And if he fails then the concern shifts towards the scouting department (though no one is perfect in their evaluations). Anyway, the more hard working, high motor types along DLine the better, IMO. Anyone with any pride should fight not to get outworked by the another.by 1st Rounder - RamsFootballFans.com
But rumor has it the team made a run at Broncos WR Courtland Sutton. And the 6th round and UDFA WRs brought in were slot WR types.by 1st Rounder - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteIf you don’t believe that the Rams overpay now, wait until we get to day two of the 2025 draft and see if you still feel that way. Not just based on how Fiske plays, but based on how he plays compared to every other player who was picked 52nd or later. Every other player won't fit the Rams scheme. And the Rams weren't guaranteed to land a successful player. There will be busts in that larby 1st Rounder - RamsFootballFans.com
Today I am glad that the trade didn't happen. But, today I also know that he wouldn't have had that much time with Aaron Donald & that the 2022 season turned out to be a injury fest. At the time, I wasn't so sure as I believe(d) that both Burns and Donald on the same team would have been a nightmare for opposing offenses and we've seen the team adjust and adapt via corresponding personnelby 1st Rounder - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteJYB Giants just gave a 2nd and a 5th for the same guy. Yes, the Rams would have had him for a short time on a rookie deal, but they'd still have to pay him as the Giants just did. Column today from NBC, below... In fact, according to Seth Walder of ESPN Analytics, the Rams overpaid by the most any team has overpaid to move up on Day Two of the draft in at least the last six years.by 1st Rounder - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteJYB Quote1st RounderBut, I can't recall any example of Snead getting as one might say "fleeced," otherwise. Can you? Offering up 2 first rounders and a 2nd for Brian Burns was insanity. Had Carolina not saved Snead from himself, we wouldn't have Avila, Verse and next year's first rounder. He gave up two firsts for Jalen Ramsey and then unloaded him for nothing.

Dallas Turner. Great athlete, but I was scared that he would be a speed bump vs. the run and he's got a ways to go to be an effective pass rusher, IMO. He's probably not going to be able to live off coverage sacks in the NFL.by 1st Rounder - RamsFootballFans.com
I can recall examples of the team taking less in player trades in order to appease the traded talent into going where they wanted to go instead of shipping them somewhere they didn't want to go for higher compensation. I've got no problem with that as it probably helps future situations in the building. But, I can't recall any example of Snead getting as one might say "fleeced," otheby 1st Rounder - RamsFootballFans.com
That's the real issue. A 2025 2nd rounder is only worth a 2024 3rd rounder in the 2024 draft. The Rams really wanted Corum or whomever else they targeted that was selected ahead of him.by 1st Rounder - RamsFootballFans.com
I'm glad that the Rams didn't wind up with Dallas Turner and preferred his teammate Chris Braswell. So getting Verse instead of Turner is a positive for me.by 1st Rounder - RamsFootballFans.com
What if the Panthers had a player targeted and needed more compensation to take the risk of possibly missing out on him? Should the Rams have simply passed on getting their guy? Quite frankly, I believe the Panthers should have stood pat and selected C Jackson Powers Johnson instead of banking on Austin Corbett trying to play a position he's already failed at trying to play in the past, butby 1st Rounder - RamsFootballFans.com

If the Rams are on the clock and the BPA is an offensive player, I hope the Rams select him. Sure, they could draft a lesser rated rookie defender and fill a hole with a body, but that doesn't mean the immediate need is filled if he isn't that good or has typical rookie woes. The draft is crapshoot. Take the best player within reason.by 1st Rounder - RamsFootballFans.com

A future 1st round pick to move up for a OT? Maybe if he was rated as high as Orlando Pace was coming out of college, he was the one missing piece, and this was a weak OT draft class.by 1st Rounder - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteJimYoungblood53 Quote1st Rounder If a player can't set the EDGE vs. the run, he's simply a situation pass rusher ala Yannick Ngakoue who, btw, is still a free agent at just 29 years old. not the best comparison because he's been a 4-3 end and he was a 3rd round pick, not a 1st rounder. But, Rams would love to have an edge get 8-10 sacks a year for the next 7 years. If Young does that, hby 1st Rounder - RamsFootballFans.com

There's no way the Rams use the #19 selection on a WR and he's not a starter. Robinson (and his one year contract), Atwell, and Skow will be taking the backseat while the team will do everything in their power to get the kid ready for the season.by 1st Rounder - RamsFootballFans.com

BPA within reason. Especially given that teams draft players and not positions. But, in a hypothetical scenario where you have all players on the board with equal grades you have to take the QB. It's the most important position. Next would be the LT or maybe a pass rusher. But it's doubtful the guys available will have equal grades when the Rams are on the clock.by 1st Rounder - RamsFootballFans.com
I'd hate for the Rams to take a lesser rated OT over a higher rated player at another position. That increase the chances of nabbing a bust and still having a hole to fill.by 1st Rounder - RamsFootballFans.com
