Draft Day: Round 2-3

[icefreeze57]

Those OGs in the second round won't become OTs in the future though.

You're right, but they can become pro-bowl guards... and that's what we acutely needed... what's to say Robinson gets placed at OG, actually learns it and becomes good (like we all hope) and then instead of moving him in three years, draft another OT. If Robinson is going to be an OG, then what's the difference?

Barksdale is a FA in 2015. If he has another good year, he might get Saffold money in which case Robinson would move to RT. Im guessing thats the plan

Barksdale could also regress, get hurt, etc. Every team needs 3 OTs

I dont think the Rams should be looking at G. Too many needs

My OG draft pick is a little sarcastic, don't get me wrong.

But why can't we draft the elite OT next draft?? Like I understand the long term plan that will actually play RT for us... (which still RT shouldn't be picked in the top 5) but maybe he becomes LT in 5 seasons, who knows? It just seems that we could've filled a need (or traded back and still drafted Donald and then draft a safety) and then this round, grab one of the OGs that can be a 10 year OG (because theres many good inside guys left) make the line better (which is the goal of Robinson) and could've spent the #2overall better

 

[icefreeze57]

Anyone up for round 2 & 3 projections?

Anyone up for round 2 & 3 projections?

What I would like to see:

LaMarcus Joyner
Trevor Reilly/Jordan Tripp

What they will do:

G
CB/S

They were going to move back into the 1st for Martin, so clearly their focus is still on the OL.

 

[Vitamike]

To play where? Long/Robinson/Wells/Saffold/Barksdale

if you get lucky at guard that can road grade, you put him in Robinson's spot and move Robinson to RT. Barksdale is slotted as a quality backup an no more IMO.

 

[icefreeze57]

I rather get the better OG and then a S in round 3, the top Safeties are off, the next few have equal chance at being good but I rather grab the next tier S later and the top tier G now. Maybe we'll trade out!

 

[Vitamike]

The Houston Texans are now on the clock!

When you consider Jackie Slater was a 3rd rounder, that's a tough position to agree with.

 

[Retroram52]

Yea Vita. I am puzzled by some of these all or nothing statements coming from some of the posters indicating a myopic thinking that simply is not reality. Normally, OG's don't move out to tackle as readily as the reverse but that doesn't mean you don't take an OG if presented with an exceptional talent. As you indicated with the Jackie Slater example, we've have several examples who have moved from their college position and so have other teams.

 

[Retroram52]

'Filo goes first to the Texans. Jackson and Yankey are still available.

 

[Vitamike]

Well there goes my Bruin I had slated at 44!

Damn!

 

[icefreeze57]

'Filo goes first.

Day one 10 year starter at OG - great pick.

Wish we decided to grab someone like him is round instead of #2overall

Hell Jakie Slater played three years, primarily on ST's for his first three years before starting for the Rams at OT!

Ice, my man, don't dwell, what's done is done.

Trust me though, you will be hollering Robinson's name when he pulls his block and we get into the endzone from inside the ten yard line by smashing the LB/CB or S. It will happen, mark my words!

 

[icefreeze57]

Lawrence is a good pick for Cowboys - Hope we can grab one the remaining OLBs, hopefully we can get Van Noy in round 3. Think he can start and become a good player for us.

Oh yeah, I don't hold this against Robinson AT ALL! Not his fault he got picked 2nd, if he becomes a good player and impacts our line, can't fault him at all. But depending on how this all plays out I will probably count this against the FO.

I hope Robinson pankcakes all those Seahawk D-lineman, I will never root against our guy.

 

[Vitamike]

On another note, have y'all been hearing about the 'fearsome foursome' riding again?

Long / Donald / Langford / Quinn!

Imagine if we can keep these dudes all together for the long run!

Oh yeah, I'm pumped, I wanted to trade back and grab Donald, I thought he was an unrealistic choice at 13 (didn't think we'd consider and only that about 1/4 chance for him to be there, but we lucked out). Very hard to complain about that selection!
