Clearly, there will be a return of the black/midnight rivalry jersey AND two more alternates.

Strange to delay the release of the alternates. Makes today's announcement a bit anticlimactic.

Teams who need QBs, need them NOW. Who will be at the top a year from now, especially as concerns those who draft for their teams, is speculating on speculation when they do that. Heck; it's hard enough come draft time to figure out who is going to do well with the current crop because that itself is speculative.

I think this next-year stuff is mostly media and fan talk. The smart and experienced GMs know better than to have this "next year" mentality for something they need today.

Where I'm leading is this: I think Simpson is going somewhere in the first round, maybe even higher than where I think he'll go. I also think that if he is there at 13, the Rams are going to get some calls from a team to move up and get him.... and I think one of the more likely is the Jets. They can use their top pick on a player with the far greater odds to succeed, and then acquire the 13th pick and take a swing with Simpson using their own lower first plus lower round picks. It significantly lowers the risk of choosing a QB and puts much less pressure on Simpson and the Jets FO to get him on the field in a hurry.]]> RockRam RamsFootballFans.comThu, 16 Apr 2026 16:46:43 -0400 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?23,1235624,1235624#msg-1235624 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?23,1235624,1235624#msg-1235624 BerendsenRam Rams ChroniclesThu, 16 Apr 2026 16:13:12 -0400 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1235610,1235610#msg-1235610 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1235610,1235610#msg-1235610

TRADE: Rams send pick 1(13) and a 2027 4th round pick to Chiefs for picks 1(29), 2(40) and 4(109).

Round 1(29): Denzel Boston, WR, Washington
Boston isn’t the burner that some desire, but he’ll fit our offense extremely well. He breaks tackles like Puka, embarrasses DBs in the Red Zone like Davante, and will quickly gain Stafford’s trust on 50/50 throws. Instant impact at the back of the first round.

Round 2(40): Anthony Hill, Jr., LB, Texas
One of my favorite players in the draft. He is a true playmaker (23.5 TFL, 12 sacks, 3 INTs in past two years) from the LB spot. Teamed up with Nate Landman in the middle, the ILB position would become one of strength.

Round 2(61): Caleb Tiernan, OT, Northwestern
Tiernan has good size (6’8, 323) and experience (43 starts), mostly at LT, with a few starts at RT. He’d provide a nice insurance policy on the OL and could develop into a starter in time.

Round 3(93): Tacario Davis, CB, Washington
His size (6’4, 194) and speed (4.41) jump off the page right away. While he’s not a shutdown man-to-man guy, his speed and length make him a good fit in a zone scheme, and he could also provide depth at FS.

Round 4(109): Darrell Jackson, Jr., DT, Florida State
Jackson would provide some NT depth behind Poona Ford. I’m not quite sold on either of our recent draftees (Tyler Davis, Ty Hamilton), so I’d like to bring in some competition.

Round 6(207): Barion Brown, WR, LSU
Brown would give us two things we don’t currently have. (1) A WR with true deep speed (4.40 at Combine) and (2) a real threat on KR (29.4 yards/return, 6 TDs in college).

Round 7(232): Caden Curry, EDGE, Ohio State
On a star-studded Buckeye defense, Curry lead the team with 11 sacks. The Rams like to rotate pass rushers, so Curry could find a similar role with the Rams.

Round 7(251): Dalton Johnson, S, Arizona
Johnson’s real value would be in kick coverage, an area that needs improvement from last year.

Round 7(252): Logan Taylor, OG, Boston College
Another experienced OL to add to our depth.]]> AvengerRam RamsFootballFans.comThu, 16 Apr 2026 14:22:27 -0400 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1235551,1235551#msg-1235551 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1235551,1235551#msg-1235551
Highlight play after highlight play. Looks best player on field. High catch point. Routes look good to me. Just imagining what he could do with a QB as good as Stafford and Puka and Devante taking away coverage.

Also, Tyson's an outside receiver. Devante's gone after this year. And may well miss games with injuries due to his age. I'd argue we need an outside receiver more than a slot type.]]> Glyndwr71 RamsFootballFans.comThu, 16 Apr 2026 17:55:45 -0400 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?4,1235545,1235545#msg-1235545 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?4,1235545,1235545#msg-1235545

Most are still predicting only 2 CB, 1 IOL, 1 TE, 1 RB, and at most 2 ILB in the entire 1st round. So, when you stack it up, WR, OT and CB are going to be coveted. Although, probably 2 and has high as 3 safeties may also go in the 1st round, Downs for sure in the top 10 somewhere.

