  • I never said he wouldn't be productive. But there are questions about his skills,

    and I don't see how he is "elite".

    ...used to sit in the stands with friends, and watch Jack Lambert play at Kent State.

    Every single game, everybody saw "elite".

    you don't see that with Bosa.

    Cons

    Explosion: Bosa is not an explosive athlete like Watt is. His lack of burst off the line is a bit concerning when watching tape. Bosa tries to compensate that by timing the snap-count, which doesn’t always work in his favor. He jumped offsides three times in a loss against Michigan State in 2015. And another concerning part of Bosa’s tape was his motor. Bosa takes more plays off than I’d like from someone who might go in the top five of the NFL draft.

    Versatility: Despite his ability to rush the passer, Bosa is not a standup outside linebacker. His skill set thrives as a hand-in-the-dirt down defensive lineman. His skill-set could potentially make him an intriguing 3-technique prospect.

    Bosa will be pretty good, at least, could be great...

    but there are questions about his athleticism and taking plays off....

    just doesn't sound "elite" to me. But you don't have to be "elite" to be

    a terrific football player.

    So....his weakness is that they think that he cannot play a position that he does not play. I mean lets take away points because he can't play quarterback...or that he can't be a Wide Receiver or Cornerback.

    Then I guess we should downgrade Goff and Wentz because THEY can't rush the passer.

    But PFF says his is the #1 overall best prospect. That would mean that if he is not elite.....not a single player in this entire draft should be considered elite. (which, of course....can and has happened.)

    Does anyone think the Rams are smokescreening everyone and that they are in fact going to take Bosa?

    No... means Bosa is one of a handful of potentially elite players in this draft.

    The out of position argument simply means that his odds of realizing his "elite potential" are best in a Defense that emphasizes his strengths, i..e., as a 4-3 DE.

    No... when has the price the Rams paid ever been for a DE?

    It's a QB price.

  • quarterback? Bosa? "when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor" ?

    No, it means they placed Bosa at the top of the list, over elite players at their positions,

    because he was great in college.

    J.J. Watt was 'ELITE"... Bosa is no J.J. Watt, that's all.

    But I don't buy the argument that he is such a system guy as you do. 3-4/4-3 I don't think it matters in his case.

    No... when has the price the Rams paid ever been for a DE?

    It's a QB price.

    But I do agree here. The Rams got that pick to make a splash in their new/old home. a QB does that best.

    I am just not of the opinion that these 2 QBs are #1 overall caliber. (or #2 either).

    Even if I wasn't Camp Bosa cheerleader and the Browns had the 29th pick would I think that.

    I see David Carr/Joey Harrington/Jake Locker/Christian Ponder/Blaine Gabbert.

    And despite what I think I see....I hope I am wrong because of the chance that the Browns could get one of them.

    Sure....though he may be Howie Long whom I compare him more to.

    No, not even that would take the Dumb out of Houston.

  • I wonder if the Rams got a clause to void the trade if Wentz gets busted with drugs and Goff blows out a knee in a workout...

    There is no way they take Bosa.

    Beat me to it Tour. The Rams are taking a QB. 100% guaranteed. The we don't know who we're drafting is total BS. You don't give up 6 picks not knowing which guy (Goff\Wentz) you want. They obviously favor one over the other, or they could have got a far less costly deal with Cleveland.

    I doubt it, the Rams already have four 1st rounders on the DL.

    Unless they would be foolish enough to try and convert Bosa to an LB.
