Was on a business trip yesterday and needed something to read on the flight. Got a hold of the Lindys draft preview. Wanted to check how they viewed the Rams draft class in advance of the draft. Second edge rusher taken Nr. 11 overall on their mock was Jared Verse just behind Turner at Nr. 8 and before Latu at Nr.19 But OTOH they had Fiske only as a 5th rounder (!) and Nr. 13 DT listed, whichby dodgerram - RamsFootballFans.com
Stafford is our ticket for 2-3 more SB runs and we needed all the picks to improve the roster at need positions. Which we did. Go RAms!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!by dodgerram - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRams43 First of all, people call ME an optimist? lol. Seriously, you captured my feelings about this team after this draft perfectly. Only thing I might add is that Rams are also blessed with an exceptional HC and staff of assistants. They will once again quickly develop all these rookies into being all that they can be. Looks like a bright future ahead for our Rams, indeed. If weby dodgerram - RamsFootballFans.com
They have a lot of depth on the line after this draft and not so much at linebacker. To be honest, linebacker looks a little like a waste area on this roster. Lord forbid should Jones go down with an injury but if so the Rams are in world of trouble with a 3-4 defense. Go RAms!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!by dodgerram - RamsFootballFans.com
Would have been a straight A for him if not for giving up next years second rounder. Go Rams!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11by dodgerram - RamsFootballFans.com
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 able to stop them fby dodgerram - RamsFootballFans.com
Absolutely! Entire board seems to be on a beam with this draft.:beercan On paper it looks terrific. Lets see how it looks on the field and in 2-3 years. Go Rams!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!by dodgerram - RamsFootballFans.com
Pats and 6th round QBs .... watch out. Go RAms!!!!!!!!!!1by dodgerram - RamsFootballFans.com
As a true edge speed rusher I would have liked Kamara better who went couple picks later. Go RAms!!!!!!!!!!!!!by dodgerram - RamsFootballFans.com
Kamara would be my pick if he is on the board. Go Rams!!!!!!!!!!!!1by dodgerram - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotesix2stack A situational giant run stuffing NT. Who could that be among the remaining players ? Though I really like Fiske I wanted Sweat. Go Rams!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111by dodgerram - RamsFootballFans.com
I would pick either a center or another pure edge speed rusher. Go Rams!!!!!!!!!!!!by dodgerram - RamsFootballFans.com
Own the clock, keep opposing offenses off the field to help our new formed defense. Corum is exactly the guy who will help in that attempt. Gets positive yards almost every time he touches the ball, putting his team into makable 2nd and 3rd downs. plus he is a hammer down inside the 5 yard line. Behind our new, massive o-line this will be a huge factor. Go Rams!!!!!!!!!!!!!by dodgerram - RamsFootballFans.com
4) Big body DT 5) kicker 6) lb If a developmental QB falls to us and is the BPA at the actual draft slot I would consider taking him. Go Rams!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!by dodgerram - RamsFootballFans.com
Very similar to Kyren . Would have liked a game breaker better but maybe the Rams want the same kind of runner for a reason. Go Rams!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!by dodgerram - RamsFootballFans.com
Just as Fiske and Verse. Go Rams!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!by dodgerram - RamsFootballFans.com
Just what I hoped for the Rams would do with their first 4 picks. Go RAms!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!by dodgerram - RamsFootballFans.com

No reaches, drafted very good value (according to most draft experts, including alyo and deadpool on our board) at need positions . Can not argue a lot here. Personally I would have preferred Sweat over Fiske but still a good value pick . The way all those DTs went off the board Snead and McVay probably had not other choice than to trade up. Giving up a 2nd rounder was steep but if the Rams haby dodgerram - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotejoram We got fleeced although the 32nd pick of the second round is like a 3rd (: Yes, costly move and I would have preferred Sweat. But a good, solid pick at a need postion nonetheless. Go Rams!!!!!!!!!!11111by dodgerram - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRamsDynasty Hopefully the price for moving up in the 2nd isn't nearly as prohibitive as doing it in the 2nd. Go to near the top of the 2nd and hopefully get a 4th rounder too would be an elite day two of the draft. Bills are at Nr. 33. Sent them our 2nd rounder at 52 plus next years 2nd rounder and that could do it. I would even consider our next years Nr.1 instead of Nr. 52 this year. Maby dodgerram - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRamgator I am QUITE ready to see our D elevate across the board and not be just one guy (Who was held and double teamed). I want to see our D GET AFTER IT and ....GASP!!...make tackles and get turn overs. Imagine our O with a D that gets 2-4 extra possessions a game?? The Rams improve a LOT more with Verse than they would have with Bowers, IMO (Not a slam on Bowers AT ALL) For the immeby dodgerram - RamsFootballFans.com
I would consider trading up for only Newton. Other than that I let the draft come to me. Newton is a difference maker. If we stay put or trade down I would go for Téandre Sweat. We need help at d-line. Go Rams!!!!!!!!!!!by dodgerram - RamsFootballFans.com
Definetly need d-line. Go Rams!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1by dodgerram - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRams43 1. How far up would Rams have to go to get a given player? 2. And what would be the cost? I’m thinking that there will inevitably be a fine football player there at 52 if the Rams just have the patience to wait it out. I favor keeping ALL of our Day 2 picks. A juicy trade down would also suit me just fine. The value in this draft is reportedly through round 3, maybe earlyby dodgerram - RamsFootballFans.com
Higher floor, lower ceiling than Latu but a fine, fine pick nonetheless. Still wonder if the Rams would have taken turner had he been still on the board over Verse Go Rams!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1by dodgerram - RamsFootballFans.com
Would be more than okay with him but probably have to trade up for him as well as Newton. Go Rams!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!by dodgerram - RamsFootballFans.com
Surprised the Rams stayed put but looking how the frist round unfolded it was smart to let the draft come to them. Getting Verse at Nr. 19 is excellent value though a small trade up for Turner might have been enticing. Personally I would have thought about it since Turner was more or less a unanimous top 10 guy. Some good players left on the board. Cooper and Newton the two who are at the tby dodgerram - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotejoram Both CB'S we picked up are questionable add that to an inferior group of Corners (maybe Durant and Kendricks improve ) But the only thing that helps this group is a pass rush I want defense and more defense for a SB RUN this year I tend to agree. Without a sufficient pass rush even the best cbs can not cover todays top WRs properly. Rams need to load up on pass rushers, edge anby dodgerram - RamsFootballFans.com
