Love the Rams selection of Noteboom.
Possibly planning for life after Andrew Whitworth. Hit elite 20 yard shuttle score.

Noteboom posted an elite #RAS with fantastic numbers everywhere but vertical jump where he posted one of the worst scores of the class.

10. JOSEPH NOTEBOOM | TCU 6050 | 309 lbs. | rSR. Plano, Texas (Plano) 6/28/1995 (age 22.8) #68

BACKGROUND: A three-star defensive end recruit out of high school, Joseph “Joe” Noteboom, who also starred as a club hockey player, was a sophomore tight end at Plano Senior before moving to defensive end and guard as a junior. He transitioned to left tackle as a senior, earning Honorable Mention all-state honors. Relatively new to the tackle position, Noteboom wasn’t considered a top recruit and committed to nearby TCU over offers from Texas Tech, Purdue and Duke. After redshirting in 2013, he played in all 13 games as a reserve in 2014. Noteboom became a sophomore starter and split his playing time between left and right tackle in 2016. He started exclusively at left tackle as a junior and started all 13 games. Noteboom started all 14 games at left tackle as a senior, earning All-Big 12 Honorable Mention honors. He accepted his invitation to the 2018 Senior Bowl.

YEAR (GP/GS) 2013: Redshirted 2014: (13/0) 2015: (13/13) 11 RT, 2 LT 2016: (13/13) 13 LT 2017: (14/14) 14 LT Total: (53/40) 29 LT, 11 RT HT WT ARM HAND WING 40-YD 20-YD 10-YD VJ BJ SS 3C BP COMBINE 6050 309 34 3/8 09 5/8 83 1/2 4.96 2.88 1.71 24 08’06” 4.44 7.65 27 PRO DAY N/A (positional drills only)

STRENGTHS: Broad shouldered frame with functional length…initial quickness to cut off wide speed…anchor issues, but sinks just enough to slow down speed-to-power moves…athleticism to advance to the second level and block outside the numbers on screens/stretch plays…rolls his hips at contact to engage and challenge defenders…competitive and looks to finish…collapses the line on down blocks…earned Academic All-Big 12 honors each of the last four seasons and graduated with his undergraduate degree (May 2017), playing as a graduate student as a senior…durable and started 40 straight games to finish his career, including starts at left and right tackle – also practiced at guard.

WEAKNESSES: Tall pass-sets…pads continue to rise once engaged, struggling to regain leverage…marginal anchor and plays too much on his heels…wide hands and soft punch, failing to create blow-back at contact…doesn’t maximize body angles…jarred off-balance, losing vision and footing…suspect sustain skills and upper body ends up overextended…out of control at the second level, ending up on the ground…has excess weight on his body…false start penalties were a negative trend.

SUMMARY: A three-year starter at TCU, Noteboom lined up in a two- and three-point stance as a left tackle for the Horned Frogs’ offense, starting 40 straight games to finish his collegiate career. His lower body movements are encouraging, which was confirmed with his quality numbers in the athletic drills at the Scouting Combine. Noteboom looks to deliver a jolt, but he isn’t a sustain player, lunging and struggling to stay square to his target. His effectiveness will greatly improve with better lower body sink and timing with his technique. Overall, Noteboom’s college tape is a mix of sloppy and successful snaps, but he has the resume and traits to move his way up a NFL depth chart, eventually pushing for starting reps at tackle or guard. GRADE: 4th Round

Snead/McVay at the podium. Snead touts Noteboom’s 40 starts as one of the reasons why #LARams wanted to pick him up. McVay says, ““He’s a very impressive person. … We’re excited about Joe.”

During the presser, Snead said there probably isn’t a young tackle walking into a better situation with being able to learn behind Whitworth, Havenstein, and under OL coach Aaron Kromer.

McVay says part of drafting Noteboom is being able to add depth. The fact that Noteboom can play right and left tackle adds to his versatility.

McVay credits Snead and his staff for the team’s draft prep, as this was a scenario that they thought could happen and it did. Adds team feels really good about Noteboom and where things stand for tomorrow.

A lot of good tweets here on the pick: http://theramshuddle.com/topic/tweets-4-27-including-noteboom-stuff/

The Rams have drafted 9 players since the start of 2017. 7 of them played in the Senior Bowl.

Kristen Lago@kristennlago
“What a great, young team it is. I think it’s the perfect spot.” — Joseph Noteboom on being drafted by the #LaRams

“I think they have an explosive offense which we had at TCU. Just athleticism, coachability. Just do whatever they want me to do, help the offense out and try to score many points.”
— Noteboom on what he hopes to bring to Los Angeles

The newest #LaRams left tackle will get to learn under 12-year veteran Andrew Whitworth. Noteboom said he “knew a lot about Whitworth” from watching him on tape.

— “It’s perfect, I’ll learn from a Pro Bowler, a veteran,” Noteboom said.

