About Michel's 'knee issues': He missed the season opener in 2018 after having fluid drained from the knee towards the end of preseason and then missed two more games in 2018 with a minor knee injury. But he didn't miss a game due to his knees in either 2019 or 2020. Maybe he warrants extra concern ... but I'm not feeling it!
And about "... the team void of early-round picks — especially after the trade for Matthew Stafford — it makes their fourth-round selections even more important."
The Rams have a 2nd, two 3rds, and likely a 4th in the 2022 draft. Yeah, there's no first round pick, but 4 picks in the first 4 rounds is hardly "void of early round picks'.
And in 2023 they have all their picks except their first rounder (with, if history is any guide, comp pick(s) coming in the 3rd and/or 4th). Again, hardly "void of early round picks'.
