Several things...
I just love JJ, but the money for him just isn’t there AND we are deep at S if he walks. Too many other positions need those cap dollars.
It’s possible that Hav’s replacement (even overall upgrade) is already on the roster. Boom, Evans, or Edwards?
Burgess is gonna be a starter this year. Might be nickel, might be at S, but he’s no longer a backup with Hill and JJ departing. Bank it.
Our secondary is gonna be Top 5 at least, even with the 2 departures.
Hav could be traded for player or pick. Wouldn’t surprise me one bit, in fact I make it better than 50-50 likely.
C will be addressed one way or another. I favor a Sully type FA for the short term, but they may use their 2nd on C if one of their targets falls. Stay tuned.
I expect a hungry FA to be signed as Floyd’s replacement and next in line to benefit from the AD Effect. And another edge player drafted among our top 3 picks, as well.
As to the much desired deep threat WR? I just don’t know what they’re thinking. Maybe they think Stafford could ignite a guy already on the roster? Maybe an inexpensive FA (Emphasis inexpensive). Or maybe a 4th-7th pick?
I expect a RB drafted on Day 3. Brown will be gone and they haven’t given Xavier Jones a single snap yet despite multiple injuries to Akers and Hendy. Not exactly a huge vote of confidence, you know?
Brockers could well be traded away in a cap move. Again, player or pick, depending. This cap dollars are really needed elsewhere.
Might see a surprise ILB pick for Morris earlier than expected. Just depends on if value/need intersect nicely.
A better blocking TE might also be on their radar, too. Can never have too many good TE’s and we all know that Everett is a goner.
We should brace ourselves for the strong possibility that Rams will do some extensive restructuring to get down to the new lower cap and still be able to make modest FA moves. Otherwise, their hands will be tied, don’t you think?
This is reportedly a deep draft, so don’t discount the possibility that Snead might trade down a time or two on Day 2 or 3. Not exactly a stunning prediction, I know. Lol.
Don’t know if they’re gonna draft a backup QB now. McVay likes Wolford and Perkins behind Stafford, I think.
Well, those are my highlights. Expect the unexpected with Snead/McVay.
