wvParticipant5 WRs off the board now, taken in the third round, as of pick 17
w
vwvParticipantSteelers take the Penn State QB: Allar. 6’5, 228 lbs.
w
vwvParticipantCardinals take the Miami QB, Beck, at the top of the third. He’s a good ‘processor,’ apparently. Also 6’5″ and 233 Lbs.
Always interesting to see how a QB class turns out.
The experts all seemed to agree this was not a great QB class. Would be fun to see this class surprise them.
w
vwvParticipantAn F’ing Tight End. I had to look that up.
A.I.
An “F” tight end is a versatile, athletic “move” tight end used primarily for receiving and creating mismatches, often lining up in the slot, as an H-back, or in motion rather than in-line. Often called a “joker” or “chess piece,” they are crucial in modern NFL offenses for their flexibility to run routes like a receiver or block inw
vwvParticipantThis is a new version of F them picks, i think.
So what will they take in round 3 — whats the next position where they dont have a need?
w
vwvParticipantIs there a name for an offense that uses 0 WRs and 4 Tight Ends?
w
vwvParticipantIt’s rare. Quantity of starts is supposed to be a major factor in future NFL production for QBs. Exceptions, as others have noted. Ironically, the Rams, under McSnead, tend to go for older, more experienced players. Simpson is older, but not more experienced.
Regardless, I question the pick on a lot of grounds. Lack of game experience is just one of them.
Ty Simpson aside, can you even picture McVay coaching up a raw green rookie?
I just cant picture it. After being with Mr Hall of Fame veteran all these years, I fear McVay might go into Goff-hating-mode. Or whatever we wanna call it.
w
vwvParticipantCam Newton. 14 college starts.
If the Rams took a Cam-Newton-type-QB, I’d probably be cheering. I must have a ‘physical’ trait bias.
Ty is not the great ‘athlete’ with big arm and speed to burn. Supposedly, he has the great mental part of it. The invisible trait. Brady, Brees, etc.
We’ll see. I hope he’s better than Stetson.
w
vwvParticipantSo are we all agreed on the need for a Long Snapper with pick 61 ? Consensus?
w
vwvParticipantKurt Warner.
True. Course he had quite a journey before he became a great one. Packers, Barnstormers, Admirals..
I just wonder about all this “he’s a good processor” stuff. They know this after only 15 starts at Alabama?
I enjoyed his commentary on the Chase Daniel vid. He is not going to need any Kyler Murray clauses in his contract.
w
vwvParticipantNot happy with the Simpson pick. But they didn’t ask me, of course. Too soon for him. Most folks were talking late 1st round into 2nd. And it’s surely not an “all in, play for today” kinda pick. Hope they at least tried to trade down and were just stymied, etc.
Anyway, they’re gonna need to hit on the next two rounds. Hoping it’s wideout and upgrade at linebacker. Role the dice on some small college athletes with their late picks.
15 starts. Has any QB with that type of college history ever turned out to be a top NFL QB? I dunno. I cant think of one offhand.
w
vwvParticipantI am with Invader on McVay wanting him, and not WV on the more dire possible futures.
..Dire possible futures? I havent even started on THAT yet. One of them involves McVay, Epstein and dog-eating robots.
w
vwvParticipantIn the process of watching the Chase Daniel vid with Ty Simpson.
“…check the ball down, just get the ball out…cannot take a safety…taking a safety is almost, ya know, just plain Disrespectful to the Football Gods.”
w
vwvParticipant49ers get a WR at the top of the second round, i see. 6’2. 207 Lbs. Dude runs a 4.36.
w
vwvParticipantNick Wright not a fan of the pick. I started the vid past his argument though. I started where he made a small but interesting point about the unique made-up-category the Rams are in:
wvParticipantwell. that would suck.
so. i prefer not to believe that.
Indeed. It would be ironic if…when McVay retires every other team in the NFL has a McVay disciple at the helm, and yet the Rams ended up without one 🙂
I cant picture McVay coaching a green, rookie QB, btw. I cant picture it. He’s had success with topflight vet-QBs, so far.
w
vwvParticipant“..Snead and his scouts value what they call a “central nervous system” in a quarterback..”
Good to know.
I’ve always preferred QBs with a brain and spinal chord as well.
w
vwvParticipant… I don’t think he likes this pick, either, and if I was in Snead’s shoes, I wouldn’t have chose a QB that my head coach was not excited about. Especially when that head coach is the best coach in Rams history, and has already flirted with leaving.
I was wondering about that, too. I’m hoping that McVay has not already told the Rams that when Stafford retires, McVay will leave. ….maybe Snead chose Ty Simpson because he knows HE is the one who has to take the long view, cause McVay wont be there to pick up the pieces.
Just somethin i wondered about for a few seconds. Just wv-mind wandering. Or wondering. Or somethin.w
vwvParticipantSeattle guy reacts
Yup.
Thats Brock Huard. Former Huskie and Seahawk QB. I have watched too many Mike MacDonald interviews, so I’m familiar with Huard.
Obviously no-one knows how this will all turn out, and theres a gazillion permutations the Universe could spray around, but…as of today, this is my least favorite Rams pick since…well….maybe, ever. I may have a different view down the road, of course. I mean, I thought Kurt was a ridiculous choice at one time.
Right NOW, though, i just cant get past the thought that they could have had Lemon, Puka and Davante on the field against the Seahawks. I know Brock Huard was afraid of that.
w
vwvParticipantBreer: “…i think there’s a good chance if they dont take Simpson at 13, he falls all the way through the first round.”
wvParticipantApril 23rd was my birthday.
w
vA belated happy birthday to you. Sorry that an old wound was reopened.
I would feel a lot better about next year if M.Lemon were on this team.
Lemon is: 1) A sure thing. 2) A difference-maker for next season.
Ty Simpson is: 1) Not a sure thing. Actually, a huge roll of the dice. 2) Not a difference-maker next season.
w
vwvParticipantApril 23rd was my birthday. One year, for my birthday, I really really really wanted a plastic German Luger pistol. And instead, i got a plastic Winchester rifle. I was crestfallen.
Ty Simpson is a plastic Winchester rifle.
Sigh.
w
vwvParticipantSaw this on Yahoo: “New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel will miss Day 3 of the 2026 NFL Draft and plans to seek counseling amid the Dianna Russini scandal, according to a statement acquired by ESPN…”
w
vwvParticipant…if nothing else take a listen to the Onion guy give his speech at bout the 35 minute mark. He sounds like one of the good-guyz.
w
vwvParticipantThe Onion bought Alex Jones’ Info-Wars. Or did it. I dunno.
I get tired of using word ‘surreal.’ But…ya know.
wvParticipant“too much science”
wvParticipantIf i were teaching a class on modern amerikan politics, i would have to include in the syllabus, a day or two covering pro wrestling and MMA.
April 17, 2026 at 8:06 am in reply to: new Rams draft thread…April (except WR stuff which has its own thread) #163308wvParticipantCC and JM just dont think this draft class is strong, in general.
CC thinks part of the reason is ‘blue state parents’ arent letting their kids play football.
wvParticipantApril 16, 2026 at 9:35 am in reply to: new Rams draft thread…April (except WR stuff which has its own thread) #163300wvParticipantThey do the Rams at 27:03 in. Jourdan Rodrique takes OT at the 13 spot: “McVay likes skill players….but If cooler heads prevail….”
