Think of how many GMs are exhausting every Avenue. I’m glad they don’t go to the length that the Rams do to evaluate players

After so much dysfunction in the front offices of the NFCW teams for so long, it's a damn shame that they all seem to mostly have their shit together the same time we finally do too...
Huge fan of Rochell. Honestly, he doesn't give me Jalen Ramsey vibes, though, but Marcus Peters with his ballhawking, off-coverage abilities; he isn't the physical force Ramsey can be. I think he's more physical and less selfish than Peters, though.
Well so far it sounds like Rochell has been roasted soundly in the secondary. And btw I don't mind that. If he's a competitor it will work in his favor down the road.
But it is kind of funny like when I was checking out the midweek practice photos and immediately encountered this...

I was rooting for Obi Melifonwu to be chosen by the Ram's. I had no idea he was on that list with Ramsey and Rochelle. I hope they didn't choose the wrong one of the two. It seems Rochelle has a long ways to go before he's ready. They may need him starting by next season.Well so far it sounds like Rochell has been roasted soundly in the secondary.

All rookies are slow as they are mentally processing what they see and not simply reacting off of what they know. Long was the same way and now he sounds like he's putting it together. Rochell came in a lot more raw than Long as well. But these reps will serve him well going down the road. Now he has film to study and critique his own play. I don't have a problem or concerns at this stage.
CB is probably the most technique-heavy position on the field. From what can be gleaned is that he isn't lost out there just a step off in his reactions. Scott was also, raw coming in and looked slow in his reactions. But he's in his third year and his play has taken a big step up and looks to be a factor in the rotation now and not just a STs player. With most mid and late-round players it takes 2-3 years to make that step. I would expect Rochell to take those bigs steps next year and the year after.
Marcus Peters never had the kind of speed Rochell has. Peters was never disciplined in his play. He was forever glory hunting and you can't have that selfish kind of play on your team. Roby-Coleman bought into that example and it's a big reason he's not a Ram.
