Is it like the Saints who were up against the cap every year and kept going to the playoffs anyway. Sounds ok to me. And none of us know what the 2022 cap will be or what deals will be restricted and who will be traded / released. Kind of pointless to worry about it now. The Rams have, and will continue to manage the cap as they need.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
With the exception of Noteboom. They tried him at guard and he did poorly. Now he's a swing tackle. Not sure they're planning on him starting in 2022. We'll see if he's re-signed.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
...with flaws. It will take any of them a few years before they're ready to be a blindside protector. I think LT, like QB - you have to look in the first round for the best prospects. After that it's a crapshoot.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Is that the keep your head down, me not we attitude? Seems like he just wanted to settle scores. As good of a ball hawk as he was, he gambled a lot. Probably looking to pad his own stats. He got scorched several times doing thisby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Lots of guys suited for RT or guard based on their grades. I think all the guys who have a shot at starting at LT were gone in the first and top of the 2nd.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
He's supposed to be a good blocker. Another 10 lbs or so and he's right in the range. Maybe a better pass catching version of Mundt. He could play H back or Move tight end. That's still a thing, right?by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
If you're team is starting a lot of rookies you're probably not very good. We had 3 last year. One (Burgess) got hurt. The others were depth or ST or rotational guys. This is kind of how it works every year. I expect Brown will be in the rotation and get snaps. Maybe more. You just don't know who shows up at camp and who doesn't, also injuries can create opportunities. If you want iby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
At least a depth guy inside. Maybe more in a year or 2. His diagnosis might have taken him off of some teams boards. He's not technically a 'draft pick' as McVay says - he was an UDFA, but I like that they didn't turn their back on him with the opt out.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
The Browns who've been a dumpster fire up until last season. I'll go with the Rams in this dispute. They cut bait with the guy and gave up, doesn't mean he was worthless. We got a few good years - Guard and Center from Blythe who the Colts threw away.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Probably the best performing group we've had in a while. Offense lit it up that year, Goff hit his stride and we were 10 points from a world championship. How many of those guys did we draft? Saffold, Havenstein...the rest were FA's. So that's 3 out of 5 that we did not draft. I know we like the idea of developing all this talent through the draft, but, as we proved, you can develop otby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
He needs to be at the facility - today - working with the strength coaches and a nutritionist. Vets and the NFLPA can say they do better working on their own, but whatever he's doing on his own is woefully inadequate. His frame is so thin and his weight is a a real problem. I wonder if he can do a singe rep of 225. He looks like a runner or maybe a bantamweight boxer. I haven't seen legs thaby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
If they have the cap room (hopefully more next year as some dead money off the books, bigger cap, etc) they could re-sign Williams and not worry so much about his replacement. Same goes for OL - keep as many as you want and can afford. That would be one way to take some of the pressure off of the 2022 draft.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Unhappy or not, if he wants to play next year he'll play for the Packers. He's under contract. If they can't figure out a long term extension this season, they can look to move him next year before the Draft. At this point, no one has anything of equal value to offer them. They are still a legit Super Bowl contender this year. Take Rogers off their roster in 2021 and they are probably not evby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Might as well let him play this year in GB and then trade him before next year's draft. No reason to do it now.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
The mythical Rogers to Rams idea that never happened and was never going to happen. A whole thread about a non existent trade to, what, bash the front office some more? Then it turns into a Rogers is better than Stafford thread, which is true, but Mahommes is better than Stafford - could we have had him? After tonight all this garbage will be put to rest as Aaron goes...nowhere.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
They are working on a long term extension with the Packers and this kind of 'news' sounds like it's designed to spur further negotiations or player leverage. The top agents drop nuggets like this to the Schefters of the world where it's reported as a real thing. Chances are it's just smoke.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
You don't send a hall of fame QB away. Doesn't matter what you can 'get for him'. As if you can replace Rogers with a handful of magical draft picks. You immediately go from Super Bowl contender to NFC north also-ran. Or, since that division is so weak you'd probably still win it - then you become the 2020 Redskins. LaFleur and the GM would be run out of town.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com

The Rams didn't re-sign Austin Blythe...really? I had no idea. The rest is just literally a re-post of McVay's press conference quotes which are, like they are for all coaches, not the 100 percent truth. Somebody got paid to cut and past this. Friday can't get here soon enough.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Love Deadpool's rankings and board stacking and I do watch most of the rounds I can and read all the summaries, but it's the interminable wait - why did it need to be pushed to the edge of May? Free agent wave 1 is long since done. The combine and senior bowl are long since over, Now there's not one pro day for some of these guys, but 2.

A month or more of 'who will the Rams take' or 'who should the rams take' or players the rams bumped into at Applebee's. And the NFL network is nothing but endless first round mocks and endless replays of the same QB pro days. The draft can't get here soon enough for my taste. I sill don't like that the league delayed the draft a few years back - trying to milk every last second out of the buiby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
All the coded language - 'thugs' and 'gangsters', accusing college athletes of getting an education on 'someone else's dime', etc. Meanwhile D1 coaches are making millions of dollars with a free labor pool. Sweeping condemnations of hip hop music and pro athletes of color, I know exactly what you mean by ever answer you gave. Not sure why you even watch football anymore since it's been takenby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Seems like you really know your stuff. Maybe you should guest lecture at USC about 'thugs' and 'gangsters'. I'm guessing most of your information comes from 1980's movies.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com

It's supposed to be a 'sport' with values like sportsmanship, teamwork, sacrifice. The NHL is very physical and they don't deal with a fraction of this taunting crap. Even in the UFC you see a lot of respect between fighters. A guy will beat his opponent senseless, take a victory lap around the octagon and then check to make sure the guy is ok. The NFL taunting crap is all about screen timby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
You know - after his newest suspension (if there is one) - maybe he'll only be, like 36 then. :)by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
I think they value DB much higher. that's why I think they'll go LT or CB with 57 and likely one of the 2 picks in the 3rd. Edge is also going to be high on their list, I think.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
One guy for each game - he can be part of the crew. maybe a senior official who's not great at running down the field anymore. Everyone at home is already 'playing' sky judge with the angles they get. It would go a long way in making sure the correct call is made, and may even speed up the replay process so no one has to walk over and look 'under the hood' and ask for angles, etc. Why theyby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
The Seahawks - their drafts since the legion of boom days have been terrible. I would also remove teams like the Bucs who weren't even playoff good until Brady rolled into town. You might say the same for the saints -helps if you have a hall of fame QB. Jerry Jones? WTAF? Dallas hasn't been good since the Romo days.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
