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
Does the quality and veracity of a post simply not matter? - 2 months ago
43, I am not as adamant as LA Ram, but what makes this board unique is NOT the quantity of its posts, but rather the quality. Shouldn't the quality of this board be kept as the main standard, rather than the idea that pretty much anything that has the word "Rams" in it is OK to post? There are so many "kiddie boards" filled with such trash posts that its not worth goingby RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Drafts are rarely logical. We always see runs on player groups - 2 months ago
Draft board rankings quickly evaporate as certain position groups suddenly start being drained of desired players. This run happened last year as lots of offense guys went first, which wound up surprisingly pushing Verse down to us. I realize these mocks are just for fun. In the end, it gets more and more unpredictable as we get deeper and deeper into the 1st round and then beyond due to theseby RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Hilarious. "Pundits" have Rams everywhere and nowhere on certain players - 3 months ago
The Rams are just the best at keeping everyone completely in the dark on their player acquisition plans. The Rams ARE getting a QB....they are NOT getting a QB. The Rams ARE looking for a CB as highest priority.... they are NOT looking for a CB as highest priority. The Rams might draft a RB high.... no way the Rams draft an RB high. On and on it goes. I just sit here in and chuckle.by RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
He's a solid player. - 3 months ago
Good on STs, and can start. That said, we probably need better. And I hope they draft an ILB pretty high. I think Speights has a chance to be pretty good, but who knows. And the pick up from the Falcons is no slouch. I can't call ILB much more than adequate, but sometimes that's only what you need. Rams tend to emphasize spending money on the skill positions.by RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
QBs always go higher that we expect - 3 months ago
There's no 2 ways about it. QB is so valuable, that they are always elevated in the draft. QBs that get picked later are guys that are "larks". No one really expects very much of them, but.... they do have a characteristic or two that is at least worth kicking the tires for a couple of years to see what...against the odds.... might pan out.by RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Hasn't this been the case for many years? - 3 months ago
I might be confusing him with someone else, but wasn't there some red flags in this direction even when he was coming out of college? If so, the NFL really has to take a hard look at this. Not very good for the Shield to promote a guy who seems to have a real aggressive approach off-field to dealing with women.by RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
The Rams will NEVER give us a hint of what they're thinking - 3 months ago
Next to the Bellicheck Pats, the Rams have to be the most closed-mouth organization in the NFL. You just can't pry anything from them on player acquisition, FA or Draft. And, after hearing from their scouting folks, it has been designed to conceal their interest. As Dead says, there are some things you can see that gives the slightest hint: College seniors, team captains, workaholics,by RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
I agree, but at the same time the Players will want more money - 3 months ago
I suspect the Players will want more money is some form or another in order to expand to 18 games. After all, who wants to work more hours and get paid the same? I really don't like the idea at all. The football season is already too long when you add in the playoff format. I don't hear fans screaming for it. Anymore, injury luck plays about as important a role in determining a winner as doesby RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
The Rams seem to have a counter-culture draft approach; makes guessing tough - 3 months ago
There are NFL teams that aren't terribly hard to figure out who, what, and how they'll draft, because they pretty much use a rather standard formula, that then combines with fairly obvious need. The Rams are different. There are, to me, among the toughest to figure because there are traits they go on with their own grading system, because they are extremely closed mouthed, and because they oftby RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
This is getting old. Rams need to shut up about it. Nothing more is needed - 3 months ago
The Rams need to stop responding to this. It's beginning to feel defensive when no further info is needed. The don't need Kupp any more. They wanted Adams. End of story. It's all business when a player is negotiating a contract, but it is hurt feelings when the team no longer wants to pay them for business reasons.by RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Hate is not disagreement over a player's value to the team - 3 months ago
I really dislike this overuse/misuse of the term "hate". I haven't heard anyone here "hate" any Rams player. We have disagreements over what certain players bring to the team, and what their value might be. I'm a very long term Rams fan, and I don't think being a fan means that I'm supposed to stick up for every player on our roster. Might work for high school or college teby RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Good answer. Let's stop with the soap opera stuff. - 3 months ago
Good grief. This wasn't a marriage. It was a pay for play contract. During his best years, Kupp was worth it. Now, he has (as do all players) declined, his availability has diminished substantially and he has been usurped as a player by Nacua. We don't need 2 Nacua's or 2 Kupp's however one wishes to think about it. I'm glad McVay answered as he did. Kupp landed on his feet just fine, stillby RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
I think the Rams may draft a RB pretty high if they think Kyren's number is too big - 3 months ago
I suspect that the Rams wanted to talk with Kyren's agent now to determine if a deal can get done in the range they are willing to go. Their determination will affect their drafting. If they doubt they can get the deal they want, they will likely sign a RB much higher than they otherwise would have and figure to lose him after this season.by RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Sure. Not hard to understand. - 3 months ago
Shelton is a "B" Center. In other words, he's good. He's been known to be very good on the Oline calls. He's steady. Tons of starting experience. Clearly he improves the Oline overall. Limmer becomes the 6th man, and can play all 3 interior OL spots. He's got good size, played a bunch of OG in College, and is plug and play at Center. He can develop, and become the Center starter agaby RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Hard to disagree with. Perhaps the Rams need to draft for immediate impact - 3 months ago
I've thought about what you so ably said. If the Rams feel they are in a 2 year Superbowl window, then spending anymore than a 4th round pick for a potential replacement for Stafford can't be the way tot go. You draft guys that can help immediately, where as starters or rotation, or good depth. That being the case, I can see a really good Slot Receiver, an OT, a CB, and maybe an ILB.

