[Colt 55]

Look what Brockers has become as a player. If we can do that with Donald I will be very pleased

 

[David Dennison]

We play a quarter of our games against Kapernick and Wilson, we need an elite offensive line.

SHades of Brady Quinn.

 

[SirPaste]

Meh, not crazy about the Donald pick, he is a hell of a player but we need help elsewhere. Our D line was already the biggest strength on the team, need help in the secondary.

 

[542365]

I'm pleased with both picks. Robinson is an athletic freak. I just hope he learns how to pass block because he didn't do a whole lot of that in college.

Donald's weight has me concerned. 285 going up against 320+ linemen seems like a lot to accomplish. He was a stud at the Senior Bowl, and he's clearly talented. If he develops, our DLine is disgusting.

 

[Wes C Addle]

I've seen most every Pitt home game in person during Donald's tenure and the kid is a beast. I know the Rams DL is stacked as it is, but AD is a helluva player and has a motor that won't quit. He's definitely more of a 3 technique as opposed to a 1. He won't excel at clogging the middle of the line and holding down a double team. But he is probably one of the best gap penetrating DL I've seen in a long time, the guy just creates havoc against both the run and the pass. Hope he does great for you guys!

 

[ExJbeck]

Donald consistently gets pressure, he's incredibly explosive. I'm so excited to watch this guy. An elite athlete with elite explosiveness. How can you block our line, honestly?

I would think the Rams are expecting Brockers to see all the double teams, which would leave Donald all alone with one blocker in the middle......as we saw in the highlights package, the kid seems to be unblockable one v one......clearly it's a different story with NFL men, but I think the kid has great potential to be a big play impact lineman.

I mean, when you line him up with Brockers, Quinn, and Long.....not to mention Ogletree coming off the edge from time to time......man that's a ton of firepower.

We still need to address DB though, we can't put all the pressure on our DLine to pressure the QB every time.

I've never been a huge Bradford fan, but I really hope that with the emergence of Zac Stacy and hopefully getting Jake Long back healthy for training camp, he puts up a monster year.

Our defensive line...dear lord we are going to scare the crap out of quarterbacks.

 

[JustOneB4IDie]

All I have to say about the Rams draft picks today is there is still a massive crater at CB and Safety. Looks like that on every passing down they better get the sack or they will continue to get burned big time.

No doubt we have needs in the defensive backfield. We have ten more picks, though, so we can still address those needs.

 

[SirPaste]

I'd like to get either Terrence Brooks or Marquis Lee in the second tonight

 

[bleedblue1223]

Some were saying Donald was the best pick of the 1st round. Not most talented, but best pick. He reminds some of Sapp. We have an entire defensive line that can get after the quarterback.

 

[Falco Lombardi]

I feel for the poor souls of the QBs that have to face our defensive line.

I was thrilled with Greg Robinson. Definitely the right pick at 2.

I wanted Haha Clinton-Dix at 13, but I didn't really expect Donald to be available. It does put our backs against the wall over the next 2 days to fix the secondary.

In round 2, I'd take Marqise Lee or Xavier Su'a Filo. Otherwise I'm going to the secondary twice today.

 

[bleedblue1223]

49ers got Stevie Johnson for a 2015 conditional 4th, that could become a 3rd. I wish we could've gotten him. He would've given us size and a proven track record to mix in with the speed of guys like Givens and Austin.

 

[bleedblue1223]

Josh Gordon's suspension will ensure that Lee won't last long enough for us to get him. Browns would be stupid not to draft him.

 

[SirPaste]

Traded up to 41, please be one of the FSU DBs!

edit: Nice! Joyner, he is a little small but he is good, can play CB or S

 

[bleedblue1223]

Glad we got secondary help, but not sure how I feel about the pick.

 

[Colt 55]

Is McCarron still available?

 

[bleedblue1223]

Is McCarron still available?

Yep. Carr went to the Raiders early in the 2nd and Garoppolo fell to the Patriots late in the 2nd.

Good. McCarron would be a perfect fit for our offense if he is available.

 

[bleedblue1223]

I want to get Donte Moncrief.

 

[Colt 55]

We do not need another ****ing running back jeff, as good as Mason may be

 

[bleedblue1223]

Time to adopt the triple option and never lose a game with Tre Mason.

 

[bleedblue1223]

We do not need another ****ing running back jeff

Well I'd argue that we only have 1 legitimate running back in Stacy.

 

[SirPaste]

Well I'd argue that we only have 1 legitimate running back in Stacy.

I'm with you, Rchardson is just ok and Pead is garbage, can't believe he wasn't cut last year. LOVE the Tre Mason pick
