InvaderRamModeratori like this pick. immediate impact on special teams.
InvaderRamModeratorHe looks like he can add the proverbial new dimension to the Rams’ O. McVay is gonna love that.
what i like about mcvay most is he always remains balanced. he doesn’t forsake the run for the pass. sure in games sometimes he may get carried away.
but this will always be a play action offense first. it’s a balanced offense, and he’ll never leave goff out to dry.
and at the same time it’s always exciting. explosive.
InvaderRamModeratorMcVay called him a unique playmaker, and when asked, said this pick was about Henderson’s skills and not Todd Gurley’s knee.
not buying it. i like the pick, but at least part of it was about the knee.
i do think henderson will be fun to watch though. that highlight tape was something else.
i’m just worried about dline right now.
InvaderRamModeratormy second favorite pick. although i wish he could play center.
InvaderRamModeratordude is slow.
but his short shuttle and 3 cone times are startlingly good.
3.99 and 6.82.
those are elite times. but his lack of top end speed worries me.
InvaderRamModeratorthis i think is my favorite pick. but it also makes me go gulp!
mcvay is gonna have a lot of fun working this guy into the offense.
have i seen this kid play? no. nor have i seen any of these guys play…
but the stats alone make me excited.
InvaderRamModeratori’m warming up to the idea of solidifying that center position.
risner is particularly interesting because he could fill in at guard as well. i don’t know if mccoy could do that. i think he could because he’s got the size and athleticism.
or even if they could play guard and replace blythe with allen playing center. i’m tending towards wanting to strengthen the lines whether that be defensive or offensive.
but if they decide to go defensive back i won’t be disappointed. that already happened when tillery came off the board.
InvaderRamModeratorto me it’s obvious they wanted tillery. once he came off the board the rams traded. i don’t know how else to explain it.
at this point i don’t care who they pick. cb, ol, lb…
i’m disappointed though. that woulda been a helluva dline right there.
InvaderRamModeratori hope they just get any dlineman. one of the top ones.
i hope they don’t go oline. it’s better they address that later.
InvaderRamModeratorIf we are not going to pick Dline, I would rather have a DB than a center.
or an edge rusher.
InvaderRamModeratorMarshawn was one of the best ever. A little better than Steven Jackson?
i would say definitely not. lynch had the benefit of playing on superior teams.
i can only imagine how jackson would have been in mcvay’s offense.
InvaderRamModeratorlove those vids on simmons, tillery, and lawrence, ag.
tillery looks like the best to me still. and with the most potential.
InvaderRamModeratorSnead said there may be so many good D-linemen that none of them make it to the 31st pick.
that’s my fear.
InvaderRamModeratoryeah. tillery would be something else. imagine him playing alongside and learning from aaron donald. he and lawrence both have exceptional size, strength, explosion, length.
but tillery especially has that body type. so many nfl players have or have had success in this league.
deforest buckner was mentioned in that video.
but also…
richard seymour
chris jones
calais campbellthat length, size, speed combo is just immense. and the only downside on him is that he’s raw and has interests outside of football? i mean those really aren’t negatives.
it’s been written about his work ethic and his nastiness. no, i’m not worried at all. but it’s also why i don’t think he lasts til 31. no way.
InvaderRamModeratorat this point i don’t think tillery lasts until the rams’ pick.
i want no part of simmons.
i think there’s a chance lawrence is there at 31. i want him. trading down and pickup saunders would be good too.
InvaderRamModeratoroh right. weird.
that thing is monstrous up close.
that whole area is going to completely change.
InvaderRamModeratorregardless. he’s got best case scenario 3 prime years left in his legs.
the clock is ticking.
this could accelerate things. i hope not, but even with the best case scenario he’s already past the halfway point of his career.
InvaderRamModeratorfrom NFL stars who could fade this coming season
#5. Jared Goff, quarterback, Los Angeles Rams
If the end of last season is any indication, it’s quite possible that we’ve already seen Goff’s best. Playoffs included, he threw seven touchdowns compared to eight interceptions over his final eight games. The Rams decided against extending him this offseason, a move critics will argue suggests the team may think Goff has already hit his ceiling.well. like i’ve said before. he may very well regress at some point in the next 2 seasons. but that would actually be normal for a lot of qbs.
i don’t think it means you give up on him. and i think mcvay and snead are too smart to do that.
InvaderRamModeratori just hope no one was hurt.
InvaderRamModeratorAdam Schefter@AdamSchefter
Both Clemson DL, Dexter Lawrence and Clelin Ferrell, are visiting today with the Los Angeles Rams, per source.interesting.
InvaderRamModeratori really hope this kid is ok. he’s got a chance to be really good one. just enjoy watching him play every week.
InvaderRamModeratori like everything about winovich except for his disproportionately short arms. if only they were an inch longer.
on the other hand i love that his major was evolutionary anthropology.
InvaderRamModeratorJust playing.
hahahaha!
i know. seriously worries me though that tillery isn’t gonna last until 31.
but shoot. if tillery is gone but dexter is still there, i hope they don’t pick winovich.
short arms!
InvaderRamModeratorbooo!
InvaderRamModeratorit’ll be good to have him with the young guys as they navigate their first full season as starters.
April 3, 2019 at 5:46 pm in reply to: 2019 NFL draft big Boards & Mocks & other all-purpose draft stuff #99629InvaderRamModeratorthe closer we get to draft day the more i’m thinking the rams should be drafting tillery. if the opportunity is there.
my main worry is that he creeps up everybody’s draft boards.
InvaderRamModeratorHow the H.E. Double hockey sticks would you rank Mitch Trubisky over Deshaun Watson?
it is a little baffling. i always thought pretty highly of watson. woulda been my pick if the rams hadn’t picked goff the year before. of course i had no idea how good mahomes would be at the time.
InvaderRamModeratorJust to put Ed Oliver’s 4.19 short-shuttle time into perspective, here’s some other notable results:
4.18 – Antonio Brown
4.19 – DeSean Jackson
4.24 – Saquon Barkley
4.24 – Le’Veon Bell
4.25 – Julio Jones
4.39 – Aaron Donaldthat’s just plain nuts.
probably doesn’t make it to the rams.
plus he’s got short arms.
InvaderRamModeratordunno. he was ranked top 5 among tight ends for what it’s worth.
and he definitely flashed last year.
2019 is a make or break year.
InvaderRamModeratorSo did Wade do a good job or not?
Playoffs: Cowboys got 22, Saints got 23, Pats got 13.
Is that good?
w
vyeah. i sometimes wonder if he’s lost his fastball.
he’s got a reputation for turning defenses around. not sure if i’ve seen it yet. i expected more by now. is it personnel? do they need more of a pass rush? dunno.
with the oline being a question mark. or at least moreso than last year. and gurley needing to be managed instead of the workhorse they were accustomed to. and with the draft being particularly talented on the dline and edge. i’d like to see the defense pick up the slack. get a blue chip dlineman. draft an edge defender for depth.
and then we gotta see if wade can turn the defense around. i think the results with the rams have been mixed.
