First-Pick Mock Draft

[RamsFan88]

Whose rankings did you choose?

Arrowhead

 

[Retroram52]

I'd take Robinson over Ramczyk because the latter is a bit smallish and gets mandhandled sometimes and the former is a true left Tackle and much bigger with better feet. I'd then select the McDermott kid from UCLA later in the draft for excellent depth as RamsFan88 outlined.

 

[ANGELAKERAMS]

this is my latest. ignored suggested need positions in the middle of the draft to concentrate on fixing the OL, hence the lower score.

How are you picking BPA when the best available has multiple guys with the same draft day projection?

How are you picking BPA when the best available has multiple guys with the same draft day projection?

well, the same can be said about the actual draft too Shop.

we are always talking about " just take BPA", but who really knows who BPA really is until the guys actually play.

I went BPA just based on how first-pick does their grades for certain players each round, while addressing need positions as well of course. also, Kizer was the only 1st round grade available at that pick, and Adams was the only 2nd day grade available in the 5th.

there obviously were "better" players available at certain points, but you are going to get dinged if you take 4 WR's for instance, just like an actual team would be stupid to take that many in one draft.

you get the picture.

I was just wondering if I was missing a tool on the site that gave more info. Thanks.

no, that would be helpful though.

still trying to figure out the trick in getting a higher score like some of those other guys do.

the top Rams score is like 13000 or something ridiculous like that.

You have to trade your ass off basically. Gain future picks, stuff like that.

Impossible to trade for future picks when the Rams have no 1st or 3rd.

I've traded down and up within the Rams picks and the best I've done is my last posted draft.

I don't worry about the highest scores, as they are far from reality.

I did score 10148 early on, but got a B+ for it lol (2nd best score in that particular mock).

Shop

judging by those picks, it looks like fanspeak is giving the Rams 3rd and 4th round comps, thus allowing the Rams to keep their original 3rd round pick, is that correct?

that would be a HUGE help if that does indeed happen.

still think it would be a good idea for the Rams to do some trading down to gain more picks. that OL is a mess and they are in need of LB's, WR(s) and CB just to name a few. a legit backup RB wouldn't hurt either.

Yep, they're using OverTheCap's projections of a 3rd, 4th, and 6th for the Rams. Can't trade in FanSpeak unless you use the deluxe version.

 

[RamsFan88]

I did the "Manage the Cap" and Mock Draft from Fan Speak

Off-season transactions:
Restructured: Quinn & Barron
Cut: Barnes, Sims, Kendricks, Mason
Re-signed: Reynolds, Cunnigham, Kendricks, Sims, Zuerlein, McDonald, Johnson
FA Signings: OT Andrew Whitworth (2 years), WR Kenny Stills (5 years), OLB Sean Weatherspoon (2 years), OG Kevin Zeitler (5 years)

Draft:
2.37 CB Cordrea Tankersley Clemson
3.69 WR Isaiah Ford Virginia Tech
4.110 C Kyle Fuller Baylor
4.139 DE Daeshon Hall Texas A&M
5.150 WR Chris Godwin Penn State
6.190 DL Kenny Bigelow Jr USC
6.220 LB Riley Bullogh Michigan State
7.226 S Jadar Johnson Clemson

After all of that, there would still be around $13 million in cap space.
