Last two years devoted to really building up the O line and D line. Luv it. Been wanting this approach for years and I'm glad McSnead understands where games are won. A real reversal from their recent philosophy.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRidgewood Ram I know you researched the crap out of this draft. :bravo Love it when are resident draft gurus approve.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
"The Rams are picking FSU OLB Jared Verse - a rare combination of massive need and one of their favorite players in the class. They were prepared to potentially trade out but the board fell uniquely - luck helps. Their first first-round pick since 2016, and a defensive player."--Jourdanby JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
Still lots of great D players available at #19.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
Looks like a very good player, but not special. Certainly not special enough to give up two #1s.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
They can get a top 5 defensive player, at worst. Sure hope they take advantage.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
Didn't say. With Fuaga to Saints, that's 14 straight offensive players. Amazing. Rams can get a top 5 defensive player, at worst. Hope they take advantage.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
Falcs said no. Broncos said no and are taking Nix. Yet ANOTHER offensive player.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
Has to be a record.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteRamsdude QuoteJYB I think he probably feels like he ain't foolin anybody by trying to bluff on something that seems obvious to most, which is that they have a 3-year window they're focusing on and grooming a new QB is not part of those plans. I agree with all that JYB. :thumbsup Maybe next year or the following one a "replacement QB" will be addressed with more meaning...but nby JYB - RamsFootballFans.com

I don't get the hype over Odunze, either. But people who know a lot more about football than I do love him, so I wouldn't complain. But I do not want Odunze and I want Bowers even less. Bowers is a tweener and is really more of an oversized receiver than a tight end, albeit a very good one. How many times has a top ten TE been tagged as the next great thing only to disappoint?by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
Snead said their focus will be to put pieces around Stafford, not look for his eventual replacement.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
When it starts getting to the middle rounds and we start drafting players I never heard of, my first stop is Dead's and Alyo's lists to find out about them. Whatever happened to Paul Butcher, btw? He used to do lots of draft analysis, too.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteOld Goat Considering who started for us last year, we've definitely upgraded our backfield. Significantly. Like everyone else, it's all contingent on staying healthy. That doesn't take away from what our own Less Snead said about the fact that we were unable to sustain enough pressure to help those guys out. Yet no moves to address that in FA. I'll be sorely disappointed if we pick WR orby JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
... and it seems the Rams are myopically focused on the next three years (likely Stafford's last), then Latu makes the most sense. He's pro ready, he played college right in their backyard, his first and last name begin with "LA" and his neck issues likely won't be an issue in the near term.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
Will keep this list (and Alyos') close by on draft day. Thanks for sharing.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteBerendsenRam While he is here, they are in the present. GO RAMS! Totally agree. They're not thinking of a distant future when they have a SB window open right now, and they will use premium picks on players that will improve the team during that SB window.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
Yeah, other than the few at the very top of the list, the rest are based on projection, potential -- not actual accomplishments or proven success.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
