If Lawrence is there at 31.... can't imagine a better scenario for us.. in fact if he's not there....I'd be inclined for us to trade down into the 2nd round and add pick..by LA_Ram_#29 - RamsFootballFans.com

in a regular season game? Well, our coaching staff saw enough in last year's draft class to basically have 3 of them lined up as potential starters next season in Kiser, Noteboom and Allen...with John Franklin Myers looking to play a major role next year as well.... Traven Howard, Justin Lawler, and Sebastian Joseph are all looking to be in the rotation next season on defense as well... Soby LA_Ram_#29 - RamsFootballFans.com
I don't like some of our play calling down there... we throw too much down there for my taste.... Everett and Higbee continuing to develop as receivers....and running the ball more will go a long way to improving our numbers down thereby LA_Ram_#29 - RamsFootballFans.com
saw a mock where the Rams actually trade back into the 2nd round and draft Lawrence there...but to me if he's there at 31..you take him...he's a talent at that spot, and we need a guy there.... want us to draft an ILB and some O-line depth with those next 2 picks.... I'm guessing we need a corner ...I'd like a RB who could also be a kick return guy as well.... we've been on a solid stby LA_Ram_#29 - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotealyoshamucci Only doing 3 this year. The first pick is a big deal, because if we don't go edge there, the odds of finding someone who can contribute this year and be ready to start and have an impact next year. The main thing I WANT is to give AD someone who will make noise so that he's not the lone pressure. I am not satisfied with Fowler ... he's inconsistent.

but I've seen more than one mock with us getting Dexter Lawrence... .. I'm trying not to get to excited about that possibility because I think he may not last to 31....and if we traded out back to the 2nd...I mean that would be risky... but Lawrence would be exactly what our D-Line needsby LA_Ram_#29 - RamsFootballFans.com
I'd assume Edge rusher is out of consideration for those first 3 picks.. my guess is that we got DT/NT..... ILB...and OL with those first 3 picksby LA_Ram_#29 - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotejemach Being undersized was the problem because Littleton is not a physical LB who can step up in the hole fight off a block and stop the run. You cannot have to guys who are better going side to side than north and south. Actually, I thought Barron was more physical than Littleton but I like Littleton's game better at this time.

QuoteRams_81 Bortles has been a bad QB for 5 solid years Other than our coach being able to coach players up, what makes anybody think he is our best choice for a backup QB? The way I look at it is some unknown backup who has never played has a better chance of being a good QB versus somebody that has been bad for 5 straight seasons. I do not get the logic.

Littleton....Blythe.... Everett.... Kupp…. Johnson.... our coaches and front office have every reason to feel confident about our players evaluation recently...by LA_Ram_#29 - RamsFootballFans.com
We've been scoring with draft picks the last few years.... Johnson...Kupp… we have found some gems in the draft and inexpensive free agents... I say give those youngsters shot.... if they continue our streak of young guys who step up to be positive starters...that saves us money and allows us to spend our resources in other places...by LA_Ram_#29 - RamsFootballFans.com
I'd like to see Allen get a real chance... We've been doing pretty well giving young guys a chance to take over and start.... hopefully we keep it upby LA_Ram_#29 - RamsFootballFans.com
but we kept him a year too long...obviously the cap hit is better now...and you couldn't have traded him last year because he was hurt... but Barron as an undersized ILB really hurt us at times. He simply gets swallowed up by big bodies and is THE primary reason why our run defense wasn't what it should have been these last few years.

QuoteSunTzu_vs_Camus couldn't agree more, I see it the same way. The Rams have the luxury of 3 very good WRs and that's why McVay went from his 2 TEs preference in Wash to 3WR scheme most of the time in LA. imo I think 3 WRs allow for more chances for "explosives"....big plays of 20yds or more... I think that's Mcvay's first choice of play....them the 2 TE sets ala Redskiby LA_Ram_#29 - RamsFootballFans.com

Quotejemach you think we have 2 good TEs. That is just...wrong. And how anyone comes to that conclusion, defies...everything. We don't throw to them because they aren't real weapons.
