We all probably have a rather long wish list but that’s not realistic.
I suspect that Rams can only do one, maybe 2 moves.
I think a move at edge would yield most bang for the buck. Doesn’t have to be a big name like Quinn. Just a solid player there kinda like the Corbett move a few years ago. Someone that Rams consider a scheme fit but is sitting there under the fans radar? Rams current scoring D is excellent but can you imagine the possibilities if they can get more pressure rushing 4?
If there’s cap room left over, and I think there will be, a solid (and healthy) RB would be a smart move. Again, don’t need a McCaffrey, just a solid RB with decent vision that can provide injury insurance. Surely there are a few out there, don’t you think?
Notice I didn’t include OL among my 2 allowed acquisitions? That’s because I don’t consider it a top 2 need for a playoff run at this time. Allen’s back and Shelton will join in a couple of weeks. And Bruss plus Anchrum will be rejoining next year.

That OL can get us to the SB if other parts of our O start doing their job. Not an All Pro line, but plenty good enough, imo.
Speaking of which, I’m excited about Jefferson’s return. I think I’m guilty of underestimating his importance to this O.
So, get me a solid edge upgrade and a solid RB and I’m a happy camper. If they can be 3 year additions rather than a 3 month rentals, so much the better.
Needless to say I’m willing to spend future premium picks, if necessary, to acquire quality talent right now. Right up Snead’s alley, huh?
I believe that we're sharing the same thought pattern today, 43. I just posted something similar.
However, I disagree with your premise that that O-line unit you referenced is good enough to make a deep playoff run.
If the Rams are going to make any moves, it HAS to be for difference-makers (on either side of the ball).
