My understanding is that Heggie is being moved to center.

Los Angeles Rams Surprised WR Van Jefferson by Drafting Him

Van Jefferson had zero clues that the Los Angeles Rams would be giving him a call and selecting him with the 57th pick in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft.

The 23-year-old former Florida Gators wide receiver was sitting in his living room, surrounded by family, when his phone rang with a California area code letting him know that he had been selected by the Rams. But if you'd have told him before the call that the Rams would be the team on the other end of the line, Jefferson might not have believed you.

My understanding is that Heggie is being moved to center.

That wouldnbe my assumption to but it is damn hard to develop an OL withoutnthem repping.

Plus, Ive never really seen it anywhere, just our assumptions. Some said they heard White.

Egukan got all the reps last year though. That is really the best evidence of what the coaches are thinking. Regardless, it is a new center and tons of reps are needed to build cohesiveness. It isnt going to be there.

I keep seeing Eguakun will be Center unless he's a disaster in camp, w/ Heggie as the backup (but starting OG).

@LindseyThiry: New Rams WR Van Jefferson is the first Florida offensive skill position player to go in the first two rounds since Tim Tebow (25th overall) in 2010, according to @ESPNStatsInfo.

You won’t hear me defending WM or McElwain very often, but Robinson and AC could’ve broken that snap if not for their own stupidity and/or the Grier suspension. College production wasn’t ever going to be great, but I think they would’ve gone based on potential alone.

Think Van's a perfect fit. Looking forward to seeing what he can do with my Rams.

He fits exactly what they need a guy that is a solid route runner but not breakaway speed. A guy that can make a tough catch and create separation due to route running.

I don't even need to click it. I think it's safe to say we're the laughingstock of the draft to this point. Other than going back to our old Philly roots of "no, no, that's too obvious, let's get this guy", I have no explanation for this pick. Wasn't thrilled with the TCU WR either that high with some of the names that were out there. But this is atrocious.

If you think your QB may continue to have injury issues, draft an actual QB. Not a guy who was masked by a great running game and defense and rarely called upon to win games IN COLLEGE with his arm. Hate the idea of Fromm as an Eagle, but he would've been 10x the player. Eason as well.

Perine to the Jets in the 4th.

Perine to the Jets in the 4th.

That's great. Don't remember him being projected that high.

 

[t-gator]

I wouldn't be surprised if perine was a solid pro. I don't think I'd expect him to be the bell cow.but he could definitely be a very solid 3rd down guy and back up.

FIU QB gone before Fromm

Lol I just went to post that, #125 in 4th round

Fromm blew people away at the combine with his LDR-esque arm talent. Anyone who had watched him play at UGly knew he did not have the arm to be a starter in the nfl.

 

[FireFoley]

Guess I am a bit late to the "How is Jake from State Fromm" doing? Oh well, probably would have made more money staying at UGA just from a few handshakes and pats on the back. Enjoy mucking stalls and plowing fields.
