That’s why they wisely avoided trading up. Now, we either take a great player at 36 or we trade down modestly and take a great player at our landing spot, pocketing a late 3rd or early 4th in the process. Rams are playing chess so far in this draft.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Ari Meirov @MySportsUpdate · Follow #Seahawks HC Pete Carroll told @JeffDarlington that he has spoken to Geno Smith and mentioned there is a possibility they could take a quarterback tonight. Jalen Carter has also been linked to Seattle -- and no one is ruling out a possible trade down. 4:31 PM · Apr 27, 2023by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteThe Professor The rams are the only team in the league that does not have a punter on the roster. They are also so the only team that does not have a kicker. They should be talking to punters and kickers during the 5th, 6th and 7th rounds. We don't have as much UDFA money as each team has the same amount and we are likely bringing in more than other teams, but we can honestly tell any kickerby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteRidgewood Ram Serious question. Do you watch the OL play or do you just pretend to be an expert about everything Rams? If you think the OL is fine, then you clearly have no clue. I’m on record as desiring an upgrade at OC. A player that can beat out Shelton. But I want Edge and CB at 36 even more. Maybe TE, RB, WR, second Edge/CB could be higher rated players at 77 than any availableby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteJimYoungblood53 but take Dead's and Aylo's opinions--used them to make picks-over PFF's grades I can certainly understand why you would do that. I trust our board gurus infinitely more than PFF on Ram matters.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
I suspect that we’re all gonna be thrilled with our options at 36. I would be happy with any of these paths that Snead/McVay might choose there: Trade down Edge CB TE RB OL DL If they’ve got a guy that they love most and they think he’s a ‘difference maker’ at ANY of those positions then I could support such a decision.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
That looks like a helluva good Ram draft to me, 53. Loved the trades. Needs and value masterpiece, man. We should be so lucky.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

3 worst-case scenarios for the LA Rams in the 2023 NFL Draft Justin Fried The LA Rams are gearing up for what promises to be one of the most important drafts in franchise history. The organization is entering a new era — one that they hope will be spearheaded by some of the players they add in the 2023 NFL Draft.

QuoteRidgewood Ram That OL would be like the worst in the NFL. Not sure how anyone can feel good about that line. Do you seriously think that those current 9 constitute the worst OL in the NFL? Serious question. Or are you trying to amuse yourself by trolling all of us?by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Here’s Merlin… So as it pertains to our roster I think there are some distinct directions we need to go if we want to turn this thing around quickly. In a few days' time hopefully we are looking at these additions and seeing that the following are areas we have improved significantly: 1. Physicality in the defensive front. AD can two gap and does it quite well but it's not ideal to have a gby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRamsdude QuoteRams43 I read that Akers was the top rushing RB in the entire league in those final 5 games. If that isn’t ‘great’ then I don’t know what is.

Quoteoldschoolramfan I get it 43......Snead's "F" those picks, but he can say "USE" those picks this year as well. Thinking outside the box here. But, can you trade up 2-3 picks, using NEXT YEARS RD3 and this years #36? Just wondering....... Sure, you Could. But don’t you suppose we’ll need those ‘24 picks desperately in ‘24, too?

QuoteRamsdude You're gonna need it! Our OL doesn't look like it is going to be scaring anyone and will struggle opening holes for you. We might even have to make Tutu stay in and block some for you too so that might help. lol Now add in the fact our WR's aren't scaring anyone either this year, defenses will be geared to stop the run and will double up Kupp on the backend to make your job eby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Would be a colossal strategic blunder and would cost at least one immediate starter from this draft in the process. Would ultimately far exceed the Atwell/Humphrey blunder in long term effect, imo.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Not with all the terrific players that will be sitting there, and ESPECIALLY with all the Rams needs. Spending badly needed picks in a trade up would be a massive self inflicted wound that Rams would regret for maybe 10 years. This simply cannot be overstated. A modest trade down is the smart play as has been discussed many times. That’s my strong opinion, anyway.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRamgator Stafford was 2 for 2 with concussions on his last two starts......He is older and getting older. Rams ARE gonna be looking for a new / young QB in the very near future.

Specifically down from 36 or 69 and up from the 5th on Day 3 to get back into the 4th. This is a semi-bank it. Lol. If such trades are humanly possible, Snead will do them.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
For example, I’ve seen rankings on CB’s for Rams in this draft with man skills and noted for aggressiveness. But if Morris is gonna run same scheme, why bother? It’s a chicken or egg kinda thing, isn’t it? If they get right players couldn’t they run a more aggressive scheme? Especially with Pleasant and Lake onboard? Otherwise, they best get beastly Edge players (2 of them) and load up tby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
I’m now inclined to think that now it is perhaps not only possible but quite likely. And I would love to grab a stud OC for this offense. Sigh… But I would love to add a promising CB or Edge even more. Those are the harder to fill ‘difference maker’ positions and make the most sense at 36 and 69. So that moves my OC back to pick 77. But wait! The value OC’s probably won’t go that deep anby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
