I think that's fair. There's inherent risks. But if White is worse than Witherspoon or Kendrick I'll be very surprised. And we're a zone heavy team. Zone corners don't need the same level of athleticism as man guys. And the guy who did his surgery is our team doctor. If his medicals are off the Rams would know.by Ram_Ruler - RamsFootballFans.com
7 years in the league. The left two have been injuries. That means he's been healthy most of his career.by Ram_Ruler - RamsFootballFans.com
An Achilles and an ACL. Can't really predict that. He had been pretty healthy to to that point.by Ram_Ruler - RamsFootballFans.com
I trust Williams, White, and Curl back there!by Ram_Ruler - RamsFootballFans.com
He didn't show enough to just assume he'll be the other starting corner. I think 2024 is a project year for him no matter what. If he finds his way onto the field then hopefully he shows something. But I think we need to take a chance on a vet first.by Ram_Ruler - RamsFootballFans.com
Yeah it will never fully grow on me. I like the thicker horn though and if they just changed that stupid font I think I could at least get over it.by Ram_Ruler - RamsFootballFans.com
Can't put my finger on what they did to change it. Looks like the horn is thicker or something? It definitely looks more real. The 'LA' is still ugly though.by Ram_Ruler - RamsFootballFans.com
He's probably already a better run blocker than Jackson and maybe even a better pass blocker too.by Ram_Ruler - RamsFootballFans.com
I know he played that star role last year but the sample size was pretty small. It would be nice to have two versatile defensive backs. Like curl is going to do everything from safety to linebacker from time to time from how it was explained. I wonder if you can get all three of them on the field at the same time? Yeast would be an odd man out I assume.by Ram_Ruler - RamsFootballFans.com

Yeah I'm hoping for a big investment on defense in the draft but if it's Fautanu or an elite receiver I won't complain lol. One of the few benefits of picking so late (other than the fact that it means your team is pretty good) is that you just get to sit back and let the draft happen to you. I think there's going to be a huge run on offensive line and quarterback so if we want to upgrade receiveby Ram_Ruler - RamsFootballFans.com
I think the Rams want to be competent on defense but they aren't concerned with being an elite unit. I think that's true in now they spent the money.by Ram_Ruler - RamsFootballFans.com
They want their offense to be the identity. It can work, especially if they hit on their draft picks. This is why I don't rule out receiver in round one and I don't rule out them not using their first round pick on an edge either. I think they want to be unstoppable on offense and at least stoppable with their defense.by Ram_Ruler - RamsFootballFans.com
I'll listen to it in the gym tomorrow. Thanks!by Ram_Ruler - RamsFootballFans.com
I'll be really intrigued to see how they handle the draft this year. Especially because I don't think that they value the line the way we do. Which is totally okay to me. I'm from Maryland and the Ravens tend to do just fine by adding Band-Aids at edge. If the Rams went into the first two rounds and drafted a safety in a corner then I wouldn't be completely opposed to it. I really really want anby Ram_Ruler - RamsFootballFans.com
So apparently Donald made it known after the Lions game that he was retiring. However going into free agency the Rams didn't make many attempts to upgrade a defensive line. Do you think that this is a sign that defensive line is less of a priority to them than other teams? And how anxious would you feel if they decided to wait until the second or third round to address the other edge position?by Ram_Ruler - RamsFootballFans.com
Guard or right tackle. And Williams isn't getting younger.by Ram_Ruler - RamsFootballFans.com
I'm still wiping the egg off my face from laughing at jourdan when she suggested he might retire. I figured he would've let them know well before he did it they were the case. Well here we are. But I don't have much doubt that if the Rams have him a new real he'd find the yearning to play again. The only real question is if the Rams want to actually do it.by Ram_Ruler - RamsFootballFans.com
Lol take a nap until August and we'll have a dream team by the time you wake up.by Ram_Ruler - RamsFootballFans.com
Raiders and rams have similar cap space. Suppose we'll see who bites.by Ram_Ruler - RamsFootballFans.com

Veteran for our secondary means we go past rush in the draft?by Ram_Ruler - RamsFootballFans.com
Unless maybe they genuinely is his weight. He'd have to be the lightest offensive tackle in NFL history though right? Edit: he weighed 321 at the combine. No way he's 285.by Ram_Ruler - RamsFootballFans.com
It's a business. Maximize your profits. I'm glad the Rams said enough, if it really went down that way.by Ram_Ruler - RamsFootballFans.com
And let's be honest, Aaron Donald isn't Chris Jones right now. In our hearts, yes lol. But on the field Jones has been healthier and better the last two seasons.by Ram_Ruler - RamsFootballFans.com
AD held out twice and threatened to retire in 2021 until he got his new money. At some point you put your foot down.by Ram_Ruler - RamsFootballFans.com
It's not out of the realm of possibility. The ravens are one of the teams off the top of my head that do it this way. Last year their starting edge rushers were Clowney and Van Noy. It was their secondary that stole the show. This has been a topic of conversation analytically among a lot of circles as well. Some people think that coverage is more impactful than pass rush but less predictable fromby Ram_Ruler - RamsFootballFans.com
I was very confused about the Rams saying that age and price was going to matter when looking for edge rushers. I figured that if they thought this was their super bowl window they just need to find a pass rusher who can win right now. But with the Aaron Donald news it kind of makes more sense. No need to invest big money into older players on this defense. Only young guys who can be foundationalby Ram_Ruler - RamsFootballFans.com
We have to nail the rest of free agency and this draft but Turner, Young, and (Latu? Verse? Free agent?) is still a formidable defensive line. They need to quadruple down on the secondary though. Or we're hosed.by Ram_Ruler - RamsFootballFans.com
I was a senior I'm college when AD was drafted. I'm fully into my career now. Loved watching him and glad he's gonna get to be healthy and with his family.by Ram_Ruler - RamsFootballFans.com
