NFL Draft 2015 |OT| With the First Pick in the 2015 NFL Draft
- Thread starter Dutch Gronk
- Start date

The 2nd and 3rd rounds typically are a QB drought mostly for this reason; if there was a potential franchise guy he would probably have been taken already. And these picks are just too high to justify drafting a guy if you aren't fully committed to him as your guy going forward.

Another nice pick by Vikings. Haven't gotten Teddy any help tho.

I wouldn't mind taking a punt on Collins because fuck it, what are the odds that this QB is going amount to anything?
So I guess the plan for the future is Slay at one corner, and Carter/Nevin Lawson at the other, with the third for nickel? None of them still feel like a real shut-down sort of guy, so I guess we're really hoping that Ngata and Ansah keep our D-line rolling hot. The overall quality of the defense still feels pretty dubious to me.

I expect to see a ton of All Go Special next year. Glad to see Big Ben get some weapons.

Linehah on the phone so we're going with someone on offense.
You have Case Keenum! Best midget QB ever. Ask his zealots in Houston. Aka: Miguel
Looked good when Cooks was there, and looked bad once he left. To me it's a wasted pick
But the thing about the Rams, besides OL, they are deep. They need stars and a QB. But they have lots of solid players at most positions

And even Grayson will be holding a clipboard for a few seasons.
Then again, I don't see anyone rushing to hastily spend a high pick on either project. (Well, aside from the Rams... but they're the Rams.)

After 40-50 games of Bradford, no QB can hurt me now.

A better D will get the offense back on the field and help wear down the other team. A deep threat at WR would be nice though, lol.

Surprised we didn't go OT again. The other tackle we wanted was available

There's not any premium backs left. No need to force the pick.
Thanks, I typed in Hermann from a tweet. You have the correct spelling.

They need a (tall) WR for those times they're in the redzone and Ben is running around like a headless chicken only to get sacked.
If Coates is a One trick Pony like Wallace and his one trick is high pointing, he's going to score a ton of touchdowns.
It's the third round. Premium players are long gone at this point.

Seems like the plan. Lawson looked good before the injury.
Dunno about the line. Ansah is good but can he make that next step without Suh wrecking havoc on the line? Ngata will be solid on the line I'm sure, I just can't imagine him doing what Suh did. The DT we got from the Saints seems like a solid pick up, and his stats were pretty similar to Fairley's. But will that be enough? We'll stop the run, no doubt in my mind. But I'm not so sure about pressuring QBs and sacks. And if we don't get pressure, everything else falls apart (see: New England game).
The other issue...who is going to start opposite of Ansah? Jason Jones I assume, but he's another guy I can't help imagine will regress without Suh.

I'm saying the quality of RB available now won't be too different from when we draft next round.
I disagree. Dallas is going to be starting Darren Fuckin' McFadden at this rate.
Good. He's ready for life as a Jet, then.

Matt Jones? Really? Dude sucked at UF

Wingo that birth story was out of place.
I think he's still out there.
My gut tells me that just by the sheer amount of interviews they did for OL they either weren't impressed or they are saving them up for later rounds. I don't know though. Hard to tell. It's a hard read for me this year, and I haven't been able to follow it as closely as I usually do.
They probably figure they're more likely to outscore their opponents next season, rather than shut them down defensively.

And who did you want us to take? Ajayi? Dude might not even get drafted at all. We'll take sometime like Langford or Davis next round and see who wins the starting job in camp.
Can our defence play both ways?

Yeah but you have to remember that:
A) The Rams are garbage
B) We don't have the bonus of playing in a shit-tier division
C) We're not very good at cheating
D) Fuck the Pats
This all checks out.
