We also paid to get someone now instead of next year. There are multiple things to consider, but the "Stafford" window is now so making every pick count is about the now. I had a problem with it when we did the trade but am better with it now. All good if this guy pans out. We are gonna need LT and WR high next year. ILB and CB should be high as well.by azramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
We only have two receivers under contract for 2025, Kupp & Nacua. They had to draft one this year, just too many needs early and didn't do this until the 6th round. He was drafted to be a body on the 2025 team and beyond. Lets hope he turns out to be more than that.by azramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Nobody is bringing up that next year's class does not have the talent that this one does. And, should be for a later 2nd round pick as well. Good points 43.by azramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
I absolutely care, but it was necessary to get Fiske. We will only have 3 Wr,s under contract and no LT signed. And we are losing our starting ILB to free agency if he's not resigned. So draft priority is LT-WR-ILB-CB in that order. Would been nice to have the second, but I would have done the same to get Fiske.by azramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
And what do we do, draft an Edge? Brennan Jackson. Someone ain't makin the final 5 we keep on the 53 man roster.by azramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
We don't need another EDGE. We have 4 on the roster in their 1st or 2nd years alone. Plus Hoecht and Van Valkenberg. Can only keep 5.by azramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Broke his leg in the fall. Couldn't run at the combine but think he ran a 4.42 later. He probably won't last too long in round 2. My guess the injury pushed him down along with all the offensive players taken in round 1. Kool Aid McKinstry is still available too.by azramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Great pick. A need too.by azramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Not a defensive player taken in first 13 picks. Unreal, and there are some gems.by azramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
This is a frickin godsend. Woul really like a shot at Jared Verseby azramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
If they could get Brian Thomas in the first or Ricky Piersall in the second I would be ok with that. Otherwise, I don't want them drafting a WR until the 3rd at least. I think they will draft one somewhat early and a second in the later rounds.by azramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Watch "Mathew Stafford Locked In" on NFL Network. Watched it last night and at the end he states he wants to win another Super Bowl, maybe two while he is with his wife and kids. This is very telling. He ain't retiring anytime soon.by azramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Joe Alt is an ex tight end who lacks sand in his pants. I saw a DE just back him up and run over him this past year. That said, Martz is no judge of college talent, that's for sure. We had some of our worst drafts under his watch. Anyone ever remember Trung Candidate?by azramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
I really want the Rams to draft this guy. Was hoping he would make the 3rd round, maybe now he will for sure. Bobby Browns last year comin up. DUI being reported on ESPN.by azramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
He wouldn't play edge. He's a big DE that runs 4.95 40 yd dash. He's like Hoecht, nightmare in coverage.by azramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
He's an option for sure. I don't want a trade up in the 1st rd. I think we have to get our pass rusher then, especially after the loss of AD. If Turner, Verse, and Latu are gone at 19, I might opt for Chop in a trade down from 19. Looks like he has it all but the production in college. Would be crazy to have two 4.4 40 edges on the corners of the d.by azramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
The 23.7 mil on Spotrac still does not include the Curl, Garappolo, Parkinson, and Rozeboom contracts. Still probably waiting on details of those deals. Should change this week at some point.by azramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Well I prefer it go like this for our first 4 picks in rounds 1-3: 1) ED Laiatu Latu 2) DT Braden Fiske 3) CB Max Melton 3) DT Dewayne Carter Just think we need this much on defense to be competitive this year.by azramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
We had 3 5th rounders but when comp picks became official last week the third 5th became a 7th instead. So we lost one 5th for a 7th. 11 picks total.by azramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
The 23.7 mil from Spotrac does not include Curl, Garoppolo, Parkinson, and Rozeboom contracts.by azramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
The three year extension 22-24 that AD signed is fully guaranteed! 3 years 95 million. I'm thinking we are on the hook for all of it. But Albany will knowby azramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
He doesn't get his salary since he retired. No roster bonus, but it looks like he gets other bonuses. Spotrac has it listed but it's complicated for me to figure what the total cap hit is for this year and next. I'm sure we will find out soon where this leaves the team.by azramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
So he did a restructure today or yesterday to free up 9 mil this year only to kick that into 2025. Then he retired? What is the total hit for 2024 and also 2025? I only think he gets remainder of signing bonus money left on the deal, correct? Not sure of date for his roster bonus this year either.by azramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
He gets a 5 mil roster bonus Monday, so he will be cut or restricted before then. Still have a few days.by azramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
We get two 3rds as comp for losing Raheem. This year and next year.by azramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
That's another 5 mil. Think 2nd rd tender is $4.88 mil. Curious to see how much we have left.by azramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
So is that after what we need to sign all the draft picks? Albany, where are you?by azramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
We definitely need two drafted. I'm hoping one falls to us at 19 (Mitchell or Arnold) and we draft one later in the 5th or 6th. Praying we land a veteran edge in FA to make this happen.by azramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
He's intriguing. Played LT with 33 3/4" arms. 6-5, 320 and didn't allow a sack in 2023. Practiced all positions at Senior Bowl including center. Supposedly very strong and a good athlete, can move.by azramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
