Cam Newton: Cam Newton is an unbelievable athlete. You have to have the football IQ to make it work.

Ryan Mallett: I'd be very concerned about taking him in the first round.

Blaine Gabbert: He reminds me of a Bradford, he reminds me of a Matt Ryan.

Jake Locker: That's a really talented kid who has first round potential. He's struggled in the pocket. People are writing him off. I'm not.

Colin Kaepernick: Has a huge arm, is a great athlete, and has a huge frame...He's going to rise a bit. Probably a second round-type guy. There’s just so much work that has to be done with that young man.

Tyrod Taylor: The perception is that he can only be a scrambling quarterback. I think that’s a bit unfair to the kid.

Jacquizz Rodgers: I don't think there's any way he gets out of the 2nd rd. Playmaker with the ability to take it to the house.

Patrick Peterson: He's got a little bit of stiffness to him. Most comfortable in press-man (but) might be best served at safety.

Patrick Peterson: I'm anxious to see what Patrick Peterson looks like. I'm amazed to see that he returns punts for a guy his size.

A.J. Green: This is a guy that fits every offense. A.J. Green is the real deal as a top 10 type of receiver. And I'm not big on WRs in the top 10.

Jon Baldwin: He's an athletic freak. I think he's probably going to put on a show at the combine.

Da'Quan Bowers and his boom or bust potential: You better make sure you're getting what you hope you're getting.

Robert Quinn: I think as this draft moves closer, you're gonna see his name higher and higher. Just ordered a bunch more tape.

Von Miller: Prototype 34 rush linebacker. Amazing ability to bend his body and get to the QB. Tough enough to overcome (size limitations).



Other notes of note:
- He sees Patrick Peterson as a safety later in his NFL career.

- Of everyone he talked about, Mayock seemed the most excited about Jacquizz Rodgers and Patrick Peterson.

- Ricky Stanzi fits Mike Shanahan's scheme.

- He compared Titus Young to DeSean Jackson

- Gabe Carimi doesn't have the speed to play left tackle but could be an All Pro right tackle.

- If Julio Jones is there with the 14th pick, the Rams should run to the podium.

- Considers Brandon Harris a second- or third-round pick.

- He raved about Torrey Smith's vertical route running ability.
 
Not sure how Gabbert can be comparted to Matt Ryan and Sam Bradford.

Speaking of Sam Bradford, if he does get Julio Jones or another top WR...Look out for that offense!!

yep, they will be very very dangerous as a whole team
 
Steven Jackson is a solid vet for the running game.

Amendola is the prototype slot receiver.( hate that the Boys didnt keep him).

They had a couple guys come out of nowhere in the receiving core, but give Bradford a Julio Jones or to a greater extent......A.J. Green!!

Rams should see what it takes to trade up for Green
 
Gabbert is no Bradford/Ryan.

Really wish Gabe would be there in the second round but that may be a stretch.
 
Ricky Stanzi fits Mike Shanahan's scheme.


please draft him Shanny

we can count on Ints from him

all you need is a littte pressure on him he goes to pieces

Sorry dude, but the only thing a WR that averages 8.1 yds a catch is the prototype of is a guy who needs to be replaced.

Danny wouldn't see the field in Dallas.

Because we have better WR's like Roy Williams, Manny Johnson, Sam Hurd and Jesse Holley who are clutch on 3rd down...oh wait.

What are we waiting on, exactly?

Amendola is nowhere near as good as Roy Williams
 
How did Danny friggin Amendola take over a promising thread?


Carimi continues to be maybe the most interesting name for us. He should probably go around 24-28. Can we get him?


Another part of me feels like we should take our two biggest weaknesses and fill them in free agency w/ Huff and Clabo. Even if it takes a while those guys will be free agents until theres a CBA done

Wou can disagree, but you'd be incredibly wrong

We can all hate on the guy (RW), he deserves alot of it. But Amendola is nowhere near as good as Roy Williams is. If cap wasnt a factor, the Rams would fall all over themselves to trade him straight up for RW. Almost anybody would.

Amendola is a career 4/5 WR at best. His yds per recption numbers resemble a FB. Which is pathetic.

Hurd is a far better special team player than Amendola is a WR.

If Hurd got Amendola's reps, he would post far better numbers. At least he can run after catch some.

Agree on every point. You need to trade with NE to get Carimi bottom of the first. Alot of people dont want to hear this but I'd look hard at Atogwe and Sanders (incentive laden short contract only). If they stay at 9 it has to be defense IMO.

Ive been saying we can back try and get back into the 1st round. Only because I think PP/Quinn can be huge difference makers on defense and want one of them as well.


If those 2 are gone I am cool w/ a trade down and something like: 1.Carimi 2.Wisnewski 2. Heyward 3.Deunta Williams
