Re: Jordan Shipley. Underrated?
i think he`ll end up going 4th round at the latest..but if he`s there id like the Rams to pick him up..he`s a good play maker..who can get plenty of YAC and get on the end of deep balls too.
i like the kid a lot. -
Re: Jordan Shipley. Underrated?
He is underated, but he is a slower bigger version of Wes Welker. He will have a productive NFL career as a slot. I think his upside is the second roundComment

Re: Jordan Shipley. Underrated?
Slower? The guy blows by people. I don't know what his 40 time is but I go to every home game and there hasn't been one DB run stride for stride with him.Comment

Re: Jordan Shipley. Underrated?
Jordan shipley was a top 100-yard dash guy in TEXAS. He's lightning.
I really hope the rams can nab him, I dont care if we reach to the second round.Comment

Lets get right to it:
1. Cordarrelle Patterson Tenn 6'3" 205 --- He is still number one on my list because of his combo of speed, size, and explosion. Sure we all wish he had more reps at the DI level but in this class he is the best weapon in a league that basis its success on weapons. Projection Top 20 pick
2. Keenan Allen Cal 6'3" 220 -- Keenan Allen may be the steal of the draft. I think right now he may even be the Rams #1 target due to the fact that Patterson and/or Austin may be gone. He plays a style combo of Victor Cruz and Reggie Wayne and could line up anywhere. Projection Round 1
3. Tavon Austin Wvirg 5'9" 175 -- He is still a legit weapon for any team that will commit to using him and changing some plays. If we were strictly ranking him as a WR, he would not be in my Top 10 WRs for this class. I still feel his greatest assest is from the backfield and I think he may be a higher ranked RB than WR, but either way a good coach can get production out of him. I think he is worth a Round 2 selection or should be in the 28-52 range of picks, but weapons are what runs the NFL, so I am sure he will be gone quickly. Projection Top 20 pick
4. Justin Hunter Tenn 6'4" 200 -- I had guys like T.Williams, R.Woods, D. Hopkins, but after watching Hunter over an over I just can't pass him up. I think he will be a Round 1 pick and could be a WR with the greatest upside. He has speed to impact quickly and room to grown into touchdown machine. Projection Round 1
5. Aaron Dobson Marsh 6'3" 203 -- Every year I have one guy that I think is way better than the 'public' ranks. I personally think Dobson is potentially the best WR in this draft due to doing everything well. He also has that something extra about him. I think if he can show the change of direction to succeed he may become a immediate starter and impact games for years. I think a tough team like Steelers, Packers, Seahawks would really like this guy, but again maybe I am over-touting him. He would be an early Round 2 pick for me but his real Projection Round 2-3 turn.
6. DeAndre Hopkins Clemson 6'1" 200 --Hopkins is a guy that sometimes looks like a sure Round 1 guy, then the next day looks like a Round 4 guy. He scares me because of the Clemson team inflating his numbers but his pure strength catching the ball is a sure talent. In a draft full of guy that play with speed, he may be a welcomed change catching the ball between the hashes and at its high point versus weaker Dbs. Could be a Round 1 sneaky entry but his real Projection Top 50.
7. Cobi Hamilton Ark 6'2" 199 --Here is the second guy that seems to be over-looked. Granted I am not a pro-scout and do not have access to each player personally, but I love Cobi Hamilton's talents. This guy could really fly and still has skill to go along...-04-19-2013, 02:24 PM -
Okay one trade here. I'm arbitrarily picking KC as the team we trade with. They need a DT, Haloti Ngata is on the board, and they trade us a first, third, and some pick next year to move up. Since my first pick is Carpenter, who is expected to go somewhere in the 20s, it could work just as well if we traded to any of a handful of teams in the teens or early twenties.
First Round (20th overall from KC): Bobby Carpenter, OLB Ohio State - We get a big SLB (6'3" 254) who plays the run well, excels at the blitz, and makes plays all over the field. Pass coverage is considered to be one of his strengths. He has also lined up with his hand down at DE before to blitz. He does need to work on getting off blocks faster, and he gets criticized for sometimes overpursuing. He also does not have the top end speed of Manny Lawson or Ernie Sims, but overall he has great physical tools and is a safe bet because he has already demonstrated the abilities we need at the position. To put it another way, some other first round linebackers may (or may not) have higher ceilings than he does, but I'd say he has a higher floor.
Second Round (46th): Anthony Fasano, TE Notre Dame- I wanted to go Pope or Lewis on this pick, but I convinced myself they'd be gone by this point. Of the top five, Fasano is the most complete tight end because of his blocking abilities. He has pretty good size, good but not great speed, and he has good hands. The knock on him, is that he isn't the incredible specimen that some of these other guys are. He still posted a very respectable 40 and was one of the more productive pass-catching tight ends last season. Given the abundance of receiving weapons in our offense, I think the TE's blocking ability ought to be a real consideration, as he could help with the protection and running game along with upgrading our receiving options.
Third Round (77th): Maurice Jones-Drew, RB/KR/PR UCLA - This guy put up a 28.5 yard average on punt returns. If it was much higher, the other team might as well not bother kicking. What he lacks in size, he makes up for in speed, quickness, change of direction skills, and power. He's only 5'8" but weighs 207, so he has some muscle packed on there. The Fisher signing reduces his value to us as a third down back, but it has to be tempting to take a player with this kind of ability. Most of the recent mocks I have seen have him going just a couple picks after this, but he could go earlier.