Only to the slightest degree should they have a say - 3 months ago
The idea that draft picks can pick and choose where they play comes with FA, in time, after they've proved themselves; and not the draft. No matter where the players play, they are going to make a lot of money. And, the minute you start allowing draft picks to have a larger say, then the entire idea of the inverse draft gets blown up. They all assume they're going to be anywhere from successfby RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
No way this young man loses 100 lbs!! - 3 months ago
Naw. If he was 7 ft tall, OK. He is Michelin Tire Man fat. No good for the Pro game.by RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
I doubt the Rams are putting anything at all out there. - 3 months ago
This time of year rumors are a dime a dozen as the media goes off on its own story lines that have little do to with reality or even anything other than a bunch of talking heads talking among themselves. The Rams are among the most close-mouthed teams in the league. They don't give the slightest clue to what they are thinking. So, I sure haven't heard anything from Snead or McVay that gives uby RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Here's the bigger question: how well do these young men play football? - 3 months ago
I think where the Rams and a few other teams have a leg up in the draft, is that they will make timed speed, even a level of height and weight, subservient to how well a player plays the game of football. Add to that, a formula that is so glaringly obvious that the Rams prefer guys who have made it the hard way, have incredible passion not just for the game but for always getting better through hby RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
I like it. This "street" crap that has been brought in needs to go. - 3 months ago
Everyone understands in this super physical sport that tempers will flare. Some pushing, shoving, etc. are bound to occur. But the finger and hand gestures that we all know relates to gang stuff and if not has most definite cultural meaning nearly always of a negative kind, need to go. Sportsmanship does matter in sport. I sure matters to me.by RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
This puts the Steelers in a no win situation - 3 months ago
Well, Tomlin is now stuck with Aaron Rogers or throwing darts. And, you can only imagine how Super Self Rogers is licking his chops. He now has every card stacked for himself in dealing with the Steelers. Truly amazingly mishandled by Tomlin. For that good of team to have NO viable starting QB at this point, and with the cupboard FA market bare, and no high draft pick to get one....??? They wby RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
I love the ILB pick at the trade down to 44 - 3 months ago
I'm not knowledgible enough for the particular players, but position-wise, I really want to see the Rams get bigger, tougher, stronger up the middle. Punta Ford solves half the issue. The next is a studdish ILB. The kid you named is said by the draft guys to be just that. Crossing my fingers.by RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Funny! He talks like a 23 year old kid. Oh, yeah.... he is. - 3 months ago
Oh to be 23 again and believe in an ideal world. We'll see how he feels about his rather future pronouncement when the time gets nearer, and he's lived a little longer.by RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Mike Tomlin the poster child of the stability vs. evolution dilemma - 3 months ago
Mike Tomlin is both the Steelers anchor of stability and anchor that freezes its evolution from morphing into the modern game. Seeing that his short sightedness on QBs and the passing game have been ruinous for this once great franchise also says that a guy like him has a shelf life for a team. He has become the newest version of Jeff Fisher. I guess I'm posting about it, because when, atby RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
