1) depth oline
2) depth behind Adams and Nacua
3) Rams ILB are the most athletic and while there was huge improvement last year over Reeder/Rooseboom... they could still do better than IMO than Speights
4) I don't love Lake in coverage, I don't trust Forbes to fill in should either McDuffie or Watson get injured and I don't love him as CB3/4... and they need another one
5) Behind Stafford, there is Simpson and Bennett (right now)
Those are all legitimate questions and or issues on a team that is otherwise everywhere else stacked
Re the trade the Rams paid a lot... but they always do... and teams know the Rams will pay a lot. IMO the 1, 2, and 3 should have gotten this done or Verse and the 1
The ILB situation is concerning.
Given the amount of pass rush we are going to unleash, that means we'll be seeing a lot of short, quick passes from opposing offenses. Landman isn't a great cover guy, and I agree that Lake can be problematic as well. I'm just seeing us facing a lot of dink and dunk to the flat and short zone that neuters our pass rush.
