WorldWide ramsManu Harari  I have been cracking my head, as much of many of you had, for the past couple of months, and while we have glaring immediate needs, this team is still a contender, draft a couple of NFL ready players, and make this transition as smooth as it could be. Now... I have a couple of rules for my mock First, cover the needs: What is the draft for if not this?! Sure, rebuilding teams more often than not go BPA as many times as they can, but there is a reason they are in a rebuilding face. Second, no trades allowed: Why you may ask? Simple, they are so unpredictable that nobody ever will predict one correctly, values can go from crazy high to absurdly low, so, for this test, we will keep it simple, and roll as we are, but with Les Snead under command, the Rams should move all over the place on this 3 day draft. First Round |
 | HIS UNUSUAL SIZE AT 6’4" WILL BE TEMPTING FOR MANY, BUT I THINK THAT HIS FLAWS CAN CAUSE HIM TO FALL THIS LOW. HE IS A VERY GOOD PRESS COVER CORNER THAT MAKES UP HIS “LACK OF SPEED” (4.64 40 TIME) WITH HIS AGGRESSION AND BALL SKILLS, HIS LARGE ARMS AND FRAME COULD BE VERY USEFUL AT THE BEGINNING OF HIS CAREER, WHILE HE STILL LEARNS HOW TO ADJUST AND PLAY MORE ZONE COVERAGE. REMEMBER, RICHARD SHERMAN WAS LABELED AS BIG BUT SLOW AND DROPPED UNTIL THE 5TH ROUND, HE WAS AN INCH SHORTER THAN WILLIAMS, AND WE KNOW THE OUTCOME OF HIS CAREER, LET THEM SLEEP, LET US WIN |
third round
#99 CONNOR MCGOVERN OG PENN STATE
 | AGAIN, A TWO POSITION STARTER IN COLLEGE (GUARD/CENTER), HE HAS ADEQUATE SIZE FOR THE NFL AND IS A MAULER IN THE RUN GAME, BUT HAS MANY FLAWS THAT CAN BE ADDRESSED, ESPECIALLY COACHED BY A COAH SUCH AS AARON KROMER. I BELEIVE THE RAMS CAN DRAFT HIM, AND IF THEY LIKE EITHER NOTEBOOM OR ALLEN BETTER, THEY CAN GROOM HIM OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS TO BE A NFL STARTING CALIBER INTERIOR OFFENSIVE LINEMAN. |
FOURTH ROUND
#133 DAVID MONTGOMERY RB IOWA STATE
 | I’M TAKING A FLYER HERE, AS I CURRENTLY THINK HE IS THE BEST, MOST COMPLETE RUNNING BACK IN THE DRAFT, BUT I’VE NOT SEEN HIM RANKED IN THE TOP 5 OF HIS POSITION ON MANY BOARDS. IF HE IS HERE AT THIS POINT, I WOULDN’T THINK TWICE IN PULLING THE PLUG. HE IS A TRUE THREE DOWN BACK, AS HE CAN RUN, MONTGOMERY CAN CATCH AND HE CAN BLOCK, BUT HIS LACK OF EXPLOSION IN THE OPEN FIELD CAN LURE SOME TEAMS AWAY FROM HIM. |
FIFTH ROUND
#169 DAYLON MACK DT TEXAS A&M
 | THERE ARE FEW TRUE NOSE TACKLES THAT I’VE SEEN THAT HAS THE FIRST STEP THAT MACK HAV., DON’T READ MUCH INTO HIS EARLY CAREER STATS; HE WAS PLAYING IN A SYSTEM THAT DIDN’T SUIT HIS GAME. HOWEVER, IN THE FINAL SEASON OF HIS COLLEGIATE CAREER, HE EXPLODED AND SHOWED THE WORLD THE BEAST HE CAN TRULY BECOME. HE IS A TRUE RUN STOPPER THAT NEEDS TO FINESSE HIS PASS RUSHING MOVES. PAIR HIM UP WITH AARON DONALD AND THEY WILL BE A NIGHTMARE DUO EVEN FOR THE BEST CENTER-GUARD DUOS IN THE LEAGUE; SPEED WOULD BE UNSTOPPABLE. |
SIXTH ROUND
203.- BEN BURR-KIRVEN LB WASHINGTON
 | I KNOW YOU WILL BASH ME FOR WHAT I’M ABOUT TO SAY, BUT KIRVEN IS THE BEST OFF BALL LB IN THIS CLASS. HIS LACK OF SIZE WILL MAKE HIM FALL DEEP. BUT HE REALLY MAKES UP HIS LACK OF SIZE WITH HIS VISION AND SPEED, THERE IS A REASON HE WAS THE NATIONS LEADING TACKLER, PLUS, HE PLAYED WITH COREY LITTLETON IN 2016, THE CHEMISTRY SURE WOULD HELP. BEST OFF-BALL LB IN THE CLASS GUYS |
SEVENTH ROUND
251.- LUKAS DENIS S BOSTON COLLEGE
 | TALK ABOUT CHEMISTRY, HIS FORMER TEAMMATE COULD BE HIS NEW ONE (JOHN JOHNSON III). A FORMER CORNER THAT TRANSITIONED WELL WITH BC’S COACHING STAFF MOVED HIM TO CORNER WITH HIS SMOOTHNESS AND ATHLETIC ABILITY. HE CAN BE A SINGLE HIGH SAFETY WHILE JOHNSON CRAWLS INTO THE BOX, AND HE CAN HOLD THAT FS POSITION IN A COUPLE OF GROOMING YEARS WITH PEACE. AS WE WILL BE FINE WITH NEW ARRIVAL ERIC WEDDLE, WHO'S BEEN TOUTED AS AN EXCELLENT TEAMMATE AND MENTOR, PERFECT FIT? HECK YEAH! |
