Man, I don't know about Reynolds.  Huge character choice, I'm sure.  But a small dude with no position, with Lawler still on the board?  I don't get it. 

He also has a mad case of the butterfingers so that is something he will have to work on especially if he's going to factor in the return game. We cut Ross last season and got Clay because of that very same reason. You can't cough up the ball, especially on a return.

I would have liked to grab Boehringer just to see what he can do, but he's a fan of the Vikings and he just got drafted by them so, I'll be watching them just to see what he does. I don't know if he will be a weapon at WR, but I think he can be a good return man. He's big enough and fast enough to break some tackles and out run some people.

Keenan I think has a chance to make the roster as our third QB even though he most likely will never play that position unless we're doing a gimmick play. If he does make the team I have to think we're going to be getting very creative on offense with the personnel we have. Is Waller lining up at TE or WR, is he blocking this play or going out for a pass? Is Reynolds going to be a RB/WR or QB. If he's a QB is he running it, passing it, or flipping it back to another QB and running out for a pass? Juice can line up at TE and FB and can slot out wide from time to time. We could run a 3 TE set with a FB (Watson, Gillmore, Waller, Juice) and have them line up jumbo, twin TE with 2 WR with Waller and Juice as the WR's. Mass confusion! Of course I am a mad scientist when it comes to offensive coordinating in my own mind, but I like the thought of this.

Class shaped up pretty well, may not have loved every pick. But I think we will see a few of these players make contributions this year. May not be eye-popping type stats.  

Patience will be needed remember guys like Kruger didn't contribute early on. McPhee popped out the screen his rookie year then had an injury bug, before stepping it up during his contract year. 

 

Z.Smith showed good progress last year.  Hopefully one or 2 of these guys can crack the rotation ( without 20+ IR ) and add to our defense.

He's a good football player. Jumps off the film. Not as athletic as you would want your safety to be.

TE LaQuan McGowan: http://www.nfl.com/videos/greatest-cfb-plays/0ap3000000557199/410-pound-TE-LaQuan-McGowan-18-yard-TD-play-Baylor-vs-Kansas-2015

I doubt seriously he will be drafted and he probably won't even be an UDFA, but I just want to see what the guy could do if he drops about 50lbs or so. He can be a big FB, TE, or maybe even play some O-Line. He's not like Terrence Cody either. He's an athlete and he's mega strong. 30 reps of 225 and I think he maxes out around 500lbs benching.

Love the way the NFL just lists the Rams as "LA" now, lmao. They are going to milk that for all it is worth. 

Rams select WR Mike Thomas

LA Rams take Mike Thomas WR

I wonder if they are gonna try to do that whole regional thing like their baseball team did:

The Los Angeles Rams of Anaheim, just a hop skip and a jump from Pasadena, down the road a piece from San Bernadino, around the bend from Santa Clara....
