Utterly ridiculous internet fodder - 2 months 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 - 2 months 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 - 2 months 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" - 2 months 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.

If the Rams are all in for 2025 and 2026, it's a good idea - 2 months 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 - 2 months 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? - 2 months 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. - 2 months 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 - 2 months 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 - 2 months 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 - 2 months ago

According to who? Every team grades differently - 2 months 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. - 2 months 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 - 2 months 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 - 2 months 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. - 2 months 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 - 2 months 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
Exactly. The Rams FO is creating opportunity; just make the right choices - 2 months ago
The media generally only knows how to mimic one another and talk about the top 10 or 15 guys, and then its "whatever" after that. The former GMs and HCs all say this draft is chocked full of very good players who will be solid NFL players, just not very many stars. The Rams ought to come away with likely 3 - 5 guys that will make the roster, with another 2-3 that will go to theby RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Listening to SiriusXM's former GMs, teams look ahead concerning draft quality - 2 months ago
Snead has said it before, as well as other current GMs and those now on radio: you always look ahead to what is coming out the following year to help you what to do this year. The Rams must think more blue-chip players will come out next year than there is available this year. I also realize that the rule of thumb is that you devalue a next years pick by one round, from the perspective of todby RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Call me negative, but I don't think the best QB this year is all that good - 2 months ago
If this was last year, I'm not sure Ward gets drafted in the 1st round, let alone #1 overall. I certainly would have put Bo Nix above Ward. Tennessee is about to push all their chips into the middle of the table on a guy who doesn't merit it because they are desperate for a QB and because Ward probably is the best of this pretty poor bunch. That's a really bad way to make a choice. Ward is aby RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Agreed; but all the more reason to trade down if they can - 2 months ago
It at all possible, I think the Rams might prefer to trade down into the 35 - 40 range if they can find a partner because they don't have any urgent need anywhere. But, I also imagine they have their eye on a guy or two they'd stand pat for if he keeps falling to them. Move up? I greatly doubt it, but with Snead you can never say never.by RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
It HAS to be Robinson. - 2 months ago
This guy was hyped as the 2nd coming of Orlando Pace. He wound up as the 1st coming of Joe Noteboom. What a terrible draft analysis of this guy that was universally hailed as a future HOF LT.by RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Much too expensive. He'll want $20 mil plus - 2 months ago
Really good player. But he'll want top dollar and probably 3 year deal with lots of guaranteed money. I just don't see the Rams doing that. Too many other guys going to have to be paid starting next year.by RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Trade down, if anyone wants to trade (50/50). Mason Taylor TE. - 2 months ago
Rams HAVE to be thinking about next year in the TE department. Unless they think they have Higbee's replacement on the roster, they need to develop a #1 TE for next year because this will certainly be Higbee's final year with the Rams. Somewhere in the first 3- 8 or so picks of the 2nd round they can probably get Taylor, and pick up a 3rd. Depending on how far down in the 3rd round that pickby RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Glad he mentioned about the Rams perhaps drafting a QB - 2 months ago
Saying that he gets it and if the Rams do draft one, he wants download all he can into the young man is a great message not just at the QB position but for all other vets and positions on the team as well. He knows that as long as he wants to play, and can play at this elite level, the Rams want him and will do what they have to in order to keep him. And he's made it clear enough, that at thiby RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
