My good sir with you presenting the case, how can I not?
I guess if he doesn't produce & turns into Brian Quick & or Isahi Pead. Coming from a small school is one thing. Tearing
It up in the Senior Bowl is another thing.
The thing that is cool is that he was a3rd rd. draft choice. The Rams traded back with there 2nd rd pick in Everett. Still being able to get Reynolds in the 4th.
The Rams didn't have a 1st & 3rd, & still managed to get quality that Ram fans will see for years.
This draft is McVays first class , so will see what it will bring. I'm a believer.
If you go & watch the Senior Bowl you'll see a view things that stick out.
1. Copper Kupp can be a return guy if needed. He makes plays & you can call him on a reverse. Which I actually love , because with Austin & Gurley it adds excitement.
2.Reynolds was the 2nd best WR in the Senior Bowl game. Really liked Zay Jones. He also can run a reverse, but had a TD & was good at seating on a 3rd down completion. Has all the tools to be a good WR in the NFL.
3.Gerald Everett was banged up & had to play behind one of the best TE's to come out in years(Bama) . He showed real good blocking skills & very willing. He also sat on a route for a nice completion. He also made a tackle to cause a fumble on a INT. He plays to the whistle.
4. John Johnson was in at FS & showed cover skills , but was not happy with his effort. I know it's the Senior Bowl & not worth the risk to just bring it. He is a smart player & Wade likes him , so I'll give him a pass.
5.DT from Tulane looked average, but was there. He is stout.
6.The FB from VT -Ginger -- He looks the part. Gosh he can do it all. Swiss Knufe is the perfect word for his play. He will cut any defender from point of attack. Can line up solo in the backfield or wide of the line. He can take a draw well & lead block getting to the next level. He has a good feel for the ball & where he is on the field. Has a good turn to make a nice target coming out of the back field.The coaching staff keep him in on the game winning try as well. Shows they trusted him.
I think Cory Harkey needs to go. This guys is the real deal.
Copper Kupp though is a gym rat type. He will be an extension to the coaching staff. These guys are all ballers & think football first.
---I. Pead was a Senior Bowl MVP. I think him beginning from Cinncy played a part of his demise . He feel behind & caught the fumblitis disease . Then maybe drugs ? From hanging with homoies.
Gillyrard had the same type problem learning & catching up with other rookies.
