QuoteBC Ramsfan Glad to have him. BC Same. Full effort snap to snap and can affect QBs at times as a rotational piece. That is valuable, and maybe he keeps growing into the job. I am glad he is back as well. :beercanby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
I think it is a given that they will at least attempt to take advantage of this class. Also it is a need for us in terms of adding speed and downfield threat to assist our underneath strength with Kupp & Nacua. But the monkey wrench in all this is the question of whether Kupp's medicals are more concerning than anyone has let on. I mention that only because it is possible, as I don't haveby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotesix2stack I'm in agreement with you. Turner can be moved to RDE and the Rams can look for a bigger, physical presence to play NT. I think Rozeboom is adequate, but a real thumper next to Jones would be ideal. I would like to see the Rams move Hoecht to LDE and draft an EDGE at 19. If anything, Hoecht can be a rotational player on the DL. If I were building a defense, I would prioritiby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Generational talent is a stretch. He's a high quality target over the middle, which is hard to find. Will almost surely be a good player at the least so very high floor and starts quickly. I don't know that he's going to separate deep on NFL corners. Sort of think that part of his game will evaporate in fact. But he's still a fine prospect just not quite as great a prospect as he was origiby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
He'll get a shot to come in and compete. From there it's all up to him. So in that regard being on the roster is all that matters.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Now maybe his medical is iffy. Will have to be if he makes it to 52. Not like I've seen them so I have no idea, but him falling to 52 feels criminal to me. I'd take him in the teens personally, for the simple reason that his injuries led to him developing in the pocket and some team is going to benefit. And QB is so hard to find. Note I'm not saying the Rams should take him at 19. Ratherby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
I concede that being there and seeing how the ball comes out of their hand and how low they can hang it and still get it there on those deep outs are powerful things to witness. But for teams I'd hope it's just a "ok he's got enough arm" block check rather than something that nudges you one way or the other. A nice night out away from the owner for the GM maybe, where they can pound aby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
First it's a one year deal. When you ink a guy who has a history of being hurt, and he's got a contract offseason hanging over his head, I think that can lead to good things. Of course injuries are not something you can control. But it seems like a lot of guys on a one year tend to go all out and play through some of the lesser stuff that might keep them off the field if it were to be a multiby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com

Quotenantucketramfan In round, what if this scenario unfolds... 1. Brock Bowers (TE Georgia) falls to the Rams in round 1. Take him? 2. JJ McCarthy (QB Michigan) falls to the Rams in round 1.

Quotenantucketramfan Given the Ram's current draft positions in rounds 1-3, here are four players I'd be very happy with. I am trying to be realistic about what players might be available when the Ram's picks come up. Round: 1. Latu, UCLA, Ed (assuming his medicals are okay) 2.

QuoteRam_Ruler I think the Rams want to be competent on defense but they aren't concerned with being an elite unit. I think that's true in now they spent the money.

QuoteRam_Ruler They want their offense to be the identity. It can work, especially if they hit on their draft picks. This is why I don't rule out receiver in round one and I don't rule out them not using their first round pick on an edge either. I think they want to be unstoppable on offense and at least stoppable with their defense. There is some truth to it I suppose, in how they stacked thosby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
If we need him vs SF he is guaranteed to have the game of his life. And outside of that we are better now at QB2 than we've been for a very long time.

Quotealyoshamucci Well ... I'm not just being Devil's Advocate here ... Harrison, Nabers and Odunze are separated by a sheet of paper ... The 3rd WR has been coming off the board at 9.

So my preference is to build things that route. If they take DT early then maybe move down a bit and take Fiske, who has the bigger frame to grow into that 5T role. I'd also like to see a dev type later on, to ensure we have enough beef in the pipeline on that side of the ball. I feel like we were a little light in that room last year. So some size would be welcome.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Quoteden-the-coach Quotemerlin Wilson is a higher level talent than we could get midround or later. He can make throws that put him at a certain value level those others can't touch.

Fiske. I hadn't watched very much of the DTs prior to AD retiring. Now that he's gone I've been working through their tape and he's really something. Has good size/length for what we need, he's hard to move, and he's athletic. I think he may be the Rams target. Now that aside I've previously thought several other players were the target. So that's not worth all that much. But Fiske shoulby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com

If he survives that run on OT that feels inevitable the Rams undoubtedly consider him. The guy moves well, has smooth feet, and apparently his arms are quite long. So idk how he stacks up vs other options at edge or wideout or corner there. But paying two OGs makes me think the plan is to have a young LT under cost control.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotestlramz Ernest Jones is a stud. I think he's got a ways to go to be a stud. He's solid. But I agree what we need is a 3 down ILB next to him who can let us be in a bit more base defense.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteBerendsenRam I don't think Jackson is a LT. He deserves a ton of credit for gutting out a good season, given that he's not really a guy with the ideal feet for the job.

It also could be that they want to take this offense to the next level and they know they need an explosive threat outside to do it. And this isn't a new thing.
