There are some good LBs out there for us....

[LA_Rams_#29]

Malik Jefferson...

Uchenna Nwosu

Darius Leonard

Shaquiem Griffin

Genard Avery


even in later with a guy like Joel Iyiebunwie

I really think we need to get a couple of LBs out of the 3rd and 4th.... one inside and one edge guy...

 

[Corbin]

While I agree I'm always down for going BPA. Unless that is a position of need is graded similarly.

 

[MachS]

OLB, ILB, OLB, DL, OL, OLB, OL, OLB

Just to make sure we got the edge covered.

 

[BonifayRam]

OLB, ILB, OLB, DL, OL, OLB, OL, OLB

Just to make sure we got the edge covered.

I would have inserted NT somehwere MachS.

With 2/3rds of the NFL teams running 43 defenses & the greater % of college teams running 34 defenses...then add in that many of the 43 Defenses utilize the tweeners @ the DE's posts ....Snead has put himself in a great position in this draft as far as LB'ers....being a big need for this team.

These tweeners or Edge Rushers or 34 OLB'ers are plentiful so enjoy! I really like Kemoko Turay, Rutgers, & hope he is there #87 Rams pick. As for the 4th rd #111 pick Ogbonni a Okoronkwo, Oklahoma or Lorenzo Carter, Georgia would be nice selection. With the #135/#136 selections Jeff Holland, Auburn & Josh Sweat would be excellent choices here.As for the 6th round Kylie Fitts, Utah & Hercules Mata'afa, Washington State would be a good #176 & #183 selections.Joe Ostman, Central Michigan would be a good way to end the Rams draft with the 6th #195 selection.

Same can be said for these 34 D inside/internal LB'ers. 43 D mike LB;ers are not as plentiful as the 34 D insiders. Even though the lines are blurred much more than we see in the above paragraph. Many of the below 34 D inside LB'ers will still be there when the Rams are ready to get started with our four picks in the 6th round.

Josey Jewell, Iowa
Tegray Scales, Indiana
Shaquem Griffin, Central Florida
Micah Kiser, Virginia
Mike McCray, Michigan
Genard Avery, Memphis
Christian Sam, Arizona State
Jack Cichy, Wisconsin

 

[LACHAMP46]

agree...but they'll be going soon...we need to find a way to get into this 3rd round at least once more....and I'd love to get into the late 60's.....

Bonifay you are almost perfect in you evaluation, except for one thing only; at least it's the only assumption O could see that was wrong.Well, you probably made some other mistakes too. Actually maybe you weren't even close at all to being perfect. Anyway back to my point, Lorenzo Carter stock has been soaring, so much so that he may at be gone even before our 87th pick:effemine:

My wife has been keeping that list of my mistakes since 1975....if you are interested ask her, I am sure she can recall each & every one of them. Number #1 on her list when was back in 1981, I sold her original stock 1969 GTO with only 73,000 miles on it large block 400 cubes, with a stock 4 speed Hurst manual transmission on the floor ....its still #1 on her list.:shocking:

Carter is sure to be gone before we are up to bat with #87. If Carter was still on the board into the 3rd round Snead needs to bare in mind That KC picks right before we do & you can mark it down now Carter will not get by KC.

See now you're messing with my head; and it's already messed up enough. You listed Carter as one of those that we could take with the 111th pick, and now you're saying he'll be gone by our 87th pick? Why do you want to play me like that:help:? My brain is too old to do that to.:shocked:

I had a blue 69 GTO. I bought it in 77. Oh that's right, I still have it, and it runs and looks great. But will be selling it to my Son who has a garage, since I can no longer drive.

Yes I did .....I do not like Carter as much as most do. Maybe I can clear my mess up some....I do not hold Carter as high as most do. I like him but I prefer others over him. IMO I think Carter would make a great 4th rd #111 selection but as a #87 pick I am not so happy about that...Carter has some sizable recognition to him that will cause him to leap off the boards early.

I just really like so many other ER's & even some Inside LB'ers better with that #87 pick than Carter. Sorry to be messing with your well seasoned brain. My one working brain cell seizes up on me from time to time.

Great car! I would never sold it but that large block 400 cu engine would not burn unleaded gas. I had to purchase fuel additive to run that big engine. At that time that leaded fuel additive was not easily found. When you turned it off it was just keep running for several minutes. I have no ideal what that car would be worth today.

 

[dieterbrock]

A lot of good LB prospects out there no doubt.
Unfortunately we got a long ways to go before the Rams pick.
Defense dominated that first round other than QB's....

 

[Loyal]

agree...but they'll be going soon...we need to find a way to get into this 3rd round at least once more....and I'd love to get into the late 60's.....

S,o who would you get Champ? (and no, don't look at their 40 times!)

 

[Elmgrovegnome]

I hope Onkoronkwo or Holland are still available. It will be interesting to see if Snead takes either or goes with a different player altogether.

 

[Memento]

I'm hoping that we take Griffin. It would feel like fate, and if they drafted him, I wouldn't care if we took nothing but quarterbacks, punters, kickers, and long-snappers from there.

Just curious here. Do you want Griffin because you think he is hands down the best player the Rams could get, or because of his success despite his missing hand? Is it more about the feel good story?

 

[Merlin]

Yeah I love the second round options at LB across the board. So many nice fits. But I am going to stop looking at it and avoid watching the second round too as a matter of fact, because I don't want to watch them all fly off the board.

Should be a good one available when our pick comes around in round 3. Who it'll be I have no idea, but I think we get a good fit out of it.

Sure would like to see us move up and get Lorenzo Carter. But either way, gonna trust in this staff, I think they know exactly who they want and when.

 

[Memento]

I want him because he's eerily similar to Deion Jones of the Falcons. Sideline-to-sideline speed, off-the-charts instincts, violent hitter, blitzes well at inside linebacker (where I'd expect him to play after Barron leaves) and off the edge (where I expect him to play in his draft year), and has incredible coverage skills.

I'm not going to deny that him having success is also a key part - as it shows his already great intangibles - of whom he is as a player, but his overall talent is this: if he had two hands, he would've heard his name called yesterday.

So yes, I do think he's the best out there.

So jealous of your old cars. I love those old GTOs.

Well the Pontiac blocks were all the same size. Anyway, you just needed some new aluminum heads with hardened valve seats to make it work right.

Honestly, I can’t believe she kept you after selling the goat! Ha ha. You MUST have other redeeming qualities.
