| DeAndre Hopkins and Tavon Austin are my two favorite Receivers. I'd take them in the first round in a heartbeat. |

Hopkins doesnt really offer greatness in any one category. Instead hes good in everything.
He drops passes, doesnt run the greatest route, isnt the most physical and doesnt have blazing speed.
Justin Hunter's draft status will depend on his combine and physical. Williams will go late first because he will probably only check in at 6'1 3/4" or something and wont run a 4.3 and doesnt have the greatest routes in the world but he has incredibly strong hands and plays like a track star on the field. Keenan Allen could fall depending on his 40 time but he is the most polished WR other than Woods. Cordelle Patterson is the one you want to look at if you are talking about crazy fluctuations in draft status. He could be the first WR taken or the 5th. The team who is going to take him will be a team who will fall in love with what he could become, which is a monster, but he could amount to nothing.
Point is, Hopkins is definitely a 2nd round prospect and any team who takes him before that is just stupid.

If I can weigh in on Justin Hunter.....that boy has game. Might be my favorite WR in this draft in terms of a guy to work outside of the numbers, stretch the field deep, and win one on one red zone battles.

I hears Williams is really struggling beating press and deep comeback routes, but that's cause he never really had to do wither at Baylor

ANd from what Ive heard about Johnson thus far is that he is flashing and you can see his potential, but I wouldnt say he is having a "Strong Week" isnt really changing his draft stock at this point. |

Not really that shocked, although didn't think it was to this degree. He basically can't run anything but a vertical route...
He's gonna need time to develop into more than just a deep threat. Not sure I'd take him with either of our picks. Would love to have him fall to us in the 2nd though...

You don't think the fact that Hopkins is "good at everything" is reason enough for him to go in the first? Being good at everything and playing with that physical swagger is every reason the Rams should take him in the first. IMO, anyone who takes Williams in the first is just stupid.
The Rams two 1st rounders must be able to start day 1 and create mismatches consistently. Hopkins is that guy. Hopkins >> Williams any day.

Almost every prospect is raw is at least some aspects, the main thing is can the coaching staff help develop the players skills further. There are a lot of underclassman in this draft.
I like Patterson too. |

Here are the reported guys that the Rams have meet with Monday & Tuesday:
| Quote: | Andre Ellington -Not surprised at all, this is a guy who I have felt Fisher would gravitate toward this draft season
Xavier Nixon-Super inconsistant with great tools, Held up well against Jarvis Jones & Demontre Moore. Looks to be versitile.
Ezekial Ansah- This is a bit of a head scratcher, due dilligence or genuine interest?
Aaron Dobson-Love the smoothness of Dobson, & his freak athleticism/body control is very appealing.
Jack Doyle - Looking at upside/project TE seems is logical with Kendricks being the only NFL talent on our roster.
Will Davis- need more secondary depth. Looking at the guy leading the nation in Passes Defended is a good spot to start |

I've had Will Davis in my last two mocks, so this is good to hear...

What is it that you love about Williams? I don't get it. I see several better prospects at his position. I have trouble deciding if I like Terrance more than DaRick or even Hopkins. I know that I like Hunter, Allen, and Ausitn more, although the latter shouldn't really be compared to most of the other names.
