I would love to get him or Quinn young Mitchellby RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
First thing YT offered me when I turned it on.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
I guess we had some good guys back in the early days, but we are definitely not a team knows for its great QBs. Now RBs, there we have struck it rich over and over.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
I'm not an expert - just a fan - but Chop gives me vibes of another Robinson with great traits but little production - Greg Robinson.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
And the best way to do that still seems to be film study, and judging a player according to their actual performance and not some vaporous thing called "high ceiling based on potential". In other words, they were so-so in college, and should have been better, but they are freak athletes or some such thing and could be coached up..... maybe.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com

I had no idea some truly great players were drafted so low!by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Particularly interesting to see the traits of edge rushers they have drafted in the past.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Not sure why, but every year there is one guy who catches my attention and whom I want us to draft, regardless of how little it makes sense. He is from Iowa. Seems like Iowa players often succeed in the NFL. He is super versatile - could be played at either safety or CB. He returns punts and kicks - making him even more versatile. Thrives in zone, which is what we most often play.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Where did you have Kobie Turner last year? We got 1st round production from a 3rd round pick (two really). Hope that's because the FO has figured something out that they can replicate this year, and not just that we got lucky.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
They have nothing to write about, so they write ( or in this case talk) about nothing. And we are so starved for content we get sucked in. I need to take a break until the draft gets underway. (Unless of course, the Rams make more moves.)by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Ferragamo to Waddy as a youth. As an adult it has to be the tackle. I remember where I was standing what I was doing how I was freaking out as the Titans moved methodically down the field. After it happened I just sat there and soaked it in for an hour. I think I was hosting a party I don't remember when people left. I do remember that my ex-wife quietly cleaned up and just let me sit andby RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Don't love it. Too many good players available in the second round.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Thanks for the clipsby RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
I'd be more inclined to go Edge then DT than the other way around, but it depends on how they like those players. I am nervous about Chop Robinson. We don't need another Greg Robinson who has all the tools but doesn't get production. Not saying this describes Chop, but I am nervous that it would.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
But at least he did lead the lowly Cardinals to the Super Bowl.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
I don't know if "penalties per snap played" is a stat, but if it were I think he would be very high up there. He's got skills. But I worry about his head.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
What a frustrating rookie year. One minute he would make a great play - the next he would do something boneheaded that cost the team. Can we get the first without as much of the 2nd? Or is he a permanent bonehead?by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
What a good pickup, at least according to PFF grades.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
I know he was a pretty good QB for a few years after he was drafted. But why was he still on his couch last year? I will always love him for leading the defeat of the 49ers last season. But that game - didn't he run more than he threw? For that game, he did what he needed to do to win. But if the running is what makes him good - well - we saw that he won't last more than a few games doingby RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Maybe we just hired a high-ceiling TE, after we let the Seahawks pay for that learning curve.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
"I’ll note, despite questions this may not actually affect the injured Tyler Higbee in 2024, though could afterward. Higbee signed a two-year, $17 million extension last September and the Rams would incur $11 million in dead money if he were released. After 2024 that sum becomes more manageable, and the Rams do expect Higbee to return from ACL and MCL repair in-season."by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
??? Why are we spending money on TEs when we don't use them much in this offense? Why is this guy worth this much? Do they have a plan for him? I would say they probably do but they never seemed to have a plan for Tutu. I love our FO but, like Tutu, this one is a bit of a head scratcher.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
But I think we really need a top CB. And I think they are harder to find. The question for all of them - which position is hardest to judge in the draft? Is it harder to project a pass rusher, CB or Center? If there is an 80% chance that the JPJ is the monster we hope he will be, but only a 60% chance that Mitchell lives up to expectations, that might change my judgment. Regardless, ifby RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Just saying, I'm a lot older.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
But I don't see OT as a huge need this year. Plus I'm scarred from multiple terrible 1st round OTs. (Greg Robinson, Barron, etc.) I want a CB in the first round, to go with the pass rusher we get in FA. Then probably OL after that if we lose Shelton/Dotson or both.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
But remember that they are the same team that gave us Tutu Atwell instead of Creed Humphrey. Still, last year's draft I think earns them general absolution on the Atwell blunder. The draft is never a sure thing, but holy cow did we do well last year!by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Smith had some good stuff going on when he was with the Titans, leading to his head coaching job which has been less successful. But I would guess Ragone learned from him and we may be able to steal some ideas from that experience. Wasn't Smith particularly successful in the running game?by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
There should be at least two Edge guys and two CBs on that list. We're not going to spend big on a FA safety or TE. Seriously? This is a rough time of year for football news and analysis. I do agree, though, that Brian Burns seems likely to be a top target for the Ramsby RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
