Rams personel gambles are glaring now.
Not addressing size when choosing receivers and corner backs, depth, experience and sharing the load at running back has been a problem.
Settling for unproven linebackers was a gamble.
Signing Suh and Peters instead of addressing existing deficiencies was a gamble that hasn’t paid off.
Using the franchise tag on Joyner was downright foolish after using the franchise on TJ only to watch him walk.
You can even armchair it with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight.
Who would you have signed at LB? At what cost? And who would you have not signed in order to have dollars available?
If you didn't bring in Peters, who would you have signed to play that position? For how much?
By the way, in July, Pro Football Weekly had Peters ranked as the #1 CB. Seemed like a good decision at the time.

Who would you have signed instead of Suh, who has won numerous accolades and pro bowl appearances? At what cost?
Joyner - lots of holes to fill. The tag was a way to keep Joyner, who had a good year last year. He wanted more money than the Rams were willing to pay. So you would have let him go. How would you have addressed the position? At what cost?
Would love to hear some thoughtful solutions from you on how you would have filled those positions with players who would want to come and play for the Rams and still keep us under the salary cap.
