Yeah, he’s always pretty creative, but I think this offseason he will be a virtuoso.
He will have to be in this last SB window season before Goff gets extended.
My predictions:
At least one trade for a starter, maybe more. Probably pick for player, probably a D player.
Lion’s share of offseason moves will be devoted to D. Duh!
I expect Barron for sure to be a cap casualty. Possibly Brockers, too. Rams will be ruthless.
Rams will let Fowler and Saffold walk UNLESS they agree to cap friendly numbers. Simply no other choice for the Rams. I really like both players but business is business. Rams now draft well and are fairly confident that they can find quality players to replace them with.
Rams will lean on 2nd tier FA’s for maybe a couple of starting positions. Ram coaches excel at developing and scheming players and the experience factor for incoming FA’s is highly valued.
I expect 5 new D starters next season, unless Fowler is extended. Both edge players, ILB, DL, and FS.
Snead will trade down from #31 if he possibly can. Just depends on whether there’s a trade partner. In any case, I expect Snead to trade down later in the draft, probably more than once. I bet we wind up with 10 or more picks.
It wouldn’t floor me if Snead traded away Peters. Not predicting it, just saying that it might be 30-35% likely. Peters is not untouchable. It depends on what Wade wants, tbh.
I expect improved DL play under coach Henderson. Noticeably improved.
LB play better improve next season or Joe Barry is a goner. I’m halfway surprised Barry was’t fired along with Johnson, tbh.
Can’t believe we started the ‘18 season with Ebu and Longacre as edge starters. McVay/Wade will NOT enter the ‘19 season weak at both edge starters. This is offseason Job One.
Edge or DT will be our first pick, unless somehow both have been fully addressed via trade or FA.
Sully will be opening day starter at C, but will be replaced by Allen at some point in mid season. Kromer loves Allen.
If Saffold extends, then Boom will be our starter at RG. If Saffold walks, Boom will be our starter at LG and Blythe remains at RG.
Malcolm Brown will extend and CJ will be gone. A RB will be drafted later rounds in this draft.
Brandon Allen will be our backup QB while Mannion departs. Doubt if a QB from this weak class is the backup plan.
Our first pick will NOT be one of the following positions:
RB
QB
C
OG
OT
TE
WR
Probably not CB, either. Value/need not there.
McVay will have come up with a counter to the Patriot, Bears, and Lions D schemes by opening day.
Goff will have his best year yet.
Rams will have 3 WR’s exceed 1000 yards.
All due respect to Ebu, Obo, and Kiser, but none of these 3 are likely to be starters this season, certainly by opening day. All 3 have to win me over.
JJ will be voted to the Pro Bowl this year.
Rams will have 50+ sacks after adding 4 new players on their front 7.
Rams will have a top 3 D in ‘19 if they add those 5 new starters I listed.
Rams sweep the division again.
Rams finish 13-3 again.
Rams not only return to the SB, but they win it!
Wade then retires.
These bold enough for y’all? Lol.
Okay, what did I miss? Your thoughts or comments wanted, because some of mine are controversial, to say the least.
