ty sir, I'm not sure if the Rams have an advantage or not

I actually have given this question some thought this winter.

I can see it going either way for these reasons:

1. The Rams love the Senior Bowl, other teams lean more on the pro days and combine seemingly. (This is just how it seems in my mind, I might be all wet.)
If the rest of the league lean more on the Senior bowl this year with no in person Combine and virtual? Pro Days, then they lose that Senior Bowl advantage.

2. They Rams are pretty cutting edge as far as their draft process from what everyone says, so do the lack of some games hurt that process? I have no idea. Does the fact that some players opted out this season alter that process? It almost has to be figured in. And you really can't hold it against them. I think this helps the Rams.

3. Lastly, lacking a 1st round pick this year takes some of the pressure off hitting on that first round pick, because there isn't one to whiff on. So the Rams can go senior heavy, team captain types and probably be safe.

I think FA fixes some or all of the edge issues. If Lewis can stay healthy, he was a borderline 1st round talent. Big if. I hate ifs. But nothing is guaranteed in life, esp. a football players health. So retain Floyd or bring in a short termer and you are probably more than fine. What isn't fine is 2 unathletic ILBers like Reeder and Kiser (who himself is an injury concern) and the injured Howard, who is also undersized...I really like what TB was able to do with their LBers and it all started and ended with a sideline to sideline heatseeker in the name of Devon White. And Lavonte David wasn't too bad either.
