They still need an outside threat. Tavon is more suited in the slot. Not as that #1 bigtime receiver.

 

One thing I never understood is what makes one guy a "slot" receiver and how is that different from the other guys?

We don't have to spend that much money just because we have it. Would you spend all of the money in your bank account?

We are actually required to spend around that much money this offseason, I don't remember the exact number though

u have to spend at least 85% of ur cap over a 4 yr. period

---

We have to spend 100+million $ this offseason and DE is a good place to start. Caldwell has to spend it somewhere

I agree but he won't spend big.....he wants young 26 year olders or younger with high upsides....like Marks that don't cost much

Well some guys especially smaller guys like Tavon Austin and Ace Sanders thrive in the slot. They can take a short slant and use their speed and shiftiness to move the sticks. A guy like Calvin Johnson can run his route all the way to the endzone and beat double coverage for the big play.

Is Watkins an elite player at a position the Rams need to upgrade?

why dontcha find out yourself instead of relying on others opinions and watch a little game film

if you can't answer this then you must not really watch football. I'm sorry, but its people like you for the reason that no men believe women know anything about football

No the Rams wont pick a WR at 2, they just picked a WR last year in the top 10, they will prob pick a WR with their other later 1st round pick

Two high quality players which play two important positions.

 

One is a self confessed slacker who has a questionable attitude off and on the field

 

One tries 100% every game, is a leader for his team, lives up to his incredibly high expectations, has a personality which will generate media coverage and additional revenue, who looks to be constantly improving. Question marks over whether his game can translate to the pros (which from what I saw against Duke seem unfounded)

 

Manziel every time for me.

The position on the field is determined by which of the other receivers the slot receiver is paired up with. If paired with the flanker, the slot receiver will be on the line of scrimmage. If paired with the split end, the slot will be off the line of scrimmage. That is my understanding.

I am confused. Isn't this a Clowney or Manziel thread?

lol.....yeah sorry.....I was trying to answer JW's question

---

To answer the question. Clowney. All day over anyone if he is on the board.

---

Clowney, Barr, Bortles, hell, even the best available punter. Johnny Alcohol will bust out early and hard in the NFL.

---

Nice, you're making fun of a kid you don't even know for a problem that hasn't even been reported about him.

 

Classy.

2015 NFL Draft - Analyzing Targets www.jungle.jaguars.com/index.php?/topic/7892-2015-nfl-draft-analyzing-targets/

why wouldnt they? if they dont get a good rrade offer who do they take?

 

Do people not realize that the Rams have a QB issue? Bradford sucks. 

 

Please. So far he can't even be dominate against Wisconsin not even in one on one situations.


Maybe it's not a big enough game for him to be motivated for.


Clowney is way overhyped.

 

I don't like the fact that he has motivation issues. Is there any comparisons with similar prospects that took plays (or whole seasons) off in college before that turned into a superstar (not just starter) in the NFL? If I'm the Jags and Clowney is sitting there at 3, I'd have to think about trading the pick. There probably would be suitors. 

 

Because people are too stupid to realize Jake Long will come back from his torn ACL.

 

But remember we did not need a left tackle and picked Luke Joeckel anyway.

 

We picked Joeckel there and not a QB simply because it was an extraordinarily weak QB class last year and Joeckel was simply BAP.

You make a good argument for Manziel.

Weren't you just moaning a couple of days ago that the Jags would not have a shot at Teddy or Clowney? You did insinuate they were the only two elite players in this draft?


The contradiction continues...

---

LOL I thought nobody else would say that with all of the spelling and grammatical errors I see on this board.


Now if only there was no i in his name so that mistake could never happen. I used to think it was pronounced Man-zeal.

Because typos never happen. Typing from a phone isn't the easiest thing

What I want more that anything is the first crack at those players. I.e.The pick. Then you hold the cards. YOU can either take the player or trade the pick for a windfall. 

 

I think Clowney has a ton of ability. But the attitude/ taking 2013 off is a concern. If it isn't you're stupid.

A lot of people were saying Alshon Jeffrey had the same issues. How's that working out?
