McShay pulls a whopper off now that the Rams are locked in to the

31st overall pick."Welp. We’re off and running into the offseason. Time to start taking the 2019 NFL Draft and thus the mocks seriously (and by seriously I mean anything but).Today Nolan Cromwell Jersey , we’ve got the second mock draft from ESPN’s Todd McShay (ESPN+ subscription required) and he’s got a doozy of a pick for the Los Angeles Rams with the 31st pick of the draft.Before that, some mock talk.Nothing really surprising through the first six picks if you’ve been paying attention to mocks at this point. Ohio State Buckeyes EDGE Joey Bosa is the conventional #1 and McShay doesn’t stray from that. Ohio St. QB Dwayne Haskins is his first QB at #6 to the New York Giants.Things start to get interesting at #7 where he has the Jacksonville Jaguars taking Mississippi St. Bulldogs DT Jeffery Simmons. My dream drop for the Rams is LSU Tigers ILB Devin White. McShay has him at #12 to the Green Bay Packers. Boo.One pick later, McShay has the Miami Dolphins taking Oklahoma Sooners QB Kyler Murray. He’s going to be a fascinating pick given his size and perhaps unclear commitment to the sport.At #23, McShay has a name I haven’t seen in the first round before: Vanderbilt Commodores CB Joejuan Williams.One big note on this mock? For Rams fans that are keeping an eye on edge rushers, this is a bit of a perfect scenario. McShay has very few of the bigger name edge rushing prospects in this mock, though he does have Old Dominion Monarchs EDGE Oshane Ximines at #30 one pick before the Rams going to the Green Bay Packers via their trade with the New Orleans Saints from the 2018 NFL Draft that the Saints pulled off to take their own edge rusher in EDGE Marcus Davenport.As for the Rams, make sure you’re sitting down...#31.) Alabama Crimson Tide TE Irv Smith, Jr.Man...that’s hard to get behind.Rams TE Tyler Higbee is going into a contract year in 2019 while TE Gerald Everett still has two more seasons locked down. Irv Smith is a fine prospect, but if you look at the needs over the next few seasons that a first-round rookie should be helping to address, I dunno that tight end is in the top six or so...But hey. Who knows. If you’re a purist when it comes to a best player available strategy, you could get behind this. And maybe Rams Head Coach Sean McVay is just waiting for the right talent at tight end to get more production out of the position.But as things stand, this mock is probably going to leave a sour taste in the mouths of Rams fans.This fan included. The Los Angeles Rams were still reeling from the mass shooting less than five miles from their training complex when wildfires consumed the nearby hills, forcing a canceled practice and the evacuation of many players and coaches from their homes.At the close of a horrific week in Thousand Oaks Kurt Warner Jersey , a comeback victory over the Seattle Seahawks somehow seemed both more trivial and even sweeter to these resilient Rams.Brandin Cooks rushed for a 9-yard touchdown with 5:49 to play on the first snap after Dante Fowler forced and recovered a fumble by Russell Wilson, and the Rams bounced back from their first loss of the season with a 36-31 victory Sunday.Jared Goff was forced from his home during the week, but he passed for 318 yards and two touchdowns as the Rams (9-1) swept the season series with their division rivals."It's just been a tough week for the whole city, the whole area up there," Goff said of the Rams' weekday hometown, one hour northwest of downtown Los Angeles. "Hoping today provided a little bit of joy and regularity for those people."Todd Gurley rushed for 120 yards and a score as Los Angeles moved into commanding position for its second consecutive NFC West title, but only after plenty of late drama in a rivalry that's never lacking in excitement.Gerald Everett and Tyler Higbee caught TD passes for the Rams, who survived a topsy-turvy game with just enough big plays. Although the perfect season ended last week in New Orleans, Los Angeles still has never lost back-to-back games under coach Sean McVay."It means a lot, (because) there's a lot of tragedy that's been going on," said Aaron Donald, who had 2陆 sacks of Wilson after evacuating his family during the week. "We've all been affected by it. We had to move ourselves, so to win a game like this Joe Namath Jersey , a divisional game, we're trying to give people something to smile about."Fowler, the pass-rush specialist acquired from Jacksonville late last month, made up for his costly unsportsmanlike conduct penalty in the third quarter by stripping Wilson of the ball and then recovering the fumble, setting up Cooks' run for a 12-point lead.Wilson threw three touchdown passes, rushed for 92 yards and nearly rallied the Seahawks (4-5) all the way back after his fumble.Wilson hit Mike Davis for a short TD catch to cap a 90-yard drive with 1:56 to play. After the Seattle defense held, he got the Seahawks to the Los Angeles 35 before throwing four straight incompletions in the final minute."I think the whole stadium was nervous on that last drive, (but) it didn't work out," Wilson said.Wilson also threw TD passes to Nick Vannett and Tyler Lockett , but the Seahawks have lost two straight after winning four of five.Seattle took the lead with Lockett's TD catch in the third quarter, but only because their drive was kept alive by an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty against Fowler after a third-down stop."I knew I had to go out there and redeem myself," Fowler said.RUNAWAY LOSSRashaad Penny rushed for 108 yards and a touchdown in the injury absence of Chris Carson for the Seahawks., who had 273 yards rushing at the Coliseum after racking up 190 yards on the ground in their 33-31 loss to the Rams last month in Seattle. "On this day Cooper Kupp Jersey , we went nose to nose," Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. "That's a statement to guys running the football. That's the whole thing fitting together."GURLEY'S GAINSGurley scored his NFL-leading 17th touchdown in the second quarter on a 17-yard run. He also scored a TD in his franchise-record 13th consecutive game, extending his franchise record. He is the fourth player in league history to score a TD in each of his team's first 10 games.SACK MACHINEDonald has a career-high 12陆 sacks already this season. He teamed up with Ndamukong Suh for a huge third-down sack at the Los Angeles 15 in the fourth quarter, forcing Seattle to kick a field goal.BIG GIFTRams left tackle Andrew Whitworth is donating his game check to the Ventura County Community Foundation's Conejo Valley Victims Fund, which was set up to help the families of the 12 people killed Wednesday night by a gunman in Thousand Oaks, the home of the Rams' training complex. The Rams held a moment of silence before the game.INJURIESSeahawks: Carson sat out with a hip injury, while starting right guard D.J. Fluker missed the game with a calf injury.Rams: Receiver Cooper Kupp went down in the fourth quarter holding his left knee, which sidelined him earlier this season. McVay said the injury "doesn't look good right now."UP NEXTSeahawks: A short week to host the Green Bay Packers on Thursday.Rams: One of the biggest games of the regular season against the Kansas City Chiefs in Mexico City on Monday, Nov. 19.
