You can't leave Sample in the middle of the field single-covered by a linebacker and a safety has to be playing overtop of AJ at all times, so either you keep both safeties back and let Mixon destroy you or you either let AJ or Sample destroy you.

The fact that we got Pratt a round later also makes the pick that much sweeter.

What? Sample is an inch shorter and weighs the same as Eifert. I loved the pick, I said for weeks that Rams TEs block... but you aren't making sense. 

Sample lacks the ability to separate and isn't a great route runner at this point. Have you read any scouting reports on him?
