“..The Rams also have the NFL’s best receivers room..”

I dunno. Maybe.

JSN / Cooper Kupp…
Pickens/CeeDee Lamb…
JaMarr Chase/ T.Higgins..
Jauan Jennings/ Justin Jefferson / Jordan Addison…
Jeudy/KC Concecion / Denzel Boston…

One of the reasons i liked Lemon at pick 13 was the Davante situation. I am concerned he’s gonna be slow and old this year. It happens 🙂

In the Baldy/Hav vid. I give Erin Coscarelli a lot of credit. She shut-up and let them talk to each other. Dont see that much among the celebrity-interviewer crowd.

Sometimes Erin is a bit too cheerleady-smarmy for my taste but she does have talent.

Draft talk. …Bomani has always had issues with Stafford, btw. He is an old Lions fan, among other things. (He has also commented a lot on how white QBs get treated differently than black QBs)

Well is it at all concerning that Ty could not beat out Bryce Young in 2022, or Milroe in 2023 and 2024 ?

Was it ever a competition?

Sounds more like the coach just had his qbs slotted and went with it.

I saw this on the internet but who knows.

First, Ty Simpson was not named the starter against South Florida in 2023, Ty Buchner was.

In 2023, Buchner transferred from Notre Dame to Alabama to compete for the starting quarterback job. Jalen Milroe had started a couple of games for Alabama after Bryce Young was briefly injured in 2022. In these limited starts, Milroe looked like a very talented backup, which is to say that he made some eye-popping, athletic plays, but was inconsistent. In Fall 2023 practice, Milroe won the job over Buchner and Simpson. He led the Tide to a 56–7 stomping of Middle Tennessee State to open the season. But, in Week 2, Milroe struggled against Texas, throwing two critical interceptions, in a 34–24 Bama loss.

Against South Florida, Coach Nick Saban decided to see if Buchner, who had considerable experience behind center with Notre Dame, could do better than Milroe. Buchner, who played the first half, was not good, going 5-of-14 for 34 yards. Simpson came in, did not look up to being the Alabama quarterback, but was 5-of-9 for 74 yards and led the Tide to two second-half touchdowns in the 17–3 win. Simpson did not throw for a score, but ran for a touchdown. The next week, against Ole Miss, Milroe was back as the Alabama starting quarterback — he was clearly the best of the three even if he was inconsistent — and Milroe led the Tide to a 24–10 win.

As the season went on, Milroe got better and more confident. Simpson also got better and become more confident so much so he was the second-string quarterback over Buchner over the second half of the season. Milroe led the Tide to a spot in the playoffs and had Alabama in position to win on a fourth-and-three with one play left in the game against eventual national champs Michigan. The play call was for Milroe to run the ball and score. However, a bad snap caused timing issues with the play and Milroe was stopped short of the goal line. I have always wondered what would have happened if the snap was good and Milroe was able to carry out the play as planned.

At the end of the vid, Steve says according to HIS metrics the Rams are the best drafting team since 2018.

not sure i’m a believer, but i’ll root for him.

i would have chosen sadiq.

Its gonna be tough to adjust to ‘any’ QB after watching Stafford and his no-look-darts and ridiculous-tight-window throws. Ah well.

Sadiq? You know, i think i would have gone with R.Bain. Add Bain to that defense, with the new secondary and…oh yeah. It’d be like having two Verses.

I would feel a lot better about Ty, if they pick up a good veteran WR. Whats Robert Woods doing?

Sometimes ya gotta slow down to feel the speed up.

Ok, Ty is our guy now, so we are all gonna root for him, etc etc.

But just curious about what you guyz would do, if you could make the pick at 13, and
you had these choices (all players that went after pick 13) :

1 Ty simpson

2 Reuben Bain, Edge, Miami
3 M.Lemon, WR, USC
4 Blake Miller, OT, Clemson
5 KC Concecion, WR, Texas AM
6 Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon
7 Omar Cooper, wR, Indiana

I get all the rational/reasonable reasons for taking Ty. But, man, picture adding Bain to the rotation on the DLine this year. Or Lemon to offense. I would have taken either of those two If I had been picking.

There’s a lot to like about the Ty pick, though. I get that. Intriguing, bold, gamble by McSnead.

Whats the plan if Stafford goes down for a month or so?

What if its in the first part of the season — is Ty-15-college-starts going to be the Rams back-up QB? Or are they keeping Stetson and carrying three QBs?

Whats the back-up QB plan?

Among the NFL free agents still available:

I think they should sign Tyreek and L’Jarius.

Maybe Travis Kelce as well.
