you find a former 3rd rounder acquired in trade (Coleman), two undrafted FAs (Breida and Wilson Jr) and another rescued off the scrap heap (Mostert).
How Mostert bounced from team to team (including a previous stay with SF) is a mystery to me. Dude has jets in his feet.
Obviously, speed isn't everything. Guy went undrafted and, as you say, has bounced around. I'm sure they're good reasons for that.
That said, it'd be SO nice to have some speed again in the Rams' backfield. A legit all-the-way threat for those occasions when the OL actually creates a hole. Someone who can legit beat an LB to the edge. My heart sank every time I saw Gurley running parallel to the LOS. His stiff-arms notwithstanding, that rarely worked out well: as a rule, he's neither fast enough to beat guys to the edge nor nimble enough to turn it upfield in the space allowed.
