Quoteden-the-coach Alt I believe will be an All Pro LT for the next decade maybe more and Rome Odunze is a game changer with a unique set of skills in the red zone plus the Rams only have two WR's under contract next year. but sometimes you have to do it. I agree with martz and it's not just him, Alt has too many issues --- guys get under him ... but does not mean he can't learn. Looks likeby JimYoungblood53 - RamsFootballFans.com
Bowers? Turner? Alt? Rome? anotehr T? hard for me to see how any of them would be better than guy we get at 19 plus our #2 this year and next year's #1. I don't see Kellen Winslow, Von Miller, Joe Thomas or Julio Jones here Maybe a couple have a shot ...I dunno ... hard to know -- Rome seems most likely Putting faith in Spagsveney, Snisher, McSneadby JimYoungblood53 - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteRamboni My predictions are sound: there will be a lot of claims of "reaches" and "steals" and who the heck is that guy? With a few of "what were they thinking, they could have had xxx" and is anybody jumping in the pool tonight?

If they have a player they love --- and feel is worth next years #1 and #2, plus change ... maybe 5th ... they will do it ...

1. Chicago Bears | Caleb Williams, QB, USC USC Trojans quarterback Caleb Williams scrambles out of the pocket and looks to pass. Williams has been the presumptive No. 1 pick for a while and the Bears have treated him as such.

Quotefullcurl Ya, I still thought he would be at least a good 4-3 strong side DE. At the time I loved the things Dick LeBeau was doing with the Steelers 3-4 front and was hoping we would switch over. I think at the time there were only about 4 teams running a 3-4. I think Adam went to Washington later on and they were running a 3-4 and it worked out a little better for him.

QuoteRampage2K- of course not, lol...but they won't go DT either based strictly on "need" it is a balancing act and the Rams have proven to be pretty good at it. I don't think picking defense with 3-4 of the first picks is the way to go about drafting is the best way to fix a flat tire is the point First, DT is not necessarily the "need" it's one of them.

QuoteRampage2K- it is an offensive league these days, and if you draft strictly for "need" you are doing it wrong. No one does that. "Strictly" It's not binary --- "need" vs "BPA" Go to about 3-6 minutes of the McSnead presser yesterday. They said needs matter --- You cannot ignore them and go "strictly" BPA..

QuoteRamsDynasty I remember when this was mentioned earlier the OT Alt thing was a scenario I didn't know I wanted until I heard it and I did.

ESPN Insider Dan Graziano named the Rams as a team making calls to move up in this year's draft and getting aggressive in pursuing the top talent in this year's class. The people I talk to think we're likely to see more trades in the second half of the first round than in the first half.
