2017 NFL DRAFT THREAD

[RamCub]

The Bengals are just nailing down talent in this draft!

 

[ANGELAKERAMS]

Well, the Rams aren't addressing the C position until late ( if they do at all )

 

[RamCub]

I knew we'd pass on the early centers once they had the guards cross training at center.

 

[SJ76]

The lack of addressing the Oline is pretty concerning.

 

[SJ76]

Especially when you look at some of these players like San Francisco is drafting

 

[ANGELAKERAMS]

The lack of addressing the Oline is pretty concerning.

Especially when you consider that all the WR's and TE's in the world won't help when the QB is lying on his back.

They needed to address the C position and draft an eventual replacement for Whitworth.

 

[ANGELAKERAMS]

It's almost as if they are drafting like this is going to take a few years instead of drafting to be competitive asap.

 

[RamsFan88]

They must not have felt there was a tackle they liked in this draft. Considering how few were selected in the first 3 rounds, that makes sense.

But I bet several go off the board before the Rams pick again

 

[ANGELAKERAMS]

And they gave up the 6th rounder they gained by trading down to move back up.

That made no sense

 

[SJ76]

I didn't know that the Rams are happy with their own tackles on the O line

Hopefully we get a center in the next round

 

[ANGELAKERAMS]

Hopefully we get a center in the next round

We don't have a pick next round.

Have to wait until the 6th

 

[ANGELAKERAMS]

And 4 OL have already gone since the Rams last pick and we still have a whole round still to go before the Rams pick again

You're right about that, ALR. This isn't going to be a one off-season turn around. With how little draft capital we had going in, I didn't think there was a reasonable way to address all the needs we had. Hopefully next year, we can do what the Browns and 49ers have done- load up on talent and acquire future picks.

I knew they couldn't address every need, but I thought they could address the majority.

And if things fell right, they could be competitive this season.

The Bengals are just nailing down talent in this draft!

And a nice prison release program

 

[ANGELAKERAMS]

And they just took 2 WR's and 2 TE's last year.

They don't even bother developing those guys before drafting another TE and 2 more WR's ( after they just signed Woods too ).

How many WR's do the Rams need on their roster?

With this defense we will be competitive, next year compete for the divisional title.

Those are Fisher players, Fisher has shown no awareness for offensive talent. Thisroster will look totally different in a few years.
