Can’t disagree with a single word here. Heck, I’ve been pounding the table for edge help for several weeks. Doesn’t have to be Burns or Quinn or any other ‘big name’ player. But does need to be an upgrade over what we’ve got. What we’ve got apparently just isn’t good enough against quality QB’s. Sorry. About Floyd. I think I read that he’s been playing hurt. But he played hurt last year, toby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
RamBRO quote: Two questions: 1. Would you offer our 2023 2nd & 3rd round picks for Burns? 2. If the answer is yes, where do you suppose that places our defense? Currently, with no pass rush (outside of AD and a blitz from Ramsey) and a beat-up secondary, the Rams defense gives up 17.3 ppg. Where do you think we might be with better health on the back end and Burns opposite Floyd? Doby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteLMU93 Don't put the cart before the horse.... How high is the Ram need for OL now that starters are returning, 93? Imo, it’s at most 3rd behind Edge and RB. Therefore, since we agree that Rams can only address 2 needs, OL probably doesn’t get addressed further than it’s already been.

I picked McVay, too. His shortcomings on O this year have most disappointed me. Not a player but his impact is enormous. BTW, Gaines has a shoulder injury he’s trying to play through.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Here’s fanotodd… The only real negative I saw was the slow start, including another pick 6. We just don’t have many lousy teams on the schedule to allow us half of the game to figure it out. So if the Rams can start the games with a either a better game plan or a quicker adjustment (like after a couple of fruitless drives), they will be in these games coming up. 1)The running game lookby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

I disagree with your premise #1. Once Allen and Shelton return then I consider our OL plenty good enough. Already discussed in another thread. I’ve already opined that acquiring a ‘solid’ Edge would be desirable. It’s #1 on my to-do list. Not sure we can get to another SB with our current edge roster, frankly.

Quoteroman18 we can't leave the draft bare with no picks above a 3rd round.....we can't keep doing that. We need to start at some time holding fast with who we have in house to build on. We don't have any cap space to get major competitors.....IF they intend to bring back OBJ in Nov. that is going to take up some cap space.

QuoteRamsdude It's our biggest weakness. Losing Boom just made it our #1 need. IMO, LT is the way to go. Is there another Whit out there? We did it once, can we do it again? I know we were grooming Boom but he seems to have injury issues and how effective will be after this Achilles tear? Maybe a possible move for Boom to interior OL?

We all probably have a rather long wish list but that’s not realistic. I suspect that Rams can only do one, maybe 2 moves. I think a move at edge would yield most bang for the buck. Doesn’t have to be a big name like Quinn. Just a solid player there kinda like the Corbett move a few years ago. Someone that Rams consider a scheme fit but is sitting there under the fans radar?

Gotta disagree, dude. I think this 49er game will be a good barometer telling us where we are as an O and where McVay is as a play caller. And with Allen back whether our OL can get the job done, especially establishing the run. If the O and play calling look good then I think Rams can be a playoff threat. But if not? This might not be our year.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteramBRO Have to wonder if things are a bit harder to come by for Quinn without Khalil Mack on the opposite side of the D-line? If only the Rams had someone on their D-line that commands as much attention as Mack. Well played, BRO. Take a bow, sir!by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

He does well at RT also. I thought he would break into the starting OL at one of the G positions. He was clearly better than Edwards and Shelton. I still don't see what they see in Evans.
