I don't believe the roster churning is over.

We need to have learned by now that the Rams FO (and coaching staff) is very tight lipped about its interest in picking up certain players. We'll never hear anything before they pick him up or work him out.

And I firmly believe that between now and opening day, we'll see some turnover. I suspect it won't really start until after the 3rd preseason game when teams know exactly who'll they keep and who'll they release. There's always a few vet surprises who hit the market, and sometimes a team will part ways with a 6th or 7th to get a guy that another team has signaled they're going to let go. I don't know exactly who and where, but I have a couple of hunches.
I think I could occur on the Oline, with a versatile veteran guy who can play Tackle and Guard. I think the Rams are very vulnerable at LOT if anything were to happen to Whit.

I also think that if the right WR was to come available, a guy who can take the top off the secondary, they might make a move. Could even happen at RB as it looks more and more like the Dunbar signing was a complete waste (how the heck do you not know a RB has a recurring knee problem?)

I'm not so sure LB isn't open as well. After Quinn and Barwin, we don't have much. After Ogletree and Barron, who? A bunch of JAGs as far as I can tell.

What we don't know is how patient McVay is willing to be to let young guys develop....or bust. For sure this 1st year is a honeymoon year for him. If there is any pressure, it is the expectation that the offense will improve and at least be more fun to watch. Wins, not so much. So he may be quite patient. On the other hand, if there's a player available that can upgrade a position especially on offense, I'm sure McVay would like the Rams to pursue him.
