Yeah IMO he fits McVay's QB profile. Good arm, pocket passer with good mobility, though not an RPO QB. He's a leader and would benefit greatly from a year of mentorship with Stafford.
Outside of the first round I like Howard a lot and taking it from a possible McVay perspective he might think so as well. I admit I might have been too hasty in my initial judgement of Howard. Yeah he's a bit of a project but it's polish not so much as developmental. Give him a year to work out the kinks in his game and he could be a very good QB.
Like I've said about other QBs, it's more about scheme fit for the Ram's offense. Howard is a fit for what it is now and where McVay might want to take it. His mobility adds a huge dimension that is lacking in Stafford. He also has demonstrated leadership a huge part of the Ram's culture.
The Rams need to lock down the QB position because they now have the first round picks to grab a first round LT next year which will be a contract year for Jackson. It would give them contract control over a position that can be expensive for 5 years.
