STL Rams draft grade of Ken Bishop

Check out the pic in the above tweet. I'm not sure what to make of it since it's blurry. It's got some green (assuming positive attribute), yellow and red (assuming negative).

Looks like order they were picked. Don't see the colors . Sams tag says 34 OLB

Looks like order they were picked. Don't see the colors . Do the rams plan on making Sam an OL? It says 34OL, but DT for Bishop and OC for the other pick.

OL = OLB

Click on the pic itself and you can see the entire pic. Looks like green is good and Bishop got it for strength on bench? The rest is too blurry and won't make a prediction

I have no idea what any of this is trying to imply about Bishop

Yeah, sorry about that. You'll need to click on pic itself to see the entire pic. Thanks 1LoyalCowboyFan.

Yellow for Bishop was his Height, Broad Jump, and 3 Cone.

Yeah, the missing B threw me at first. Funny thing is if they saw him as a 34 OLB then why did they draft him? They run a 4-3 similar to the Cowboys using a 3 tech DT. Nickel rusher I guess.

Nickle rushers might be on the field for half the game. To me, he seems like the prototypical SAM LB

3-4 teams didn't even like him because he can't cover a cold. Stiff and slow.

Jerry really characterized him well by saying he was a classic tweener - however, in a pass happy league there is a role for tweeners - something between what you want at DE in a four man front and what you want at OLB in a 3 man. However, you see guys like that all over the NFL -- we had one in Victor Butler. Plenty of space for guys like him in the league.

Top row: Height / Weight / Speed / Arm / Hand / Age in September?
Middle row: 10 Yd / Vertical / Broad Jump / 20 yard shuttle / 3 Cone / Bench
Bottom row: I have little idea.

They liked his weight and bench, were concerned about his height, broad jump, and 3 cone. And didn't like his ... and his ....

There appear to be grades in the lower left corner. Bishop has a C and a B, Rhaney has A,A.

Rams GM and Fisher explained that Sam was a tweener (better suited to 3-4 OLB), but still a pass rusher. And while their base is a 4-3, they still have some formations that will employ gettting as many pass rushers on the field as possible.

The problem is like Jerry mentioned, Sam is your basic "tweener" not a DE or a LB, basically an unrestricted FA that usually doesn't get Drafted (because of his 4.92 40), has a better chance than most but doubt he makes the final roster cuts.

Hoping Bishop makes the club as a DT 1 tech run stuffing double teaming space eater.
