Assuming player grades are more or less equal at #23, of course.

I see lots of discussion about cornerback, edge rusher, as our pick in the first round. But nose tackle, not so much... Why is that?

If a suitable nose tackle is there at number 23, is it not possible that that would provide the most bang for our buck? I mean, think about it.

Suitable nose tackle would “finish“ our DL. And wouldn’t it make our linebackers and cornerbacks even more effective?

I think it’s a legit question. Is a near elite NT a bigger help to our D than a near elite LB? At least on run D? Perhaps a bigger boon to our CB’s, too?

Food for thought, anyway. Or is this a chicken vs egg thing?

Probably will come down to who falls, I guess.

Any ideas out there on this?

Which would pay dividends quicker? A rookie DT or a Vet DT via free agency? Not sure who will be available yet so it's hard to tell right now but good question 43. smiling smiley





#HelmetHornsMatter

“Well, the color is good, I like the metallic blue,” Youngblood recently said while laughing, via NFL Journal. “The horn is terrible. It looks like a ‘C.’ When I first saw it on the logo I honestly thought it was a Charger logo.

“Now when I see it on the helmet, it just isn’t a ram horn. There is no distinct curl like a mature ram horn. I don’t know how the Rams could get that wrong. That is your symbol and it has been for what? Seventy years or more? Longer than I have been alive? It’s just not us, it’s not the Rams.”---Mr. Ram Jack Youngblood
