Mo’ meetings
Of course, tracking the Rams pre-draft meetings can be awfully optimistic. Even with scanning social media on a daily basis, the events rely upon someone stating the occurrence. Some pre-draft meetings have and will slip under the radar. With the addition of four more pre-draft meetings, the distribution of 21 recorded pre-draft meetings looks like this:
Five (5) interviews were held with cornerbacks – The list includes UCF CB Tay Gowan (two meetings were reported with the same prospect), Oregon’s CB Thomas Graham, San Diego State’s CB Darren Hall, and Florida State’s CB Asante Samuel Jr. (two meetings were reported with the same prospect)
*New Addition, Washington CB Elijah Molden.
Eight (8) interviews were held with wide receivers – The list includes UCF’s 6-foot-5 WR/TE Jacob Harris, North Carolina WR Dazz Newsome, and previously included Western Michigan’s D’Wayne Eskridge, Auburn’s Anthony Schwartz (two meetings were reported with the same prospect), Iowa WR Ihmir Smith-Marsette, and now Auburn WR Eli Stove.
*New Additions, Wake Forest WR Sage Surratt and Louisville WR Tutu Atwell
Two (2) interviews were held with defensive linemen – The list includes WVU DL Darius Stills and Iowa’s DL Chauncey Golston
Two (2) interviews were held with running backs – The list includes Louisville RB Javian Hawkins and UCLA RB Demetric Felton.