Quick story on the Rams No. 89 overall pick — Joseph Noteboom. The left tackle closed out his college career with 40 straight starts and was an All-Big 12 Honorable Mention in 2017

“Joe is a lucky man. I don’t think any other lineman will be in a better situation.” — Rams general manager Les Snead

Alden Gonzalez@Alden_Gonzalez
Rams are gonna own that sixth round.

Rich Hammond@Rich_Hammond
Joseph Noteboom, on working with Andrew Whitworth: “I know a lot about Whitworth. I’ve watched a lot of him. I’m excited. I’m going to take in everything he’s telling me. That’s the perfect guy to learn from.”

And yes, you probably guessed it, Joseph Noteboom played in the Les Snead Senior Bowl in January.

There are still a couple sixth-round picks the Rams don’t own, but I presume they’re working on that.

“Yes. Finally, the NFC West champions get a pick in the draft,” @Rodger_Saffold tells the crowd after waking up just in time to reach the podium.

Joseph Noteboom, OT, TCU

Scouting Report:

Has a confounding prospect profile that is typical of most of the offensive linemen coming into the NFL lately- shows signs of good technique, balance, hand usage, bend, etc., but is wildly inconsistent. This pattern has much more to do with the offensive systems and the type of coaching they are receiving, as it doesn’t match what is expected of them in the next level. However, he showed well during the Senior Bowl, and if teams decide that circumstance is the reason that his tape is what it is, he could move into middle, even upper rounds. He has a big frame, but needs to add more quality bulk, but his athleticism and technique have shown enough to get the attention of scouts.

Carter is now gone.

(23) Harold Landry – Edge – Boston College – 6′-3″ 252 lbs. – Played DE in college. Will be a stand up OLB in a 34. A speed to power converter that gets to the QB. Can get stronger against the run.

(32) Arden Key – Edge – LSU – 6′-6″ 238 lbs. – Prototype pass rushing 3-4 edge. Dominated 2016. Injuries and off the field concerns make him next to impossible to rank for a hack like me.

(47) Lorenzo Carter – Edge – Georgia – 6′-5″ 250 lbs. – Warmed up to him after seeing more. Long and fluid. Just tarting to live up to his potential. Can get bigger and stronger. Can set an edge against the run. More athletic and loose framed then some of the other edge defenders.

(54) Dorance Armstrong Jr. – Edge – Kansas – 6′-4″ 246 lbs. – Long, lean with a natural bend and a quick first step to help him get the edge. Will need to get stronger and develop more pass rush moves.

(66) Kemoko Turay- Edge – Rutgers – 6′-5″ 253 lbs. – Didn’t notice him until Senior Bowl. A speed to power edge rusher that makes plays all over. Shoulder injury concerns.

(67) Uchenna Nwosu – Edge – USC – 6′-2″ 251 lbs. – Pass rush specialist that could grow into a full time edge backer. Smooth athlete needs to get stronger.

(75) Josh Sweat – Edge – FSU – 6′-5″ 252 lbs. – Size/speed/ athlete that has tons of upside, so there’s some projection with him. Can set an edge, needs to get more consistant.

(97) Ogbonnia Okoronkwo – Edge ­- Oklahoma – 6′-2″ 253 lbs. – A tad short, but explosive and makes plays. Takes a variety of paths to the QB but is too stiff to dip and rip to get the edge.

(105) Jeff Holland – Edge – Auburn – 6′-1″ 249 lbs. – Another tad short edge rusher that is relentless and tough. Can anchor against the run. Good hand fighter. Stiff, with little bend to get the edge.

Chargers took Nwosu.

Colts took Turay.

So edge as of now:

Demoff on a topic that interests me. Rams draft process. This portion starts at about 8 mins in. Audio posted here: http://theramshuddle.com/topic/les-snead-sean-mcvay-post-round-1-presser/#post-85427

Who controls the draft room? Is there discussion, debate?

KD: Every place is different. Usually GMs are in control . All the debating and arguing for the most part has gone on for the last 2-3 months and your coaches have had their say and the scouts have had their say and you have your board lined up for who you are going to take, you scenario and gameplan [before draft day]. Even now with no 1st round pick they’ve gone through 5 or 6 mock drafts and asked what would you do if this player is available v. this player. You really have those discussions leading up to the draft and then when you get to the draft you pretty much know your plan. The excitement comes from whether you’re going to trade up for a player or if you’re going to trade down. Usually if you’re 5 picks out you put 5 names on the board and say we’re going to take one of these 5 and you know you’re going to get one. The scary part is when you put 5 names on the board 10 picks out and you hope one of those 5 guys is there. About 4 or 5 picks away you usually bring in the coordinator and the position coach and get one last confirmation, so this is the guy you want and everyone’s on board with this. Usually just re-affirming what has been discussed for months. Usually it’s fairly orderly. Every now and then you get the player who falls or a fun trade on the clock but it’s probably more routine than you would ever imagine.
