Guy on the Herd show today said Dart doesn't throw effortlessly, he works to throw the ball, and that would hurt him under pressure in the nfl....He used Cam ward as example of throwing with ease...

Makes me think Rams would know this and pass on Dart.

Mike Tanier isn't a fan, think he's been mostly bad against good teams and racked up his stats against weaker ones...

Benjamin Albright said their are medical concerns with Loveland...

Man I know I said RT or CB or move up for TE. But watched more of the LB Camphell and CB Barron, I wouldnt hate the Rams moving up to draft either. Both beasts....

I’d love either of those picks Campbell is going to be an absolute stud. He would be awesome in Shula’s D super versatile and can be elite at an off ball backer position and extremely good off the edge in specific rush packages. Can cover really well, blitz really well and tackles well. I really want the Rams to draft him. Get a TE later.

Mason Taylor is gonna be the guy people are like Damn. Why didn’t we get him?

TMAC can very well fall to the Rams.

Golden could be a guy I see the Rams trading up for.

But this 1st round pick seems like they’ll complete the defense.

They always get great skill guys in the middle rounds.

I agree about Mason Taylor, I think he can be a great TE for this team. And I don't think we'll need to move up for him. That would be my choice. Gunman Helm looks good too if we trade back.

I like Taylor a lot too. Would not be bummed it it’s him or Campbell or Barron. With Barron being my least fave if the 3 as there are other corners that we could possibly get in a trade up or down into the second that are probably as good, especially as a scheme fit for the Rams.

Latest positional odds from DraftKings:

Seems odd to me TE and WR are behind QB. I fully understand CB and T being near the top though. I wonder what they go by.......talk from speculation or analysis?

[ramsman34]

The Rams are a lot smarter than all that. They draft PLAYERS who they think fit the team and schemes. They don’t draft for position per se. They do draft a variety of positions because their rankings take them that way. Other teams affect this as they take players the Rams want before the Rams can. Inevitably, needs get addressed by happenstance more than anything else. - WHEN a team doesn’t draft for need first. Need can be a tie breaker for sure. But, for the most part, the Rams draft the best player available. That’s why they are as good as they are. The other good teams do the same thing. The crap teams? They probably don’t do this as well. So those percentage predictions aren’t relative to anything the Rams actually think and do.

I look at as many players as I can and that ain’t many. But there are some guys I see who just look like they will be good NFL players and sooner rather than later. Those are the guys I want the Rams to draft. That why I don’t see a QB getting picked in the 1st. Unless they have one with a high 2nd round type of grade and there are no other players ranked significantly higher. Some positions are more important than others and that too factors. Just my opinion on how I think the Rams have been doing this for the past 7 years or so.

Ultimately it's money that sets the line. A lot of people must be betting QB. And i imagine that's based on talking heads, mock drafts, etc.

If the numbers change as the draft gets closer (and it's finally getting pretty damn close), that means bettors think they know something, doesn't mean they're right...