13 sits at a sweet spot, partly because it won't be horribly unaffordable. There you are likely to get: 1 of the top 3 WRs (assuming Tyson's medicals don't kill him or his workout is suspect), or 1 of the top 3 OTs, or 1 of the top 2 CBs, or the 2nd or 3rd Safety (all top 3 highly rated), or the only 1st round TE. The conjecture seems to be that the #1 IDL won't come off the board until the bottom 10 of the 1st round... just more reasons that WR, Edge and OTs are going to come off the board in waves very early in the 1st round. So, if a team wants one of those, they better jump at a trade up to the 11 - 15 range.

Assuming offers happen, it makes me wonder how Les will weigh them out. He just might demand a 1 next year plus something like a 3rd or 4th this year just to drop 3 or 4 spots. I still think the Jets will be in play to trade up, and I already posted what I think they could offer that makes sense (but not a 1st round next year). On the other hand, the Jets have THREE 1st rounders next year. So, we'll see.

Going to be pretty interesting on draft day #1.]]> RockRam RamsFootballFans.comThu, 16 Apr 2026 17:10:44 -0400 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1235464,1235464#msg-1235464 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1235464,1235464#msg-1235464

what a crazy story

2. As much talent as the Rams already have, and as much as they are likely to obtain, I can say, in all candor, that I remain GREEDY.

3. I want a talented WR3 (future WR2). I want an upgrade at ILB. I want another CB. Another pass rusher. OL depth. A punt/kick returner. And maybe even a developmental QB.

4. As the Rolling Stones once sang... you can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you might find, you get what you need.

5. Or... screw that! Let's make some trades and get EVERYTHING!

6. Aye, there's the rub... to trade or not to trade.

7. On my FINAL draft board, I've reduced the "above the trade line" list to 7 prospects (Mendoza, Styles, Reese, Love, Bailey, Tate and Downs). Once those guys are gone, I'm listening to trade offers, with a particular interest in a trade that keeps us in Round 1, but adds Day 2 picks this year (not really looking to kick the can down the road again).

8. If I had to list one player who I really want, but might be difficult to obtain with our current picks, its Anthony Hill, Jr. I think he'd instantly and profoundly improve our defense (taking Omar Speights' spot, while reducing Nate Landman's workload).

9. The problem is that Hill probably won't last to pick #61 (if he did, I'd sprint to the podium to select him). If we were to trade back, we might find his sweet spot.

10. Here's my crazy thought, though (or, at least, a thought that I have not seen expressed that many might find crazy): I don't think Hill would be a bad pick at #13. There, I said it.

11. I really appreciate the work of our resident draftniks, particularly Deadpool and Alyo. You guys really do a deep dive, and I find your analysis very helpful.

12. I see CB as a high priority, notwithstanding the trade for Trent McDuffie and the signing of Jaylen Watson. Over the course of a season that hopefully will last 20-21 games, you can't have enough depth and talent at this essential position.

13. I also expect that we'll add another pass rusher. This could be as early as pick 13, if we're drafting from a pure BPA approach (i.e. Reuben Bain may be the best player available at that point).

14. I agree with those who have mentioned Kaden Wetjen and Eli Heidenreich as intriguing Day 3 sleepers (and potential special teams specialists).

15. Some other sleepers I'm keeping an eye on for Day 3: Bryce Boettcher, LB, Oregon; Nadame Tucker, EDGE, Western Michigan; Caden Curry, EDGE, Ohio State; Barion Brown, WR/KR, LSU

16. I don't know if Sean McVay would ever wish to add a RPO, Wildcat or "tush push" element to the offense (it would be tough to ask Matthew Stafford to leave the field), but... if they did, Taylen Green would be an intriguing prospect (poor man's Anthony Richardson). Worth a 6th/7th round pick?

