#23 will not be a CB. You are right that Talib and Whitworth were not long term solutions. Rams have a window right now to go for the Superbowl, and they are. The next two years in particular. #23 could be an O Lineman because they are always valuable, otherwise I expect a player that will come in and play. I expect several rookie starters. I am NOT suggesting Rams are not keeping one eye on the long term, but right now with Goff and Gurley and even Donald on their original rookie contracts, well, that is the time to strike.
go rams.
