Let's be honest here, there is a ton of work to do on this team and I hope they are ready to make the change and be aggressive and that includes the coaching staff too.
1.
The Offensive Line. Is Alaric Jackson going to be the LT or is he not going to be the guy? If not, they need to draft someone and maybe they might luck into one falling into their laps plus the Rams need a dependable swing tackle. I was hopeful when the drafted Warren McClendon from Georgia, who seemed to be a solid RT, but that has not transcended to the n xt level and Rob Havenstein is not getting any younger. They can finally say goodbye to the unreliable Joe Noteboom.
2.
Inside Linebacker. It is time to invest in this position and there will be plenty of options available. Maybe they look at a Sonny Styles from Ohio State, who is a converted safety, but they also could use someone that is a thumper that actually makes RB's fear instead of looking forward to run wild one anyone the Rams currently have on the roster.
3.
Tight End Threat. I believe the Rams have felt they needed an upgrade here for awhile, but have not been able to land their guy. This will also aid the WR's because the Rams need to work on throwing the ball downfield because presently it is more of the short and intermediate routes.
4.
Special Teams. I want Chase Blackburn gone and hire someone that actually has a plan and can work with both specialists to improve their play. Karty seemed fine coming out of college and initially looked just fine, but he has regressed and the coaching has to be held accountable. If the new ST Coach wants to move on from Karty, that is fine, but I want a fresh set of eyes on this unit in every, shape, way & form.
5.
Quarterback of the future. I might wait one more year as I believe Stafford still has the goods and if you build an OL that can actually protect, then he will be even better. I do not believe in Bennett and would look to add another backup like they did with Jimmy Garoppolo, but my focus would be the 2026 draft or if someone slips this year like Drew Allar of Penn State, but I think he is going to stay another year.
6.
Coaching Staff Changes, obviously Blackburn, then I would move on from TE Coach Nick Caley plus inside Linebacker Coach Greg Williams is where I would start with everything else up for debate.
