I am sorry to hear about you condition and I will pray for you. Before I pray for you I will give you the biblical basis for my prayer. The bible says by his stripes (the stripes Jesus endured before he went to the cross) you are healed. See Jesus didn't just die for your salvation but also for your healing. In the heavenlies you are already healed & now we need to have faith that weby David Deacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Great thank Dead. Seems like the strength of the draft matches up pretty well with our team needs especially if you add TE to the mix.by David Deacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Dead, How would you rate the strength of the edge class? Especially the 2nd & 3rd round prospects? Is it a strong class or will we have to reach to get a decent player? Thanksby David Deacon - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteJimYoungblood53 QuoteDavid Deacon I think if they weren't fighting fires trying to overcome the Oline issues they would have figured out how to solve the other issues. there always are---and in general, Rams do pretty well, no as well as a few teams, better than most. 2023 will betime to pay the piper but 2024 will be good, or at least McVay as good as anyone to try and make it good.by David Deacon - RamsFootballFans.com

There sure was a lot of stuff that contributed to the disaster of last season.

I think this really points out that Snead/McVay find ways to replace players and still fill out a roster that is capable of making the playoffs and even going deep into the playoffs. Looking over the list is seems like we lost Goff and added Stafford though that as in a trade. However, I think we as we look back at the great job that was done putting together a playoff competing roster weby David Deacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotemerlin It's not a good thing that he wasn't able to establish himself in Miami but he's only been in the league only a couple seasons. The guy has the raw talent to be a starter at this level. People acting like he's trash tbh. That may not be true, maybe he's a guy who still has a career ahead of him at this level. He's not gonna be elite but at this point I'd welcome solid, so that'sby David Deacon - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRamstien Well, I would like to remind you that in 1999 they when from NFC West worst to NFC best and with Kurt Warner at QB won the Super Bowl.

Loss can be a terrible thing though it helps you to remember the good times you had together. Even those who are blessed must suffer when those we love are hurting or come to the end of their journey here on earth.

I believe Hooker has the talent to be a staring QB in the NFL. He also seems to be the type of guy that is currently in style, meaning he can use his feet and his arm. He also is mature and has good experience. If he didn't get hurt he probably would have gone in the top 15 picks and most definitely would go in the first round. If he is there for us in the 2nd round he sure has to be temptiby David Deacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Dead that was a heck of a write up. I agree with most of what you wrote. I agree with adding to offense, especially TE/RB. Not sure if they go early on OL or WR even if Robinson goes. CB I thought Haley did okay before getting injured and would add him into the mix. But they need to draft a CB Safety if Scott is resigned no need spend high on safety. I guess I see TE/CB/RB/OL/Edgby David Deacon - RamsFootballFans.com
I am shocked that the market for Ramsey was essentially only 2 3rd round picks. I see a lot of criticism of Snead and how he should have gotten more but they have been shopping Ramsey for at least a month and it seems like the market for his skills just wasn't there which I shocking to me. Seems the Rams are addressing the cap manipulations and taking lots of dead money in 2023 and will builby David Deacon - RamsFootballFans.com
It looks like the Rams have kicked the salary cap can down the road just about as far as it will go. From the looks of it they are taking action to reduce out year exposure and take the hit this year and next.by David Deacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Wow thanks guys. I am really pumped about TE class. It seems like there are around 7 guys with a 2nd round grade which is really high and lots of depth after that. This is an position where people might slide too just because there are so many good prospects and teams will have other needs. I love it when the team's top needs and the draft board sync up.

It doesn't get better than when Alyo and Dead team up on a draft post. Love the dual perspectives. Thanks guys. Also, Alyo I was wondering why you aren't looking for the Rams to pick a future starter and waiting to the later rounds. Akers is probably gone after next season and he hasn't exactly been reliable due to injuries and whatever his problem was last year. While TE & Edge, especby David Deacon - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteRam_Ruler QuoteRamsdude They would have to eat some money. No team would do a trade otherwise...

QuoteRamstien For that much dead money the Rams will have to pay if he is traded, it seems like it would make more sense to keep him. You can't just look at this year's impact on the cap. The following year we would have zero cap impact which may be needed to offset all the restructuring that was done and is coming due. That said I love Ramsey and trading him certainly makes things much mby David Deacon - RamsFootballFans.com

Quotealyoshamucci Who will be ready by TC. Dont get the 2nd round grade. So taking him in the 2nd round would be great value? Good backup next season and maybe great trade bait the following season or potential starter in season 3.

Robinson's talent didn't just disappear. Stafford and Robinson never got on the same page probably due to the elbow and lack of throws in the off season. The offense had many issues but Stafford only seemed comfortable with Kupp and to some extent Higbee and didn't seem to zero in on anyone else. Gotta fix that and become much more unpredictable.

As you look at the depth chart there is still a need for speed and someone to stretch the defense. Tutu fills that need and has proven himself to the point where we know he can get open on deep routes and he can catch the ball. That said Jefferson and Skow both looked good last year. Jefferson and Kupp have both shown the ability to get open deep and both have decent speed so the long ball witby David Deacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Interesting take on how technique may be a contributing factor on injuries. If the Offensive line we have now is healthy there is enough talent to be pretty decent. I do think that Allen may have a chronic knee issue and if that is the case technique probably won't fix that. Being healthy with Stafford a full participant in training camp can have a big impact on this team. Getting Robinsoby David Deacon - RamsFootballFans.com
