Dr LBC Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 We'll see if he does it, but I could see Les setting up for the kind of strategy I might have used myself in a draft situation like this where COVID made it rough to get proper medicals on guys. Get a buttload of 7th round picks and just blanket grab the injury-question guys and hope that at least 1 pans out - because if it happens you're getting tremendous value (Day 2 talent in the 7th round).

Boboso20 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 I’d love Dylan Moses or Marvin Wilson here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatlyner Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 I like the Jacob Harris pick He's actually a freak of nature: Jacob Harris - WR HEIGHT: 6’ 5” WEIGHT: 219 pounds 40 YD DASH: 4.39 seconds BENCH PRESS: 15 reps WINGSPAN: 81 1/4” VERTICAL JUMP: 40.5” BROAD JUMP: 11’ 1” 3 CONE DRILL: 6.51 seconds 20 YD SHUTTLE: 4.28 seconds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NVRamsFan Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 I'm really baffled by this draft. Hope for the best but we lost our starting center and have done absolutely nothing to replace him or upgrade over Brian Allen who was terrible when he started before getting hurt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if there's still a chance at signing Austin Reiter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrry32 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 We're doing better today. Rochell, Brown, and Harris are all boom/bust picks who have massive upside. Rochell and Brown in particular are intriguing. Both have the upside to be quality starters. Rochell needs to continue to develop his technical skills, as his athletic gifts are off the charts (and he's feisty). Brown needs to stop being lazy. He has the traits to be a game-changer inside if he's willing to play hard and work on his game. Harris is a guy who tested out of this galaxy and could be an oversized deep threat WR, but his main value will be as a core special teamer imo. There's also some talk he could bulk up and be an athletic TE. Either ways, he has a ton of athletic upside, but even if he doesn't develop into an offensive weapon, he should make his mark on special teams. I don't know much about Earnest Brown. They must see him as a 3-4 DL pass rush specialist. I wish we'd have drafted Quincy Roche there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect we're kicking Corbett inside and starting Evans, Anchrum, or Brewer at OG. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope so but when asked about the center all McVay mentioned was Allen and Shelton. Not very encouraging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope they're not repeating the Brian Allen mistake again. That would be insane hubris. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
