So borderline project. Injured player. No LT.

Pick In, first for the #Rams: With pick 57 overall in the 2021 NFL Draft, the #Rams are selecting WR TuTu Atwell

Twitter is saying there are health concerns for Jenkins. More than just his hip but lots of things.

We just get part of the picture

But Dayo is even more productive than Kwity. 12 sacks vs 11.5 !!!
Super Bowl I tell ya!

Nonsense

Could've taken Teven at 21 and gotten Kwity at 54, probably.

I think the Titans took the guy we wanted... again

Yep feels a lot like our season last year, tried to get cute and botched the situation.

Replacing Costanzo was priority #1 yet we chose to replace Houston and Autry. Ballard tried to get cute this should’ve been a fuckin slam dunk

Nonsense

Yeah, last week Al Breer had indicated that his back was a major injury concern, too

I think Ballard was taking BPA from their board. I was hoping for a tackle but it didn't seem to fall right. I can definitely be a Colts' pessimist but I'm in wait and see mode on these guys. Ballard taking 2 pass rushers in this draft probably speaks to what he thinks about the current situation.

Oh undoubtedly.

Apparently Ballard didn't like the tackles in this class very well. Whoever it is will probably be a big step down from Castanzo. I hope there is a plan

They'll clearly sign Villanueva or Okung now.

Where are you getting 12. I'm only seeing 8:

Since I don't have Dams shiney crystal ball to see into the future I will reserve judgment after this plays out next season.

Dam do you have any hair left or did you pull it all out?:D

Definitely disappointed in not getting a LT in either the draft or early free agency. Not so upset with Paye but Dayo is an injured reach. I know it’s too early to judge but it feels like a wasted pick. Would have rather given up a pick or two to move up a few spots for a position as important as LT.

Jeesh it just keeps getting better LOL

He likely did, but the tackle run happened right in front of him. He just gambled and lost on the depth of the class. Villanueva and Okung were likely his backup plan all along.

That was not fucking happening!

In all fairness Ballard has done quite well in the past so I’ll reserve judgement but I do have serious concerns.

Still have plenty of hair, but starting to doubt Ballard's eye for edges. Hopefully these guys prove me wrong.

I’m reading this and I’m reminded of Ghostbusters

Unpucker your a holes, it will be fine.

They will move Smith. Finding a RT isnt as hard. Hells bells play a TE on the right and run the ball and go RPO or just straight play action. This isnt Armafricken gedon

If this is true it was a suckers bet.

Yeah I hope they do too.

I agree about trading but with us lacking a 3rd round pick and covid concerns it may not have been in the cards.

If Ballard had really liked on of these tackles we would have had him. Dude moves up when he wants to. He plays the long game, using a second on a guy who wont get his explosion back until 2022 or 23. He did say way back that he likes linemen.

Cant be that hard.

You have a pretty hard time with it.

Couldn't agree more. We lose our starting LT to retirement at conveniently the deepest LT draft class in history and fail to replace him. Fucking Turrible.

I dont pretend to be an NFL scout

Actually for as good as Ballard has been at drafting overall, he's been really bad at drafting pass rushers. Basham was a wasted draft pick, Banogu looks to be the same, and Lewis has been average at best when he's not a healthy scratch. Turray looks to be ok if he can stay healthy and stop jumping offsides on 4th down. Hopefully this year's class will buck that trend, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

AND they spent draft capital to get a QB who was not a fossil. See that must be part of the equation. Ballard found his QB early, and now he is playing the hand he has left.

Eh. He didnt have capital to move up in second. He didnt think any were first rounder, ok. He bet one of those guys would be available at 54 and lost. Time to move on.

Nor do I. I enjoy watching film and evaluating players. Don't like it? Don't read it.

Exactly, go sign Villanueva or Okung and attack the position as best you can next year.

Trading our 3rd round pick had nothing to do with him passing on Darrisaw for a project DE. Also, the Browns gave up a 3rd but got Carolina's 4th in the deal to move up 7 spots. I'm sure we could have moved up 2 spots (or more to get Cosmi) despite us not having a 3rd this year.

Thats what you think, but not able to prove. Moving up takes leverage. They spent picks for a new QB which get expensive if he plays well.

Its always easier to spend someone elses money, not having your own cash in the pot

Even if we weren't able to move up (although again based on what the Browns did we should have been able to) we still could have picked Darrisaw and been done with the LT replacement, which is now a fucking mess.

Milton Williams in the top 75 picks. He could be a monster, especially learning from Fletcher Cox.

Fuck it, all Edge draft, go grab Elerson Smith in Round 4.
