I have 3 categories of ‘new’ (or near new) Ram players already…

Here are my 3 categories. ‘Already sold as good to great additions’, ‘looking good so far but not completely sold’, ‘need to see more on field evidence’.

‘Already sold’ on these guys because I’ve seen/heard enough. In no particular order:

Allen Robinson. Gonna be a beast. Has a Kupp-like perfectionist mind set. Been practically uncoverable, including red zone. Tremendous signing.
Joe Noteboom. Never had a doubt, really, but all feedback has been superlative.
Bobby Wagner. Duh! Never much doubt in 1st place but feedback has exceeded expectations. Morris is gonna love him. Great signing.
Decobie Durant. A Snead HR in the 4th. I’m sold already. Might contribute this year and probably future quality starter. Emphasis ‘quality’. Ball hawk.
Derion Kendrick. Another Snead HR this time in the 6th. Possible future starter. Another ball hawk.
Nick Scott. Talk about exceeding expectations. The speed, instincts, ints, and that bone jarring hit on Deebo. He’s a starter this year, imo.
Brandon Powell. He’s our returner, dammit! Potentially an All Pro returner. He makes the 53 for sure. Fuggeddaboudit…

Now for the ‘looking good so far but not completely sold just yet’ Again, no particular order:

Logan Bruss. Future starter, I think, but might not be by opening day. Or even this year. Quality 3rd round pick, though.
Kendall Blanton. Good feedback so far. Seems to be picking up where he left off in playoffs last year. Slight favorite for #2 TE, I think.
Brycen Hopkins. Just a slight tick behind Blanton. Good feedback so far. Apparently, Rams knew what they were doing when they focused on other positions this offseason.
Tutu Atwell. I was not a big fan after last year’s fiasco, but it’s hard to ignore the consistent positive reviews that have been coming in from everybody. Still skeptical but would love to have been wrong.
Alaric Jackson. I’m pretty sold on this kid, but I would like to see just a few more snaps before I’m completely all in.
Terrell Lewis. Goodness, so many strong positive reviews from everybody. Players, coaches, beat writers, and camp reporters. Do we dare hope for a healthy Lewis blasting out this year?
Troy Hill. I consider him a 1 year bridge CB, but a helluva good one at that. VERY good in that role. Ramsey loves him.
Robert Rochell. Flashing at times but needs more consistency, don’t you think? Unbelievable physical gifts, hopefully they translate.
Justin Hollins. I think Rams really like him. I’m cautiously optimistic that he will be adequate at edge this year.

Now for the ‘unsure, need to see more’ guys:

Kyren Williams. Love the potential. Only pick Rams traded up for, but gotta stay healthy and available.
Daniel Hardy. There’s a ton of potential here and his head is screwed on right. Gotta earn those on-field snaps, though.
Chris Garrett. Is he legit or is he a preseason tease? We’ll see.
Bobby Brown III. Can he get his act together and reach his considerable potential? Last year underwhelmed and now the PED suspension followed by being out of shape in practice? C’mon…
Jacob Harris. Another tease so far. When will ‘rawness’ disappear? There’s a genuine opportunity for snaps if he can pull it together.


Well, those are my3 categories as of August 4th. Things will solidify as we move closer to opening day.

Thoughts?
