2016 NFL DRAFT THREAD

[UVA_Guy81]

I think we should go with the BPA.....Best Punter Available

With the 15th pick in the 4th round, the Los Angeles Rams select Drew Kaser, P, Texas A&M

 

[RamsFan88]

Andrew Billings would be great. I like Adams at TE. I wonder if Higgins from CSU is available in the sixth? Very good receiver that's under the radar

 

[shopson67]

I don't believe that for a minute shopson. In the NFL draft world, anything is possible.

Chip Kelly offered a TON of picks and players and the Titans didn't budge.

 

[shopson67]

Hack is nothing special, he asked why his play declined the last two seasons he threw his coach under the bus.

Well, he was excelling in O'Brien's pro system but the incoming coach switched to a spread with limited pass protection. Hack got shelled. He still has flaws (footwork and accuracy notably), but there is upside there.

 

[shopson67]

There's actually some solid WR prospects left. Pharoh Cooper, Rashard Higgins, Charone Peake; if the Rams can get one of those 3 in the 4th, and add in either a guy that is sliding (Billings, Perry), a center (Allen, Boehm), or a TE (Adams, Higbee), that's a solid 4th.

C'mon Rams, trade Foles for a day 3 pick that can be used THIS year...

 

[RamCub]

Agree with RamsFan88 and shopson!

Fourth Round:

Higgins/Listenbee/Lawler/Cooper WR's

Adams/Higbee TE's

Canady CB

Siixth Round:

Cajuste/Thomas/Moore/Boehringer WR's

Coble TE

conner cook to the raiders????? wth

 

[Retroram52]

WE have picks 110 and 113. Let's see if they screw these up by trading down or taking a couple of douchebag projects that Snisher are so fond of these days.

 

[Red_Chaos]

Keenum Reynolds is sitting on a coach apparently, i thought he had navy obligations. I would love to see him drafted. But he maybe be better as a running back.



EDIT

GDI jags snag Sheldon Day

 

[SJ76]

Rashard Higgins WR Colorado st in the 4th and Mike Thomas WR Southern Mississippi in the 6th would make me feel better.

 

[Red_Chaos]

:l i got a feeling the rams are gonna select KENTRELL BROTHERS

 

[Retroram52]

We are up next.

Pick is in!

Tyler Higbee the highest rated TE left in the draft

6'6" 249lbs

Overview

Western Kentucky has had a bit of a run at the tight end position the past few years, with Jack Doyle drafted by the Colts in 2013 and Mitchell Henry getting his shot with multiple teams last summer. Higbee could be the best of the trio. The converted receiver added weight to his frame and when given the chance to show his stuff against Marshall as a junior, made six catches for 99 yards and three scores. He built on that in 2015, teaming up with two-time Conference USA MVP to put up some of the best numbers for any tight end in the country (38-563, eight TD) despite missing five-plus games with a knee injury.


Pro Day Results

Bench: 18 reps of 225 pounds
Analysis
Strengths
Former wide receiver with a smooth, wide-open gait when he hits top gear. Has big hands. Had just one drop this season and showed ability to recover the catch when he juggled a throw. Becomes a body catcher who can protect the ball in traffic. Willing to work middle of the field and take hits. Quick and slippery off line of scrimmage and into routes. Very good acceleration out of his breaks and can be a tough cover for safeties. Has the speed and toughness to work all three levels of the field. Can own the Y-seam with his vertical speed and hands. Immediately opens and looks for expedited throws when he's over the top of inside linebackers. Has frame for more muscle mass. Extremely competitive after the catch with speed, elusiveness and decent power. Can carry body tacklers after the catch.
Weaknesses
Still has work to do filling out his frame. Slow to adjust to blocking assignment during flow of play. Not powerful enough yet to handle NFL edge power as inline blocker. Doesn't run feet through block to sustain. Upright into his breaks. Needs route polish for underneath routes. Can get better at creating additional leverage through crisper routes. Suffered through a knee sprain that cost him four games before re-aggravating it in Conference USA Championship Game. Missed his bowl game and expected to miss Senior Bowl because of it.
Draft Projection
Round 4
NFL Comparison
Jordan Cameron
Bottom Line
Knee injury basically took six games away from him this season which could cause him to fly under the radar a little bit. Higbee has exciting athleticism and speed in the open field with the ability to separate from safeties on intermediate routes and threaten the deep middle. Higbee has soft, reliable hands and plus run-after-catch ability to finish plays. While he needs to beef up his frame and blocking ability, there is no doubting his pass catching talent.

Rams pick Tyler Higbee TE WkU



i dont like it

 

[RamsFan88]

He's not a reach at least. 4th round was where he was expected to be picked.

 

[Retroram52]

Tyler Higbee!

 

[RamsFan88]

Hopefully he gets his attitude adjusted. But, sounds like he has great hands and could be a steal.

 

[Vitamike]

Rams on the clock!
