Here’s BonifayRam…
Snead has already trashed canned one 2023 compensatory awards draft selection. I should state that he did the trashing for a all pro WR.
Gilmore is no longer an all-pro caliber outside corner but much more of trending downward towards early retirement. There are bonafide reasons/elements why Gilmore remains unsigned. My thought is he would be a big costly gamble to the Rams team in 2022 one the Rams should easily avoid! Gilmore has not been healthy since 2019. Over the last two seasons, Gilmore has started only 14 of 33 gms in which he was paid over $21 million.
I prefer that Snead keeps his current three 2023 prospective comp picks that he will receive two 5th rd'ers & a 6th rd for UFA's departed Darious Williams, Austin Corbett & SJ-D. Snead would be better to sit & wait ready to ambush any future released veteran corners that are sure to show up.
I would also delete any consideration of signing DE Clowney for his demands of $13 million a season & bring in DE Morgan Fox instead & draft several edge rushers to blend in with signed Floyd/ Hollins/ Lewis/ Garrett.
Meanwhile, I would suggest resigning our own outside reserve CB Donte Deayon as a possible 6th Ram corner on the Ram roster @ a Econo salary cap cost. I would keep an account of released corners Trae Waynes, A.J. Bouye & even Janoris Jenkins to see if one would sign a low ball, say approx. $3 million contract to be a possibility as DC Morris's veteran 5th relief corner to go with the 3 corners we have now Ramsey/ Rochell/Long. Snead seriously needs to draft 2 CB's with the eight 2022 picks. I would have no issues if the top 2022 selection is an outside corner.
