How would you use Rams cap and picks
Here's what I'd do...
CAP SPACE $46.3M
CUTS
$13.0M - Robert Quinn. Too expensive and downside of career.
$03.0M - Tavon Austin. Not even used when the games counted.
SIGN
-$8.0M (Jimmy Graham) Another weapon for Goff and addt'l vet presence for offense.
-$10.0M (Nate Solder) Played both RT and LT. Can start at RT then take over at LT when Whit retires.
-$11.0M (Sammy Watkins) Deep threat this offense needs. Will even have better production when chem with Goff improves.
-$19.0M - Aaron Donald extension.
$06.9M - Aaron Donald old contract off the books.
Spend around -$16.0M total for these guys.
- Malcom Brown, John Sullivan, Cornelius Lucas, Jake McQuaide
- Dominic Easley, Tyrunn Walker, Matt Longacre
- LaMarcus Joyner, Nickell Robey-Coleman, Troy Hill
That still leaves close to $06.0M for rookies and other signings.
For draft, I would trade down to get an extra 3rd. Quinn, Barwin and Trujo are out so for my first 3 picks I'm targeting two OLB's and a CB. I would target Harold Landry early second and Marcell Frazier with one of my 3rd's.
Super Bowl here we come!
Go Rams!
I'd forget about Solder. I'm still gun shy about paying OL.
I woudn't pay Watkins either. I just don't think he fits in this offense. That goes double with the addition of Graham, who I adore .
I think locking up a CB is the top priority. If that's TruJo or someone else I don't care but they need a CB with one of those projected double digit contracts.
Agree on Quinn and Austin.
Gotta sign Joyner.
