#39 Fan Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Hello my fellow Rams supporters! what does your Big board look like, assuming the following players are still available? All of these players likely won’t still be available, but ~85-90% of them could very well be when the Rams turn in their Card. How would you rank them? Give me your top 6, in preference. Mike McGlinchey, OT Notre Dame Rashaan Evans, LB Bama Sam Hubbard, OLB Ohio State will Hernandez, G UTEP Leighton Vander Esch, LB Boise Harold Landry, OLB BC Jaire Alexander, CB Louisville Mike Hughes, CB UCF Donte Jackson, CB LSU Josh Sweat, Edge FSU Courtland Sutton, WR SMU Marcus Davenport, Edge UTSA Ronnie Harrison, S Bama Taven Bryan, DL Florida Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#39 Fan Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 This is assuming Key, Joshua Jackson, and a few others are off the board already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrry32 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Harold Landry and Leighton Vander Esch would be my top two. I haven't watched Davenport yet. If he's good, he'd be in the mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonStark Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Top 6 would be: Vita Vea Harold Landry Rashaan Evans Marcus Davenport Sam Hubbard Da'Ron Payne There's a fairly big gap after Vea and Landry. Davenport scares me because he has a very low floor to go with his insanely high ceiling, but I think the fact that we have Son of Bum would help him a ton.

If he's good, he'd be in the mix. On potential alone Davenport should top this list of players. ESPECIALLY if we are taking that chance in the 20s. I understand fans of teams picking in the 8-14 range being guarded, due to the small school, but he is by far the most talented of this list. If McGlinchey is sitting there for us, that would also be very hard to pass up. He is in no way flashy, but he has all the right tools to be a Top 15 LT in the league for years. And at the very least should be a reliable starter somewhere along the line his entire career. I am extremely intrigued by Vander Esch, he could be a very nice QB of this defense. But as his stock soars, people are really sour on Evans for some reason, i wouldnt hate him as our first pick, not a flashy pick, but a good one. Honestly, looking at the talent that will be available at the 20-40 range, i would love it if the Browns finally get smart. Sign McCarron, draft Barkly/Nelson with 1 & 4, and are looking to move up from 33 to grab Mayfield for their future. That is our ideal scenario, recoup a pick (eyeing up 64 they own from the Eagles) and still pull in some good talent at #33. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatlyner Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 This would be my top 5. I'm hoping Davenport isn't available (and he likely won't be), because I'm conflicted on him, but if he was, it'd be hard to not take the chance on him: Marcus Davenport, Edge UTSA Harold Landry, OLB BC Leighton Vander Esch, LB Boise Jaire Alexander, CB Louisville Rashaan Evans, LB Bama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StLunatic88 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I think Harold Landry is a lot less of a slam dunk pick than he has seemed to have turned into around here in the past week. I worry he is alot of what we were just dealing with in Quinn. Not a complete LB, mostly a pass rush artist at this point (and not a complete one) but not a whole lot in the area of a run defender.

BStanRamFan Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I think we can take ILB off our board for the first round. Albert Breer put out an article that Wade's defenses typically have used late to undrafted ILB's due to them just plugging gaps and playing instinctually. Oversized freak athletes are not necessary to succeed. Wade's defenses spend money on the perimeter so depending on FA, i expect the pick at 23 to be CB or OLB barring someone dropping far unexpectedly.

Dr LBC Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Harold Landry, OLB BC Marcus Davenport, Edge UTSA Leighton Vander Esch, LB Boise <--- but I'm fairly confident he won't be this high on the team's big board or isn't a realistic pick for us in the 1st Rashaan Evans, LB Bama Mike Hughes, CB UCF <--- If I'm going from the list provided, I might actually sub in someone else myself. These are, of course, my preferences. I kind of expect Wade to prefer Davenport over Landry, and that doesn't necessarily concern me because the combination of Wade and Barry is one that, as individual, these guys have a more-than-solid track record of developing edge-rushers who needed to clean-up and add to their technique to harness their athletic gifts... which is Davenport to a "T."
