Part of getting to the Superbowl is quality depth - 7 days ago
The Rams drafted depth. And because they played so many rookies last year, we have 2nd year guys with plenty of game experience. And, keeping JG was really big because he still has skills, he's totally healthy, he's been an entire year in the system, and he's played in big games. So, we have an excellent back-up to get us by a few games should Stafford get dinged up. We have a top levelby RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Not Rams, but what would you do about Cousins if you were Atlanta? - 7 days ago
The Cousins thing is actually pretty bizarre. For Atlanta to first give Cousins a huge mostly guaranteed contract, and then in weeks draft Penix with the 8th pick in the draft, is a head scratcher that is yet to make any sense. What is Atlanta to do now? There's no use rehashing the deal; it is what it is. I think Atlanta is just plain stuck. They'd incur so much dead money to trade him thby RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
You mean, essentially rehire Joe Noteboom? - 7 days ago
Noteboom isn't gone because he can't play. It's because he's an injury waiting to happen. Tyron Smith has reached that same point. It's a waste of time and money to pick him up.by RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Actually, I think it was a pretty significant penalty - 7 days ago
When some dumb kid does what that coach's kid did, there has to be some accountability for sure. But neither should it be overboard. That phone call did nothing but upset Sanders. No other effect whatsoever. But today, hurting somebody's feelings is held akin to stabbing them with a knife. And, neither the team nor that coach had anything to do with it. The social media world of saying anythinby RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Manning favored by media draft guys, not the NFL. Sanders couldn't have landed in a worse place. - 8 days ago
I just love these articles that start these predictions. The kid hasn't even started a college game, so far as I know, and yet he's now projected as the 2026 #1 QB choice, also meaning the #1 overall draft pick, by the media. Who knows what's going to happen? The biggest thing going for him is that with his name, Manning, he'll get extra attention; but, the NFL also knows that the family wilby RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Smart, well spoken young man - 9 days ago
That was refreshing. An obvious leader. Good vocabulary and communicator, understands the value of knowing what everyone else on the field is supposed to be doing, Obviously bright. Not a chest thumper. He certainly has an NFL type of mind. Hope he has a good career ahead of him.by RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
When you're viewing a next year's pick, the 1st round is different - 10 days ago
It is standard wisdom to discount a next years pick by one round. I mostly agree with that thought. But.... a 1st round pick is a whole other deal, because (theoretically) here is where you get a chance of the true blue chip players. And next year is the year that folks have been waiting for as several very good QBs are expected to come out. So...... wow.by RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Yep. I just don't understand why some people can't see the Rams good fortune here - 10 days ago
Won't go into names, but when this happened we had a few reactions on this board of the Rams either not getting good value and just overall making a mistake. Maybe it was just the disappointment of yet again not having a 1st round selection. But universally, this is being hailed as the one of the most amazingly horrible moves by Atlanta, and one of the most amazingly fortunate moves by LA, ofby RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Utterly ridiculous internet fodder - 10 days ago
Just another amateur with a webcam declaring where players should have been taken, and then deriving "too soon" "too late" "a reach". But even more, completely lying and saying that the media consensus big board (whatever the heck that is) is based on the NFL GMs and Coaches. That is 100% false. Nobody knows, nor will they ever know, what any teams big board looked lby RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Kiper and most of the rest of the talking heads are simply entertainers - 10 days ago
Somehow, we have to factor in that with very few exceptions, all these guys are entertainers who hold themselves up as "experts". In reality they are all populists. They all create the "big names", and then they all sing to the same choir, further elevating the "big names". They talk about guys moving up and down draft boards as though that's what happens on NFL teamby RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
I can't imagine the Rams not keeping Corum - 10 days ago
Corum is cheap. Healthy. A good team guy. Talented. Knows the offense. It is beyond a stretch for them to cut a 2nd year guy like him. Might he wind up RB3 with the drafting of the Auburn RB? Sure. But, competition will determine that. I think we'll see 4 RBs, the first 3 being Williams, Corum and Hunter. The 4th is totally up in the air. Likely STs will have a great deal to do with whby RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
"So much for the hype of getting multiple starters out of this draft" - 11 days ago
The title of your post and your words make it clear that you thought the Rams ought to and need to add at least 3 new starters from this draft....and in their rookie year.... not down the road a year or two. Maybe you meant something else. But that certainly isn't how I interpreted it. There is maybe ONE spot open for a rookie to start immediately, and that is opposite Speights at ILB. Andby RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
If the Rams are all in for 2025 and 2026, it's a good idea - 11 days ago
If the Rams do this, it is with a 2 year window in mind. And, not surprisingly, Ramsey has 2 years left on his deal. There are few guys better than Ramsey in this league. Yes, he's not the All-World Ramsey. But he remains a very physical player who plays the run well, and he can stick to just about anyone in pass defense. He is known as a non-partier, takes good care of his body, andby RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
McVay/Snead's presser makes clear they were shocked to get a 1st rounder next year - 11 days ago
Few times have I seen McVay/Snead's true feelings so obviously displayed, as when they were asked about getting Atlanta's 1st round pick for next year. They NEVER in their wildest dreams imagined a team would offer next years 1st round pick plus this years 2nd round pick for that team to move to the bottom fourth of the 1st round this year. It would have been malpractice not to jump on the deal,by RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Who, exactly, were you expecting to be replaced by a drafted rookie? - 12 days ago
Let's see about those starting guys you think we should have acquired. Who of these could a rookie replace as Starter in your eyes remembering our first pick was at 46?: Stafford K. Williams Nacua Adams Tutu Higbee Jackson Avilla Shelton Dotson Havenstein How about STs?