Third Round (85th from KC): Orien Harris, DT Miami - He's a solid run-stuffer with enough quickness he could develop into a decent pass rusher as well. He has had some injury issues and needs to be more consistent, but he will provide good depth to the line. Miami tends to churn out some decent NFL players. One thing I like about him is his versatility. If he can develop his pass rushing skills a bit, he would be an excellent...-04-16-2006, 12:00 AM -
Let's throw something together:
Round 2 - Chris Godwin, WR, Penn State: Godwin's my guy. He's WR4 on my board and can do it all. Good speed, one of the best hands in the class, creates separation on his routes, has the best contested catch ability of any wideout in this draft, and is young too. He's going to be a heck of a pro WR.
Round 3 - Tim Williams, OLB, Alabama: This would be a dream scenario for the Rams. Williams is an elite pass rusher right out of the gate and is actually good versus the run too. He's a top 10/15 talent in this class no doubt. The catch? Well, he got arrested for having a gun as well as weed. Also, he's admitted to failing multiple drug tests in college even though he never got caught. Wiliams is certainly a risk, and in a draft where we don't have a 1st rounder, it's tough to take this chance, but for a team starved for pass rushing help at OLB, Williams is the perfect solution. Specifically if he can stay clean.
Round 4 - Eddie Jackson, FS, Alabama: Here's the second member of the crimson tide. Jackson was being talked about as a first round prospect all year, and for whatever reason he's slipped out of it ever since breaking his leg in season. He missed the rest of the year, and he's even had an ACL tear years ago. Now, Jackson is super talented. He's a rangy FS who can play centerfield and has a nose for breaking on the ball and finding it. Not only that, he's good at scoring TD's, and he can play nickel CB as well as he's done that before.
Round 4 - Jordan Leggett, TE, Clemson: I'm not sure if Leggett will be available here, but it'd be a dream if he was. He's a terrific athlete who needs to learn how to block much better. Outside of that, he's an athletic guy who can stretch the seams very effectively and can be a valuable receiving weapon right out of the gate for Goff and the Rams. Higbee and Leggett can form a good duo at TE.
Round 5 - Ejuan Price, OLB, Pitt: Price will probably slide this far because he's an older prospect with some injury history as well, but man he's a great player. He can play the run and pass effectively. He's a very small player at 5'11, and many compare him to Elvis Dumervil for that exact reason, but Price is a terrific player who gives us more help at OLB and can provide an impact from day 1.-04-14-2017, 01:56 PM -
Personally, I think we need to find 2 staring offensive lineman in free agency. There are plenty of options, but with a bunch of cap space and the ability to create even more, I think we will find 2 starters, and most likely both will be Guards.
Also, this draft is with the expected compensatory selections (3rd for Janoris Jenkins, 4th for Rodney McLeod, and 6th for Nick Fairley).
Now, let's jump into the draft.
2nd round - David Njoku, TE, Miami: Njoku is a versatile weapon who can line up anywhere on the field. He's got great hands, and is a matchup nightmare. He can be schemed plays or just let lineup and simply let him work. He's got amazing speed and his movement skills are one of the best in the draft. He's a huge play threat and would offer Goff an amazing playmaker and a safety blanket to grow with.
3rd round - Pat Elflein, C, OSU: Elflein is my top C in this class and he is going to be a good one. He has plenty of leverage skills and can turn his defenders out routinely. He isn't the strongest or biggest guy, but he is always in good position and has absolutely no trouble working to the 2nd level of the defense. He is a day 1 starter and will be our future for many years.
4th round - Chris Godwin, WR, Penn State: Godwin is a WR who will win with route running and good hands. He is a day 1 starter IMO and can play anywhere on the field, but looks to prefer the outside. He has good route running ability and can be great with practice. He is able to work all areas of the field and will prove to be one of the better receivers in this class.
4th round - Corn Elder, CB, Miami: Elder is going to drop a bit because of his lack of size and length, but he is a gamer. He's a guy that has good instincts and excellent coverage ability. He can break on a ball and make a play, but more than anything he is also a good tackler. I think he's likely to play slot in the NFL, but he's great insurance if we lose Lamarcus Joyner or incase of injury. Elder is great value at this spot.
5th round - Jamaal Williams, RB, BYU: I think we likely need to add a RB somewhere in the draft, and Williams is the guy at this spot. He's a big guy at 6'1+ and 220+ lbs, and it shows. He's strong, physical, and will finish runs. His ability to juke and make people miss is also good, and his ability to do a little bit of everything will provide Gurley a great backup. Especially if we lose Reynolds and Benny in FA.
6th round - Darreus Rogers, WR, USC: Rogers will be the 2nd WR addition in this draft. He is a longer guy with a big body who will provide an outside presence at receiver. He's got the length and skill to play in the NFL, and his routes can be clean. His hands are a plus, and I think at this point it's worth taking a shot on the 23 year old.
6th round - Ben Bouleware, LB, Clemson: Bouleware was a very good college LB, but won't be highly regarded in the NFL...-01-11-2017, 12:57 PM -
