I am really surprised that the Rams have not filled at least one of the two holes threw free agency.
IMHO both positions have to be addressed. Are they hoping they can fill both holes in the draft ? If that is the case I think it is rather dangerous. Are they waiting for some cuts during pre season ? Could be but then again do you get better value than what is left right now in free agency ?
Cbs still available include Gilmore, old friend Jenkins, Patrik Peterson and Joe Haden.
The latter two at one time during their careers were bona fide shutdown corners and while no longer at that level they could provide solid cb play opposite Ramsey. Both should come rather cheap and are worth a closer look.
Gilmore and Jenkins still can play though not at the level as before. No question.
Another option and younger could be Nelson who finally stayed healthy and has been a solid starter for some time now with different teams.
At DE Clowney and Arden Key look to be the two guys I would consider.
Clowney is a career underachiever but playing next to AD could finally produce the numbers that were expected from him or at least double digit sacks in the vicinity of 10-12.
Key is intriguing. Had 6,5 sacks for the Niners last season and is still young at 26.
Go Rams!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Could some of the above mentioned players be unsigned because they have been in talks with McSnead but are just waiting until the AD signing frees up enough space to bring in a few additions on the defensive side oft the ball. They might not wait forever but they might be willing to take a beat in order to sign with the Champs. I know wishful thinking. With the right AD deal we could bring Clowney a vet CB and Wagner after all, f' them Comp picks too!.
