Quotejemach Pre-Draft Analysis Edwards has prototypical height and weight, but he has shorter-than-ideal arms for an offensive tackle. He has heavy hands, and he knocks speed rushers off course when his punch lands on opponents. He has enough lateral mobility to effectively zone block, but he needs to play with better pad level at times. The arms thing is contradicted by other reports:by zn - RamsFootballFans.com
Quoteazramfan Edwards had terrible junior year though. Maybe this is why. QuoteVincent Bonsignore@VinnyBonsignore New #Rams OT David Edwards battled through a shoulder injury last year – he’s fine now – but he felt playing through it affected the tape he put out there which he feels likely affected his draft status. Ultimately he’s glad he stuck it out with his Wisconsin teammatesby zn - RamsFootballFans.com

QuotePSJRam If he's not playing to the best of his ability, then yep... it's a decline. I get your point ZN, it's not like a decline from let's say and aging RB that just doesn't have the "juice" any longer. But it is a decline nonetheless.

QuoteRamgator I'd see him holding or looking at his knee or ankle but I never really saw him struggle or hobble while running. I'm guessing there were cuts or moves he simply could not make that WOULD show evidence of pain. It all seems so strange. TWICE last year the knee gave him trouble. Once was in game 1. If you look at the stats for game 2, whatever it was lingered. Gurley said it wasby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
Quoteheadslapper I hope this is just being forward thinking Henderson is a complementary back. So right now it looks to me like they will do what they said they would do, which is to give touches to other backs while managing Gurley. Remember he had a knee issue in game 1 too (which had an effect on game 2 also). So it was not just December. Then he ran well for several games. That bothby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRam49 Just traded again and now own 47 and 77 ..... they are showing a lot of patience and being smart after Russell's contract straps them. Rivalry continues. One way to put that is that they are being smart because the contract straps them. I don't see it that way.

QuoteAlbert Breer@AlbertBreer In reporting on the Frank Clark trade to KC over the weekend, I asked a lot of folks on whether he was THAT big an upgrade over Dee Ford. The universal answer: Yes.

I doubt Seattle would have traded Clark if they didn't think they could draft a replacement. In fact, McVay and Snead say as much themselves: QuoteSNEAD: “I’ve got a gut feeling they’re going to pick one of those players we deemed ‘unrealistic’ to us.

QuoteRams43 Maybe we might be overthinking this? I mean, Rams have a loaded roster with few holes. Perhaps they’re planning on getting a BPA/starter with their first pick, pure and simple?

IOW, our picks this year will not really be a reflection on current projected starters sby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRams43 Here’s a slightly different possible perspective regarding the trade decision. Snead and McVay were looking for bold moves to quickly turbocharge an existing 11-5 team into SB status.
