Rams are very excited by Brian Quick’s performance in rookie camp

The Rams made the surprise selection of Brian Quick at 33rd overall bigger names like Rueben Randle and Stephen Hill still available to mixed reviews. Depending on who you ask, Quick either has more raw talent than any wide receiver in this draft class or is a major project from a small school who may never develop the ability to play major NFL football.

The Rams, obviously, agree with the former. They had him ranked higher on their board than Michael Floyd, who went 13th overall, and have been singing his praises frequently this offseason, saying they see him contributing in a big way early and that they are “insanely excited” by his progress in minicamp.

The Rams have plenty of depth at wide receiver, but don’t have any proven receivers to man the two starting jobs for them. Brian Quick and fellow rookie Chris Givens seem like the early favorites to be Sam Bradford’s starting receivers. The Rams obviously think higher of Quick than Givens, a 4th round pick, and Sam Bradford would be thrilled if he were as good as advertised given the lack of receiving help he’s had so far in his short career. Whether or not he is as good as advertised remains to be seen, but he definitely has plenty of upside in fantasy circles. He’s a nice late round sleeper, if you can get him there, but I wouldn’t reach for him. He’s no sure thing, obviously.
