2016 NFL Draft: Twitter Reacts To The Los Angeles Rams' Draft Class

Tyler Higbee is a BALLER. Love this pick for the @RamsNFL. Top 4 TE in the class.

— Matt Miller (@nfldraftscout) April 30, 2016

Tyler Higbee? Sure. L.A. won't be distracting for that kid at all.

— Liz Loza (@LizLoza_FF) April 30, 2016

So Lance Kendricks will be the Rams TE this year. Tyler Higbee will help out as the 2.

— Mike Clay (@MikeClayNFL) April 30, 2016

I compare Tyler Higbee to Greg Olsen... @RamsNFL

— Matt Miller (@nfldraftscout) April 30, 2016

The Rams select Western Kentucky TE Tyler Higbee, who just three weeks ago was arrested for assault. Lots of talent, though.

#Rams updated TE depth chart:

Lance Kendricks
Cory Harkey (FB/TE)
Tyler Higbee
Justice Cunningham

— Evan Silva (@evansilva) April 30, 2016

Great pick @RamsNFL. @Ty_Higs19 will be one of @JaredGoff16s top weapons. A rookie QB loves his TE#DraftDay #NFLDraft #LARams

— Eric Dickerson (@EricDickerson) April 30, 2016

Tyler Higbee #LARams Boom or bust. Has very good ability to get down field as a receiver. Can you trust him?

— Charley Casserly (@CharleyCasserly) April 30, 2016

Personnel men in texts to me are obliterating the Tyler Higbee pick. Holy crap.

— mike freeman (@mikefreemanNFL) April 30, 2016

Congrats @Ty_Higs19 and @KingTutt_chdown! #GoRams

— Jared Goff (@JaredGoff16) April 30, 2016

Rams draft WR Pharoah Cooper after taking TE Tyler Higbee. Clearly getting No. 1 pick Jared Goff help. Don't be shocked by RB pick as well

— Steve Wyche (@wyche89) April 30, 2016

Thanks Mr. Kroenke, @CoachJeffFisher, @kdemoff, Mr. Snead & the entire @RamsNFL organization for this opportunity! Cant wait to get to work!

— Tyler Higbee (@Ty_Higs19) April 30, 2016

New Rams TE Tyler Higbee says new USC QBs coach Tyson Helton was "a great coach" when they were at WKU. Looks forward to reconnecting in LA.

— Greg Beacham (@gregbeacham) April 30, 2016

Tyler Higbee said his pending assault case won't impact his ability to participate in the Rams rookie minicamp next weekend.

— Jack Wang (@thejackwang) April 30, 2016

Welcome our newest gunner @KingTutt_chdown and interior punt player @Ty_Higs19! But for real, let's score lots of TD's boys! #MobSquad

— Johnny Hekker (@JHekker) April 30, 2016

Like #Rams double-down on tight ends. Tyler Higbee & Temarrick Hemingway both have lots of length & athleticism.

— Evan Silva (@evansilva) April 30, 2016

Also curious to see how much Camera time @Ty_Higs19 gets on @hbo Hard Knocks this season. #NFLDraft

— Tony Rose (@tonyroseshow) April 30, 2016

Jeff Fisher says they investigated Tyler Higbee's legal troubles. "It's an ongoing issue, but we're convinced it's going to be resolved."

— Greg Beacham (@gregbeacham) April 30, 2016

Cooper has little competition for the Rams slot job. Good chance he starts there and as a returner.

— Mike Clay (@MikeClayNFL) April 30, 2016

@RamsNFL just got a steal! Pharoh Cooper is going to be a playmaker! pic.twitter.com/4sxWLQQsbs

— Rob Fowler (@RobStormTeam2) April 30, 2016

Pharoh Cooper has a chance to be really special with Jared Goff…having trouble reconciling that with Rams past offensive efforts.

— Michael Schottey (@Schottey) April 30, 2016

#Rams updated WR depth chart:

Tavon Austin
Kenny Britt
Brian Quick
Pharoh Cooper
Stedman Bailey
Bradley Marquez

— Evan Silva (@evansilva) April 30, 2016

"My comparison tape for him?"@MoveTheSticks + @CFD22 have HIGH praise for the newest @RamsNFL WR. #NFLDraft https://t.co/rfrnMO1YaR

— NFL (@NFL) April 30, 2016

.@RamsNFL drafting weapons for @JaredGoff16. Good strategy. Congrats @KingTutt_chdown! Welcome to LA#NFLDraft #DraftDay

— Eric Dickerson (@EricDickerson) April 30, 2016

Rams just drafted the best Twitter handle in the draft, that’s for sure: @KingTutt_chdown

— Bryan Fischer (@BryanDFischer) April 30, 2016

WR Pharoh Cooper to the LA Rams. Love that pick. Cooper was Gamecocks' only weapon last year, and he still balled out.

