I love this pick. I predicted a few weeks ago that they would trade up for him but I never expected him to be available at 19. Wow, a lot of potential with him and I'm thrilled.by Ramboni - RamsFootballFans.com
Jake wanted a trade up for Bowers.by Ramboni - RamsFootballFans.com
My predictions are sound: there will be a lot of claims of "reaches" and "steals" and who the heck is that guy? With a few of "what were they thinking, they could have had xxx" and is anybody jumping in the pool tonight? I would prefer "I think I just died and went to heaven" with that pick but I doubt it. :spintoungeby Ramboni - RamsFootballFans.com
Exactly. The Rams may know what they would like to do but there are 100 different ways this thing could go down and nobody knows for certain, including the Rams. The "dream on" stage is about to slam right into real life tonight.by Ramboni - RamsFootballFans.com
I think it more of Schrager understanding how the Rams (McVay) think in terms of movement in the draft. As noted above, there is so much involved in who falls or who is there at 19 then an actual "fact based" rendition. Even the Rams don't know at this point and won't until later tonight. If these were real deals, they would have already been made. So hardly a "leak" simply aby Ramboni - RamsFootballFans.com
Peter Schrager's final mock this morning has the Rams trading down with KC for their 1st, 2nd and 4th round picks. Then at 32 they trade back again with New England for the Patriots 2nd and 3rd rounders. That would give them 14 picks total to use to move up later, I suspect. I would really like to have a 1st round pick but Schrager seems to have some inside info on the Rams, he's close to McVaby Ramboni - RamsFootballFans.com
Hey Dead, Thank you and always a great reference guide that I and many of us live for. Just outstanding. Quick question: I don't see Trey Benson in your list. I'm just an FFL guy but I think he may be better than most of the RB's in this draft. Your thoughts?by Ramboni - RamsFootballFans.com
Exactly, you beat me to the quote. He didn't say that, he said a lot of people said it. Goff is a pro, he has never criticized the Rams outside of saying it was a "sour" ending and we already knew that and agree. I hope he continues to excel and I pull for the Lions every week except when they play the Rams.by Ramboni - RamsFootballFans.com
Quoteroman18 the need some have to try and find the next what ever.....instead of seeing, enjoying, being surprised by an action or deed or whatever it must be replicated. It took over 60 years to do what Puka did and this guy is looking for the next one in the following year. Puka came out of now where, way over did anything even remotely thought possible and this guy has found another one?by Ramboni - RamsFootballFans.com
I like Penix also but there are major concerns about him that is driving his value down. His multiple ACL tears, is he durable? He's very slender and may not be able to take much of a pounding in the NFL. He's left-handed so that poses a challenge for some teams to adjust their offensive blocking schemes. He's 24. So the potential for further growth and development is a concern as leasby Ramboni - RamsFootballFans.com
Two of my grandsons are brothers and the eldest would "daddy" his kid brother, telling him what to do, say, act....they would get into it and the elder, a ranked HS state level wrestler, would always win. Today, that youngest one is a US Marine and nobody, including his brother, bullies him anymore.by Ramboni - RamsFootballFans.com
Looks like the Bills were really done with Diggs. They traded him, their 2024 sixth-round pick (No. 189 overall) and a 2025 fifth-round pick for 2nd in 2025. So they traded their star WR and 2 picks for a 2nd rounder. Good job, Texans, a 3 for 1.by Ramboni - RamsFootballFans.com
I think Justin Tucker still owns the NFL record at 66.by Ramboni - RamsFootballFans.com
If they can find a trading partner a couple or three picks before them in the 1st, I think they'll move up for Verse or Latu instead of risking neither being there at 19. If they can't find one, maybe try to move back for some picks and grab some DT/DE's then or later.by Ramboni - RamsFootballFans.com
I agree, it's just like the combine except those at least judge athletic ability. A college QB can throw or they wouldn't be on their team. These are like high school try outs....wow, he can throw far and accurate. Every QB in the NFL has passed these tests. But there are so many nuances required of a QB (and every position) that these just confirm what we already know. Just watch their tape.by Ramboni - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRockRam The world is not as it was pre-social media. It used to be that someone could keep something they felt was private, private, with little ramification. No more. A person or an organization in the public eye no longer has the ability to declare "privacy" and just bury something the public has interest in.

I love the first two picks also although I will stick to my prediction that the Rams move up a couple spots in the 1st Rd. for Verse. I fear that neither he nor Latu will be there at #19 and I hope they feel the need for the edge rusher in that spot. Failing that, Snead may try to move down a few spots for Newton at DT. They have spent a year getting Zach Evans ready at RB and he has a lot ofby Ramboni - RamsFootballFans.com

Wilson reminds me of a slightly smaller and faster Puka. The same age but a couple inches shorter, a few pounds lighter and also with roots in Hawaii. He's a great route runner with superb hands that are actually larger than Puka's, open field moves and tough to bring down. Would love to see him in horns.by Ramboni - RamsFootballFans.com
I agree, 43. Based on their past history of scouting and drafting WR's, there are only two that I saw pre-draft that I wanted them to select, Kupp and Nacua. I was excited for both but the rest were frankly, "meh". I would love to see them draft a larger guy but they just don't seem to find effective ones, they like the crisp route runners or speed merchants like Tutu, the latter not woby Ramboni - RamsFootballFans.com

Hacksaw Reynolds would be under consideration by me too.by Ramboni - RamsFootballFans.com
Excellent work, thank you! I pray that one of the big 3 edge rushers are there at 19. I love Ricky Pearsall at WR, he would be a great addition to the Rams roster. I also think Dillon Johnson will surprise some people. And finally, is there a better football name than "Steele Chambers"? Hopefully he can lock a few players up.by Ramboni - RamsFootballFans.com
I still think Les will trade up for one of the big 3 edge rushers but that should only take 3 or 4 spots with a team willing to move down. A 3rd would be more fitting to use than a 2nd round pick. In order to move down, they will need a team that first wants to move up so it is tougher in the first round than later because of the cost involved. I doubt anything happens before draft day thoughby Ramboni - RamsFootballFans.com
