person work this spring.
Says NFLPA President J.C. Tretter: “The NFL doesn’t get to decide when the pandemic is over, or when we get to stop caring about COVID.”you know. not that i disagree with him. cuz i do. we still need to be careful. but i can’t help but wonder how many players will use that as an opportunity to travel and get together with friends and have just a good old wholesome time.
InvaderRamModeratorJourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigue
Like Snead mentioned a couple weeks ago, I’m pretty excited about a couple of those younger DL who were hidden on the practice squad last year. Eric Banks and Michael Hoecht in particular.jonah williams too.
InvaderRamModeratorso maybe sean really needs to find a legit coordinator for the offense? not just in name. but also to have the autonomy to be able to be that?
InvaderRamModeratori don’t know who’s fault it is. probably a combination of both.
i do think mcvay could have made it work. but he didn’t want to.
we’ll see if it works.
InvaderRamModeratorgeez. regardless i hope he finds what he’s been looking for. clearly something is bothering him.
InvaderRamModeratorThe jury is out on whether McVay is right about any
or all of that, but it does sound like the
young-aggro coach didnt ‘handle’ his
quarterback in a way that would bring out the best in Goff.McVay is no Dick Vermeil. Course DV needed Martz.
would martz have handled it better?
With a hired nutritionist, throwing coach and personal trainer outside of the Rams’ facility, Goff put in the work required of most starting NFL quarterbacks. But when compared to Wolford, who some refer to as Baby Brees, it fell short.
Wolford arrived early during the week for practices — 6:30 a.m. — and stayed late, even when he was on the practice squad. “Just a different animal,” a league source said.
“He’s addicted like McVay,” a team source said.
The energy around the practice facility shifted when Wolford took over.
that’s the only thing that disappointed me about goff. when they drafted him, those are the things i wanted to hear about goff. that he was addicted to football. oh well. i still like him.
March 22, 2021 at 11:44 pm in reply to: Rams mock draft after Jackson signing – Jake Ellenbogen #128586InvaderRamModeratorso i’m guessing the rams biggest needs at this moment are linebacker, oline, and dline?
InvaderRamModeratortotally forgot about the jackson mcvay connection.
InvaderRamModeratordesean in his prime was a pleasure to watch. i hope he can find some of that magic again.
