Kentucky Wildcats EDGE Josh Allen, Michigan Wolverines EDGE Rashan Gary and Mississippi St. Bulldogs EDGE Montez Sweat are all gone in the top 10. Florida State Seminoles EDGE Brian Burns goes at #19 to the Tennessee Titans and Clemson Tigers DE Clelin Ferrell heads to the Raiders at #24.Popular Rams mock pick N.C. State Wolfpack OL Garrett Bradbury goes to the Kansas City Chiefs at #29. Miss. St. S Johnathan Abram, himself a popular option for the Rams in mocks, comes off a pick later just as the Rams are on the clock.So Reuter has the Rams going an unconventional route:Hard to have issue here. Williams has been long thought of to be out of the Rams’ range and, as Reuter notes, our CB1 and CB2 are both in contract years this season. Oh and the CB3 in CB Troy Hill. Oh and the CB4, CB Sam Shields, is no longer a Ram. Oh and the CB5, CB Dominique Hatfield, is also in a contract year. Oh and the CB6, Kevin Peterson, is also in a contract year.The only outside cornerback under contract after this year is the seventh cornerback on the depth chart, CB Darious Williams.So no issue with a prospect like Greedy being adding five years of consistency to the position depth chart. I would still anticipate (and advocate) a trade down Los Angeles Rams Jerseys Stitched , but in terms of the pick itself it’s hard not to like.If you’re looking at a short drop into the 2nd, it’s easy to like Reuter’s options for the Rams. Of the seven picks from #35-41, six of them would make sense in Miss St. DT Jeffery Simmons, Delaware Blue Hens S Nasir Adderley, Texas A&M Aggies C Erik McCoy, Florida S Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, Maryland Terrapins S Darnell Savage, Jr., and Louisiana Tech Bulldogs EDGE Jaylon Ferguson. With roster gaps on the offensive line and everywhere on defense, plenty of picks thereafter look suitable should the Rams find their way into the back 2⁄3 of the second somehow. Of course, the same holds for round 3 until we get to the Rams at #94:I’m not a huge fan of Keke’s, but we’re nearly at the 100th pick so prospects at this point are going to have some significant flaws. Position-wise, Reuter doesn’t even mention the likelihood of DL Michael Brockers playing his final season as a Ram.Next up:Even if Noteboom and Allen can supplant their predecessors, someone has to then fill Noteboom and Allen’s 2018 backup roles. Plus, Jordan could still challenge for time this year even with Noteboom and Allen having a leg up with a year of experience with the Rams’ coaching staff.One pick of note here in the third? Oregon Ducks EDGE Jalen Jelks at #102 to the Baltimore Ravens. I remember seeing Jelks in first-round mocks! God bless mocks.Round 4. So many great prospects with huge potential ceilings and great value picks. Iowa St. Cyclones RB David Montgomery to the Buffalo Bills at #112 is pretty much a perfect selection. USC Trojans RT Chuma Edoga is a sneaky good option #116 for the Miami Dolphins. Stanford Cardinal RB Bryce Love at #120 would’ve gotten you mocked online a year ago. Old Dominion Monarchs EDGE Oshane Ximines was a first-round option a month ago. Oklahoma OL Bobby Evans at #132 is baffling to me. Man, this fourth round looks amazing!As for the Rams, they wrap up round 4 with:This might be one of the few options here I don’t like. That’s largely due to my belief that Malcolm Brown should be fine as a backup to Gurley and that I anticipate Gurley to be just as healthy to start 2019 as he was a year ago. And if Brown’s healthy (and there’s no reason to plan on him not being as much), spending an early Day 3 pick on running back just doesn’t seem appropriate for a team with the highest-paid running back in the NFL that just took a running back in the draft a year ago (Turf Show Radio whispers of John Kellyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy).Overall David Long T-Shirts Jersey , it’s a fine four-round class that’s not too heavy on immediate roster gaps (smart!) while waiting for prospect skill growth issues until Day 3 (also smart!).I don’t like the lack of a trade, but we can’t ask for everything.What say you, Rams fans? The Arizona Cardinals' offense has been dreadful by any measure and Sam Bradford knows that, as the quarterback, he takes the lion's share of the blame."I think as a quarterback, you always take ownership of the offense," Bradford said after practice Wednesday. "To be honest, I don't really pay attention to what's being said outside this building. I just know however I do it, I've got to figure out a way to get this offense going. Find ways to make plays, find ways to get us going, and that's how I've tried to approach it this week."The offensive statistics of the winless Cardinals through two games are the worst in the NFL.The team has scored one touchdown, a short run by David Johnson in the season-opening 24-6 home loss to Washington. Last week, in a 34-0 drubbing by the Rams in Los Angeles, Bradford completed 17 of 27 passes but for only 90 yards. Through his first two games as Arizona's quarterback, he has completed 37 of 61 for 243 yards with no TDs and two interceptions. That's a passer rating of 55.6.The Cardinals didn't get past midfield against the Rams until the next-to-last play of the game."You put so much time in in the offseason, in training camp, during the regular season, during practice Infant David Long Jersey , during your film study that you want to go out and you want to play well," Bradford said, "and when you don't, I think it's very frustrating just given the amount of time and the amount of effort that you put into it."So it's definitely been a frustrating two weeks but I think you look at it as a challenge, look at it as a way to find a solution , to keep battling, to keep competing and find a way to get better."Not that a fix will be easy. Next up is a Sunday home game against Khalil Mack and the Chicago Bears.This kind of start to a season naturally triggered speculation from the grumbling Arizona fan base that rookie Josh Rosen should take over at quarterback. That isn't happening, yet anyway."Sam, right now, is the quarterback, as I've stated before," coach Steve Wilks said. "I don't think it's just the quarterback position. I think we have some issues across the board in all three phases, and we're working on those issues. I think we've done a great job of trying to correct those issues, starting with trying to simplify things with the game plan, allowing guys to play fast. That's what I saw today. Guys executing, doing the little things right. So no, Sam's the guy."Bradford has had some problems with accuracy, usually a strong point of his game. Asked if he's playing cautiously because he's coming off yet another knee injury David Long Jersey nfl draft , he said, "I don't believe so. I would say, 'No,' to that."The Cardinals have scaled back the game plan and simplified things offensively.The idea, Bradford said, is to "just make sure that the plays that we have in the game plan everyone's comfortable with versus multiple looks. Just really feel like we own the plays that are in the game that week as opposed to having so many calls on the sheet that maybe we know them but we're not owning them the way that we should."I think the thought is just allow everyone to go out there and play faster, simplify everything a little bit and hopefully it shows up in the speed in which we play."And they've got to keep giving the ball to Johnson, who has yet to break the big plays that were his trademark two years ago, before a wrist injury wiped out virtually all of last season."I think with Dave, if you give him enough opportunities he's eventually going to make a play," Bradford said. "I think it's just staying committed to finding ways to get him the ball."Notes: TE Jermaine Gresham (Achilles) and DE Markus Golden (knee) participated fully in practice Wednesday, increasing the likelihood that both will make their season debut Sunday. Both are coming off surgery. ... WR Larry Fitzgerald (hamstring) didn't practice but is expected to play, Wilks said. ... The Cardinals signed LB Joe Walker off Philadelphia's practice squad. He played in 12 games, three as a starter, with the Eagles last season, accumulating 13 tackles.
