Rams receiving crops is looking very exciting, if Austin is able to play at a high level he could compliment this team very well. I'm very exited for the Watkins acquisition, very nice job by the front office.

I like the idea of Tavon Austin serving the role of Az-Zahir Hakim during the "Greatest Show on Turf" days. Sammy Watkins is clearly the #1 receiver in the Torry Holt role. I also like Cooper Kupp as the #2 receiver even though he may be more Ricky Proehl than Isaac Bruce.

Don't sleep on my local guy Josh Reynolds one of San Antonio's own best young talents. He will make an impact on this Rams team and coach already loves his length, hunger and skill.

I like Reynolds but I don't want to put too much on his shoulders during his rookie season. He looks like a keeper but I want to ensure his development with a slow molding process if we can afford it.

I think the only way that happens is if Austin is injured and doesn't play much, I think the best offensive squad without Austin includes Reynolds. I'm just hoping for a healthy roster to get a good start on the season and build confidence from there.
