Austin Blythe was cut because his rookie year wasn't great.
Littleton certainly didn't do anything great his rookie year.
Brown didn't do much either.
Havenstein was pretty average at best.
But after a year's development, they all played far better.
I have no idea what will happen with Kiser or Obo. I do know that last year Obo was considered Huddle Report's best OLB pass rusher coming out of school.
A year of NFL training, training camp, weight room, and teaching is HUGE...... provided the talent and desire is there.
We'll see. But what I don't get is the pessimism. They barely got on the field if at all (because they had good vets ahead of them or they were injured); so there is nothing to gauge them by except where they might have played some STs. But even then, STs is not the same as a spot in the D rotation.
In 2018 the Rams handpicked some players to redshirt for 2019 or 2020.
Truth is, no one knows anything about them beyond ordinary draft year scouting stuff. No one knows who will develop and who won't. Let's put it this way--to me, the poster who we should listen to about the possibilities of Allen, Kiser etc. coming through or not is the guy who predicted in advance the Rams would make players out of Littleton and Blythe. Anyway the 2018 redshirt guys is a long list, and if they end up with even just 3 eventual starters, that's doing very well.
They are
Noteboom
Allen
Franklin-Myers
Kiser
Okoronkwo
Kelly
Demby
Joseph-Day
(I don't count the final 3 draft picks, they are longshots).
As of right now, we do know that reporters in touch with the team like VB say that the Rams see promise in guys like Noteboom, Allen, Kiser, and Joseph-Day.
The odds are against 3 of those 8 guys becoming players, but I think it will be AT LEAST 3. And yet anything more than 3 is pure gravy.
