Here’s Merlin… This looks like a deep playoff roster if the secondary sorts out. Running the ball should be more successful, more potent, and we are not dependent on one back for the first time in the McVay era. It took him long enough. Lot of getting kicked in the nuts by this group. But he got there. Stopping the run should be stronger as well. One thing I felt was coming this year wasby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSpeed_Kills of course you do my friend lol nice draft though... its just feels strong Laugh if you want to, Speed, but we can revisit this next January.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
What 1stRounder said. I might add that part of that Ramsey trade to Miami was a salary dump benefit for Rams. There are many facets to these blockbuster trades. If Fiske turns out to be a Pro Bowler then I doubt anybody will remember the trade of picks.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotekw13 He reminds me of Kupp and Nacua. I would like to see him be backup to these 2 if one gets hurt and D-Rob and Tutu be the 3rd and/or 4th. Because, to me, it doesn't make sense to have more of the same. Tutu brings something different. Robinson is more productive than Tutu, but is also a little too similar for my taste. We kind of need a burner. We had hoped Tutu would be thatby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

Quotekw13 We need to score more TD's and not settle for FG's. What's the plan? Plan is already in place. Namely, they now have an elite OL. They have a top drawer QB and RB stable. So they should be able to run or pass as they please.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Given the additions of Verse and Brennan Jackson, he almost has to return Hoecht to DL, doesn’t he? That would return Hoecht to his more natural position, right? And turn a liability into an asset?by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteRamsDynasty I appreciate the well thought out write up. This wouldn't be the first time a front office was scouting one guy and his teammate jumps off the screen garnering attention. I am now curious if both Newton and Fiske were both available would the Rams have still gone Fiske because of chemistry and camaraderie? Is it that their games mesh better together? I love the position and haveby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Quoteoldschoolramfan When I was watching the draft and Fiske was picked I thought to myself, the Rams love this guy and he reminds me of Greg Gaines. Well, check out these #'s mi amigos. Gaines....6'1" 312 5.15 (3 cone) 5.15 (40) 30 reps (225 lbs) Fiske......6'4" 300 4.37 (3 cone) 4.78 (40) 26 reps (225 lbs) Well, McSnead must really like what Gaines brought to the tby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Priceless post, RamBill. Thanks, man.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
And that the NFL draft is now 100 times more fun as a result. He can annoy at times but I do believe that he’s sincere about his statements. So yeah, I’d vote for him for the HOF.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRockRam I guess I'd like to know the basis for this being a home run before any of these players even step to the plate. Just one poster’s opinion, Rock. This is mine until evidence comes in one way or another on the field. FWIW, I thought last years draft was a HR the morning after, too. Sooooo..by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Inquiring minds want to know. lol.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteLMU93 He's the one pick I'm skeptical about. But then I also rejected the idea that Nacua was going to do anything more than catch 8-10 passes last year so... Just a hunch I have about Whittington. He reportedly has Kupp-like instincts and football smarts.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
While what you say is of course true, it is also true that at this point it appears to be a HR draft on multiple levels. We can revisit this in 12 months.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteJYB QuoteClassicalwit Why did the Rams have to give up next year's number two in addition to swapping this year's number two plus a draft pick? Seems like a 3rd next year should have worked. Based on most of the trading charts, it should've been a 3. But Les never met a trade he wasn't willing to overpay for. Don’t overlook AlbaNY’s point about there being possible multiple suitorsby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
I’d say Rams are definitely improved. Nobody is gonna confuse them with a finesse team anymore, that’s for sure. So yeah, I think we got the attention of the 49ers, and everybody else, too.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Never gets old, either. Might be my favorite moment of the whole draft weekend. Sigh…by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
He expressed mostly disappointment with this draft. So, just in case he’s not alone, let me explain my thinking and reasons for optimism now. Offense QB. Stafford is healthy and at the top of his game. He engineered a 7-1 finish last year once OL was fixed. RB. Kyren was already a stud and now they add Corum. Are you kidding me? OL. This OL now looks elite. More than capable of protectingby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteAlbaNY_Ram It's also possible that the Rams were in a bidding war with another team trying to move into the same spot. I would not be the least bit surprised because Fiske was definitely a hot prospect and on the radar of many teams. In fact, a run on DT’s started immediately after our pick.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
And I’ve gotta say that I’ve come away even more impressed by these kids. Such intelligence, such epitomes of ‘We, not me’. Gonna be an easy group of rookies to root for.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Rams NFL Draft grades: Does team deserve what experts saying about this class? Bret Stuter After the 2023 NFL Draft class that soared, you had every right to believe that the post-draft final grades for the LA Rams 2024 NFL Draft class would be far kinder than the grades from a year ago. For the most part, they were. But perhaps the problem with the instant analysis is the fact thby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

Quotedodgerram I really, really like this draft but there is no reason to get uber optimistic. On paper the draft looks fantastic. But lets wait and see what happens on the field. I painfully remember that 2001 draft class when we had 3 first rounder and 2 second rounders. We used four of those picks on D and everyone was sure that the Rams and their GSOT now had a top defense too, nobody ableby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteClassicalwit Why did the Rams have to give up next year's number two in addition to swapping this year's number two plus a draft pick? Seems like a 3rd next year should have worked. Simple. Because that’s what the trade partner demanded. It was also the going market rate. We will look back on this trade and consider it a bargain one day. Trust me.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Just an outstanding draft hitting the right notes from start to finish. One slight disagreement. I think all 10 draftees will make the 53. For the 2nd year in a row, btw.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
‘With Chris Shula taking over as the defensive coordinator in Los Angeles, he wants to establish a culture on defense that emphasizes a relentless pursuit to the football and a mentality of never giving up on a play’. I’m telling you, Rams have a new sheriff in town as DC. And I’m loving what I’m seeing and hearing.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Not saying that he will be an immediate starter, but I’ve got a feeling that he’s gonna be a pleasant surprise.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
