Looks to me like the Rams drafted a somewhat similar player to KW and Corum but with a bit more speed.

I think it will be a simple progression: KW finishes out the year as RB1, Corum RB2, and Hunter RB3.

Then KW leaves, Corum bumps up to #1 with Hunter heavily involved as #2.

The best player will play. If Hunter beats them both out, let him be #1. He starts camp at 3…but nothing is certain

My gripe is not about the player, I just wish we had more draft capital before pick 195 as there are players who can possibly help straight away. Not least, an OT LB and nickel

Makes me wonder what the plans for Kyren are. He's entering his final year on the rookie deal. Haven't heard anything new about an extension. They now have Corum and Hunter. Similarly built running backs. Runs tough, Low center of gravity. I imagine he'll be sitting behind Kyren and Corum for a year. Might be the kickoff returner.

I think we know the plans for KW. I'm betting we would have seen an extension before the draft if Kyren was willing to sign for the Rams' number. He's gone after this year. The new committee is in place.

I don't know man...does Sean McVay work this way? Not from what I can tell.

One reason I feel Hunter will be 3rd in line of the RB committee is because both KW and Corum are better than him in pass pro and he's a rookie who needs to learn the pass pro scheme.

This will be a debate where there is no loser. Rams have a stacked RB roster and I'm here for it

Was one of the top 2 (if my memory is right) in explosive runs last year.
They added him for that purpose....I think he unseats Corum as the two pretty quickly.

I wouldn't mind that at all. I'm not the biggest Corum fan and I would like to see his explosive run element added to the offense.

Pass pro is the concern which is why I think they plug him into the system, he takes a year to learn as #3 before bumping up to RB1 or RB2 next year.

Rams roster is quietly elite! Just how we like it. Under the radar until it matters. Love this pick! He can get to the edge quickly so they will have to account for him with all the motion while the tight ends find the soft spot in the middle. Pick your poison!

What did we give up for this?
 
Very happy to add some explosiveness to the RB room.

McVay really, REALLY wanted to get more explosive plays this season.. and you can see the possibilities with the two draft picks and Davante Adams.

They still have some money to add lower-end FAs for some spots on the roster.
