I don't get why he feels like he has to.
Maybe there's more to it than that.

honestly, the only difference for an average person in LA versus SD in terms of life style is the median age.

Sorry.
I want Maxx Williams….i really like that kid.

Total luxury pick, but I'm with ya. Move TEs are so valuable.. good ones though. Not absolutely terrible ones like Rivera :nod:

I think it's simple. Williams is our 1st choice, Cooper is our 2nd, trade is our 3rd. We can talk about all the picks we'd like to have, and always talk about 'BPA', but I'm thinking our first 3 rounds will be at this point will address only these positions: WR, CB, S, DE, G.

I feel the draft is top heavy with WR and DEs, and middle heavy with OL. Very light on safeties, but solid with CBs.

Speaking of, in CB news, I've heard off-the-record that Marcus Peters is off many boards because he 'is going to be a failure as a person'.

lol yeah it is. But the guy does seem like kind of a tool, so it makes sense.

Merry Football Xmas everyone!

Latest rumor that's relevant to us: The Rams are looking to trade into the top 5 for Amari Cooper. Maybe we'll get the same haul the Bills did for Watkins? Otherwise it seems like the selection options are clear: Leonard Williams, Amari Cooper, Marcus Mariota trade.

Cooper over Williams, how bout that!?

I'm very very happy with the pick. Surprised Williams has dropped so low though.

GoRapstheoriginal · Post #72 » by **GoRapstheoriginal** » Fri May 1, 2015 12:38 am

Ah well. Hopefully we can still draft some good players for the pass rush.

Reggie finally got it right, maybe it was Del Rio's influence

McCloughan said he would trade down is Leonard Williams fell to him at 5.

We skipped on him.
They didn't trade down and he fell to 6.

Walter Football said that Williams is liked more by ESPN scouts than he is by teams. Maybe that was true.

No credit for Mack but credit for this one eh?

:lol:

Williams dropped bc of labrum concerns.. those conditions deteriorate over time. Right call was made. Good job everyone but Reggie!

That he wasn't able to trade down speaks volumes.. still massive potential but that labrum thing is no joke. Ask Wiz