— Joe Person (@josephperson) April 30, 2016

Pharoh Cooper #LARams very good value as WR in 4th rd

— Charley Casserly (@CharleyCasserly) April 30, 2016

Absolutely love what the #Rams have done. Their 1,635 yards by receivers was lowest in NFL last year. Pharoh Cooper and Higbee are terrific.

— Jordan Schultz (@Schultz_Report) April 30, 2016

Is there anything new Rams WR Pharoh Cooper can't do? @MarcasG investigates: https://t.co/YbkDELs4l2 pic.twitter.com/1Mwxn591IJ

— NFL Fantasy Football (@NFLfantasy) April 30, 2016

Excited to be part of the @RamsNFL !! Ready to go to work with my family now !! Let's go !!

— Pharoh Cooper (@KingTutt_chdown) April 30, 2016

Great pick.#playmaker https://t.co/nHVQgY8aNb

— Todd Gurley II (@TG3II) April 30, 2016

I asked Pharoh Cooper if slipping to Day 3 of the draft motivates him: "Absolutely. Last night, I couldn't even get any sleep."

— Greg Beacham (@gregbeacham) April 30, 2016

Pharoh Cooper was surprised by his selection, given lack of pre-draft contact w/ Rams. No interviews, no visits. Just a request for his film

— Jack Wang (@thejackwang) April 30, 2016

Congrats to Pharoh Cooper @KingTutt_chdown and congrats Rams #Spursup! https://t.co/iRghP1FQ7r

— Will Muschamp (@CoachWMuschamp) April 30, 2016

"LA BABY!"

Safe to say @KingTutt_chdown is PUMPED to join his new team, @RamsNFL. #NFLDrafthttps://t.co/QE2nWHWvOb

Pharoh Cooper, a NC native, has only visited CA once. Went to San Diego for about four hours for "Game Changers." https://t.co/pcxjfaWR8p

TEMARRICK HEMINGWAY

— Josh Norris (@JoshNorris) April 30, 2016

Rams D coaches draft: watching who they'll practice against. 4 picks, 4 offensive players. The latest TE Temarrick Hemingway SCST

— Steve Wyche (@wyche89) April 30, 2016

Temarrick Hemingway (6-5, 244) led TEs at the NFL combine in the 3-cone drill, and was second in 60-yard shuttle and 40-yard dash (4.71).

— Jack Wang (@thejackwang) April 30, 2016

Congrats to former @SCStateAthletic TE Temarrick Hemingway - LA @RamsNFL bound! #NFLDraft #MEACFB pic.twitter.com/bntJ0imYF9

— AFR Celebration Bowl (@CelebrationBowl) April 30, 2016

Temarrick Hemingway was 229 lbs at the beginning of last season at South Carolina St. Listed at 244 now.

— Jack Wang (@thejackwang) April 30, 2016

New Rams TE Temarrick Hemingway grew up in Loris, S.C. (pop. 2,396). On coming to Los Angeles: "I know the traffic is pretty crazy."

— Jack Wang (@thejackwang) April 30, 2016

New Rams TE Temarrick Hemingway says he "cried immediately" after getting picked. Sounded overjoyed.

— Greg Beacham (@gregbeacham) April 30, 2016

Josh Forrest, once a wide receiver, selected as a linebacker by the Rams in the 6th round, the 9th straight year a Wildcat has been drafted.

— Steve Moss (@smosswkyt) April 30, 2016

Kentucky ILB Josh Forrest was just taken 190th overall (6th rd). Had to look up his pro day etc. as Scooby falls pic.twitter.com/IbmoSPFtbE

— Dave Cooney (@CooneyLand) April 30, 2016

New Rams LB Josh Forrest added 50 pounds between his arrival at Kentucky as a WR and his departure as the Cats' 2-time leading tackler.

— Greg Beacham (@gregbeacham) April 30, 2016

New Rams LB Josh Forrest a pretty interesting story. Started college career as a 205-pound WR and now drafted as a 250-pound ILB.

— Nick Wagoner (@nwagoner) April 30, 2016

Had Michael Thomas last week on our list of potential WRs the Rams could draft. Combine snub despite 19.6 yd/catch. https://t.co/uuFKWLnRhV

— Jack Wang (@thejackwang) April 30, 2016

Congrats Michael Thomas. @RamsNFL continue loading up on weapons for @JaredGoff16. Good strategy#NFLDraft #DraftDay https://t.co/LeWI0Cy6b2

— Eric Dickerson (@EricDickerson) April 30, 2016

Michael Thomas, on his NFL combine snub: "That put a lot of fire in me." Thought he'd be drafted no later than the fourth round.

— Jack Wang (@thejackwang) April 30, 2016
