Rams named 4th most talented team in NFLBy Cameron DaSilva
Gil Brandt of NFL Media recently ranked the 10 most talented teams in football and not surprisingly, the Rams made the list. It would’ve been criminal to leave them out of the top 10, but Brandt is confident enough to put them in the top five.
He ranked the Rams fourth behind only the Eagles, Cowboys and Bears – all NFC contenders who the Rams will likely have to beat to win it all.
Here’s part of what Brandt had to say about the Rams:
Arguably no team in the NFL has better long-term personnel vision than the Rams. As an example: Seeing that the 2019 draft and free-agent classes would be light in receiver and cornerback prospects, they moved aggressively on the trade market in 2018, acquiring receiver Brandin Cooks and cornerbacks Aqib Talib and Marcus Peters. Using trades rather than free agency to address these needs also allowed L.A. to collect extra compensatory picks this year. Of course, the Rams have done well in the draft (the collection of homegrown talent includes Aaron Donald, Todd Gurley, Jared Goff, Cooper Kupp, Rob Havenstein, Joseph Noteboom, Brian Allen and Michael Brockers) and in free agency (the signings of left tackle Andrew Whitworth and receiver Robert Woods couldn’t have gone much better than they did).Go to Full Article--
