Sample, Wesco or _______? Who's the next Vance McDonald?

I also like how we've put a premium on blocking and the run game.

The only problem I see is that we gave good money to Eifert and Uzomah...so where does Sample fit in? Does he only come in to run block? If so, we'd be telegraphing our plays AND limiting Sample's opportunity for growth as a receiver. If/when Eifert gets hurt, obviously he'd get more PT, but I hate relying on injury to see a guy play.

I'm also really big on the Drew Sample pick. I wanted TJ Hockenson but Sample is maybe a little less refined but shows the same type of player. Everyone wanted to say how the Rams used 11 personnel most of the time but one of those was a TE-Y that was a Jack of all Trades and in the post season they started using two TE sets.

I'm really excited to see how Zac Taylor, Brian "Not Bill" Callahan, and Captian Lou Anarumo runs their offense and defense this upcoming season. 

Throw in Jonah Williams, Germaine Pratt, Rennell Wren,  Michael Jordan, Trayvon Williams, Rodney Anderson, and Jordan Brown. I thought they had an unflashy solid A grade draft.

Who Dey! It's a New Dey!
