Is that he never had Nix's athleticism and physical strength. Also as much flak as Nix deserves for his dependency in that offense on screens and horizontal type plays busting big yards, he did show an ability to get the ball out quickly and move the chains. And when he does go over the top he can stretch the field. Problem of course is that a guy like him isn't comfortable holding it and loby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteJimYoungblood53 Not that I'd love it ... but Rams need to look to future,too ... I don't know if he has "it" or not but at some point Rams need to get someone There is certainly a point where they take him. Wonder where that is in the draft though. And I'd be fine with having a QB with his talent level behind Stafford. He could absorb how a stud QB goes about his business aby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Right now there will be a premium with Minshew though as it pertains to backup QBs. He'll be at the high end of that spectrum, might even have some team think he's more than a backup. So what you want if you sign a backup on the market is someone who is underappreciated for what he has the potential to bring. That might still be Wentz, but one season under McVay may cause teams think of him diby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRam_Ruler I think he will probably see a slight bump from people who can get a similar talent without wondering if his medicals will haunt him again. I'd take him, but I don't think the Rams will wait that long to find their edge. I think they'll do it in free agency. Right now looking at FA there are some options but the best of them will dry up as tags and trades start flying around. Beby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Then I think he'll end up being moved. He just won't get opportunities to be out there enough for a guy picked where we picked him. And McVay tends to weed out the guys who aren't good enough, they sometimes hang around a bit but not very long and he's been here long enough in that regard. They know who he is at this level. So my guess is he's gone this offseason.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteDeadpool 1. Jackson Powers-Johnson taking snaps at OG was probably requested by a or some scouts in attendance. He's a OC, and a danged good one, but in year 1, he could start out at OG and slide to the middle after that. Injured though? So no Senior Bowl Game I'm assuming. 2.

I think Nabers is the best wideout in this class. His body control is something. The guy can stutter step dudes at full speed just about. If he's got the right mentality, which of course we don't know as we don't get to interview these guys, he could be a pretty rare receiver. If I was picking up top and had my choice of any wideout it would be Nabers. Odunze is also a stud in a differentby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
So I'd imagine he needs to be cut for us to be in play. And he would need to come in humble with a strong work ethic. Has he had enough failure yet to have some humility to him. Because this is a guy who rubbed his offensive team so wrong they had shirts made for the other QB.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
The sheer number of Edge, Corner, Tackle options is impressive. No idea what tackles the Rams see as LT types of course. But generally speaking that neighborhood aligns quite nicely with our needs. Might even be a good wideout sitting there who can own that X spot and elevate our passing game. I'm real excited about this draft due to having this pick.

If they go edge it will be a lower tier option. Zadarius Smith is probably the best option they would go after, and that's if he hits the market which is possible due to his age. We're about to see a ton of the guys up high on that list disappear as options as teams lock them up or tag them. More likely I think would be one of the situational rushers who won't break the bank, there should be sby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
He's going to relive the decision all offseason and whether he admits it or not a lesson will be learned.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
I recall being surprised that year we added him when Snead drafted two safeties, and the pairing we had that season was the best it's been in many years. They were extremely disciplined. Wasn't until the playoffs that Staley finally got worked over vs GB. Looking at this upcoming offseason the safety position needs to be sorted, so that feels like a potential advantage with him.

Center doesn't matter because Shelton is marginal at best. They can fill Center via rounds 3-5 provided they don't screw up the OGs. And we have Avila as a stud in year two on the left. So. If they retain Dotson OR bring in a LT and move Jackson to RG they'll be good. Just make sure those two guard spots are strong so 9 has room to step up in the pocket. By doing that you also take heat oby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRidgewood Ram The Snake. Followed by Fouts, Pastarini, Bert Jones When it's non-Rams it's about personality for me. Stabler was magic.

Quoteleafnose Should he be on this list? Absolutely can't figure where he comes off the board as of now. Agree that Rattler is probably higher on the watch list for Les.

There's no way he'd lose out to Quinn in terms of his interview. Raheem has the gift of gab, the guy speaks very well and brings the energy.

QuoteLMU93 OL as a unit certainly. But ILB > RG in my opinion. Again my hope is to keep both longer term. I think this particular season the OL is more important and RG by extension. It's been a problem for us the past two seasons since we added Stafford. If the plan is to win a #1 seed the line has to enter the season as one unit. Whereas defense needs a huge influx of talent aby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
We need to start 2024 with a good offensive line that is in form so we can chase a #1 overall seed. We have the QB. We have good pieces and with just one additional WR who can add good deep threat we would be a top three offense. So we cannot afford to screw up again on the OL. It has to be ready game one. Not game eight or after our bye. First game of the season. Defensively we need plaby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com

Unfortunately that means you gotta listen to his takes.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
1. Can he win from the pocket. Because that is where the protections are. It is where you can string together a long career so QBs who can do this are the most valuable version of prospects for this position. If you're a "contain him in the pocket and we can win" QB then you are going to limit your team until you're not that QB. 2. Does he stand up to a rush with confidence.

First year he had a bit of a ragtag secondary, overrated I think, and we masked all that by hitting a grand slam on Von Miller at the deadline. Year two a lot of the issues we saw pre-Von were back but for the entire season. This year he had a bunch of younguns and a lot of roster shortfall so I doubt he expected to get the job this time around.

Is you'll see a unit play over their heads. They'll get everything going, and guys who often cannot be counted on can all sort of find good play in that game, and they'll achieve a level of production that is surprising or even dominant.

So yeah I was worried too. If you don't respond well in that tent you're done. But man he is tough.