Yes and don't discount a play for Ramsey. - 12 days ago
I don't think I'd sleep on the possibility of the Rams acquiring Ramsey. But, they might like exactly what they have.by RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Wow. The Sanders undrafted thing sure has the media buzzing - 12 days ago
First, as I've said before, I don't think Sanders deserved anywhere near the hype he had. He was a good college player, and maybe in time will be a good NFL player. But, to think he's any better than someone like our own Bennett, I just don't see. But, there is something else going on, too. Without doubt there is concern about who he is as a person.... and I also imagine there is much concernby RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
I'd say the thinking is that their "needs" aren't what others think they are - 12 days ago
Every year, seems like, the picks are a surprise and usually because they don't match the consensus for need or the player for the position. And, we also usually see the same type of player: 4 years of college, mature, gets better every year, non-stop motor, how they play against the best talent they face, and production on the field. And Snead can joke about it, but clearly they also like guysby RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Sure seems like this is setting up for Rams to acquire Ramsey - 13 days ago
A TE and an Edge rusher. No CBs. More and more I think the Rams are intent on getting Ramsey back.by RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
According to who? Every team grades differently - 13 days ago
This round grade stuff is media and not the teams. Look at Sanders. The media gave him a first round grade. I do know that the Rams criteria weights things differently than most other teams. As always weby RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
A plausible QB scenario for the Rams going forward. - 13 days ago
Here's a scenario that is probably doable if the Rams are thinking anywhere similarly. By acquiring Atlanta's 1st next year........... 1) Stafford stays through 2026 season. 2) JG is no longer signed. 3) Bennett either has proved he can be QB2 for a year, or the Rams go get an older, cheap vet. 4) Rams use their newfound ammo to go up and get the QB they covet, he sits behind Staffordby RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
The projection is for Atlanta to win 7.5 games next year - 13 days ago
I realize it's a projection. But nothing they have done including the draft is going to improve them this coming year to any significant degree. So, if this projection were proved true, that would equal around the 15th pick of the 1st round. Even if the Rams got the 28th - 32nd pick (their own) for next year, with those 2 picks (plus no more than their 1st in 2027) they have the needed ammo tby RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com

Yeah. Here's what CBS sports said about it - 13 days ago
Falcons front office. The Jaguars made the most shocking trade of the day in a good way. On the other end of the spectrum, the Falcons made the most shocking trade of the day in a bad way. After taking Jalon Walker at 15th overall, the Falcons wanted to trade back into the first round, so they made a deal with the Rams that involved sending a 2026 FIRST ROUND PICK to Los Angeles. That's right, thby RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Good for him. Go big or go home. - 13 days ago
Smart ballsy move. It cost him but he got the best player in the draft, and that is exactly the sort of thing the Jags need to get off their path to nowhere.by RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Your biggest surprise last night? Mine: Steelers did nothing to help their QB room - 13 days ago
Some say the biggest surprise was Sanders not getting selected. Not me. I just didn't see it in him. Good college player. Might it translate to the NFL? Sure. But it isn't sure enough to use a 1st rounder on him, which if that did happen meant modifying the entire offense to accommodate his skill set. My surprise is that the Steelers stood pat and did nothing to help their QB room (or is it aby RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