17. Despite injury issues, I've added Jermod McCoy and Jordyn Tyson back on my board.

18. Four guys who are not on my board, perhaps surprisingly, are Akheem Mesidor (injury history, age), Zion Young (fit, off field issue), C.J. Allen (injury, fit) and Caleb Banks (overrated/bust potential). I recognize that I may look silly later if these guys succeed, but, as Dennis Miller used to say, that's just my opinion... I could be wrong.

19. I hope we get more clips of Les and Sean calling the prospects to tell them they're becoming Rams. Always love those.

20. One thing is certain... a very talented roster is about to get even more talented!

Disclaimer: Some people seem to get offended by the "lack of support in LA" talk so I want to be clear that I am not taking a shot at any of our loyal "super fans" here on the board.

I know this has been talked about before but Shanny is still mad about the Rams making them go to Australia. It seems the media is agreeing that the Rams asked for the whiners to avoid the "embarrassment" of Sofi being taken over again by the whiner fans.

Is this a "bad look" on the Rams? Are they really trying to avoid the whiner takeover that happens at Sofi every year???

If so, that tells me a lot about how the Rams FO and McVay feel about the "takeovers" at Sofi.

I know how I feel about about it and many others here as well. It's really is kind of "embarrassing" seeing these takeovers happen. We all have hear the "excuses" why and we all know it happens other places too, but when the Rams returned to LA, the mantra was "win and they will come". Well, I think we can honestly say we have been "winning" and have been consistently one of, if not the best teams on the league yet it still happens. There are plenty of fans in LA who do support their team and many of them are right here on this board who would never ever even consider selling tickets to whiner fans or any other team, no matter how high the profit is. Kudos to them for the unquestionable support. We need more fans like that in LA.

It's hilarious knowing that Shanny is p#ssed off about it. Poor whittle whiner babies won't have their usual home field advantage against us twice this year. lol

I think this will cause the rivalry to be even more intense going forward. Could this also cause a "riff" between Sean and Shanny??? Will the whiner fans try even harder to overtake Sofi next year because of this?

So in doing this I am prioritizing by projected roles on the field and in number of snaps.

1. WR3. Rams ran a lot of 12 last season in part because the TE room kicked the WR room's butts in that competition for snaps. They offered hands and great blocking, vs a chunk of depth wideouts that were largely ineffective. Rams WR room was basically 2 deep. So they need that third heat. The third weapon who can add something to the attack. Also we can include Puka concerns and the slot role with his injury history on top of that as well. Are those TEs ready to move the chains if Puka misses many games? And lastly on top of all that we need speed in this offense. Way too much living underneath which you know irritates McVay. It is possible this is two separate needs, those being an X addition and also a depth option behind Puka.

2. ILB. I'm still annoyed they paid Landman. Who by the way took a bit of a nosedive after achieving that security. We still lack speed and tackling in space off ball. And it's a problem vs any running QB we face in particular. Off ball speed is a big need to my eye. Front seven needs wheels behind that DL.

3. NT. Ford did a great job for us last year but the moment he got hurt our DL looked like the same old unit who can be pushed around. We need young beef and that big anchor who can put Ford into the depth rotation and deepen our entire front in the playoffs.

4. Swing OT. We have a hole in our roster at this spot, and the reason it's more important than other depth positions is because it affects the QB. If we lose an OT we're done. I have gone back and forth on this one. It may be higher than 4 on our list. Rams may have it at the top in fact, depending on to what extent they trust their OTs.

5. C. Shelton can be isolated and beaten. This is a problem in the playoffs for the Rams. If he's gonna draw a nose solo he's gonna lose. We need a Center with some gravitas to him, who can remove the ability of a defense to go with a 5 man front and destroy our Center position in pass sets.

6. S. I don't know where they're planning on playing or utilizing Lake this year. Will he be in the pairing? Or will he be our slot and maybe with some matchups slide into a different role. But it feels like we could use a safety with real ball skills for the back end.

7. QB. Not a huge need. Rather a depth type QB who projects well to backup Stafford in this offense. Someone who can be a game manager with some spunk to them to give the team a competitive lift and some mobility if he misses time. There's a couple mid to late who I think fit real nice.

8. Returner. Massive need, but it's teams so have this on the bottom. It's been an issue a long time, but maybe this will be the year they earmark a returner in their depth types they take late.]]> merlin RamsFootballFans.comWed, 15 Apr 2026 17:46:59 -0400
