" ESPN's Chris Mortensen on #Rams pick at 33: "I'm gonna throw out a name for you to think about: Brian Quick from Appalachian State."
- Evan Silva
I'd like Quick. He's 6'4 and ran in the 4.4's I believe. He is up there with Randle and the rest of those guys.
He's definitely an athletic guy, big target, and can get behind coverage downfield. There's a lot to like from a pure potential point of view. He did drop a sure TD catch back late in a semi-final playoff game (FCS) that would have put them in the Finals, but, he still can make a lot of big time plays for the team who gets him. I've seen him in person and on TV and I like him.
I like him. However, I think he would still be there at 45.
I been tooting this horn for a while now! Think of Jerry Rice... small school or lower competetion doesn't matter. He is a man amongst boys! I'm not sure at #33 but our #39 pick yes... I could see that!
Agree he will still be there....Quote:

I am not going to panic and suggest the Rams take Quick at #33 when IMO there are 3 better receivers available. I do not know if the Rams feel the same way as me though.Quote:

I wouldn't be against that, but that would be if Hill, Randle, and Jeffery are all gone. Also, I think Martin may fall and Buffalo takes him as opposed to wideout.Quote:

As far as Quick goes, I don't have him in my Top 50 mainly because it is difficult to evaluate a player who played at a second tier level in college. His size, Combine numbers and stats are very similar to Reuben Randle, so if the Rams see something in him, who am I to argue?
That was my point. I believe if he were available, he'd be our pick at 33.Quote:

Brian Quick would be a terrible pick at 33 because you could trade back and get him or take him with 39 or 45. When you have 3 picks in the same round and there's a ton of value on the board you don't need to reach.
Obviously nobody can be sure when he'll go off the board, but smart decision making consists of weighing where players are likely to go and drafting accordingly. I don't think you should draft players at the earliest spot you could conceivably think of them going off the board just because you fell in love with them.Quote:

Randle is a route runner, but if the Rams are going athlete, it should be Hill > Quick...
Makes me think Randle is def the first pick and then the Rams will take a chance on an athletic WR later in the 3rd round
