As he settled in for an introductory news conference Friday, it was difficult to ascertain what new Rams edge rusher Jared Verse was more excited about: His selection the night before with the 19th pick in the NFL draft? Or that moments earlier on Friday, the Rams had traded up to select former Florida State teammate Braden Fiske. Verse had traveled to Southern California from Phoenix and,by RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com
Round 1, No. 19: Jared Verse, DE, Florida State My take: The Rams had a clear need on the defensive line after defensive tackle Aaron Donald retired. General manager Les Snead said adding to that area of the field would be a priority at some point in the draft, but Los Angeles addressed the need right away by making Verse their first first-round pick since 2016. Kobie Turner, who played nose tacby RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com
No. 83: Blake Corum, RB, Michigan Dane Brugler’s analysis Corum is smaller than ideal for his run style, but he makes quick, urgent decisions with the low center of gravity and burst to bounce runs or maneuver through congestion. His determination to maximize each carry will translate well to an NFL offense, although his effectiveness on third downs will determine his upside.

I smell Super Bowl in the near future. REALLY like what the Rams have done in the 1st 2 rounds, and I don't feel we paid too much for Fiske.by RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com

“It’s interesting, I go way back to 2017 (when) John Sullivan was here,” Kupp said, “you had Jared (Goff), who was a younger quarterback, you had John Sullivan who had been in the offense, been in the league for a long time, been in Sean’s offense for a long time. When I got in, the center did everything. Jared was learning a lot from John, how John saw the game (and) how he wanted the protectionby RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com
So the following vids are up on TheRams.com, and the videos are strictly on the players being interviewed. But you can hear (and see the closed captions) the questions being asked.

She also asks Cooper Kupp about the impact of Avila moving to center (and he responds with aby RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com

Keon Coleman is a poor man's Odunze - has similar size 6'3, 213.

Brett states "Nobody guessed that DT Aaron Donald would retire in 2024." Well, it's known that the Rams anticipated this ever since AD signed his extension. as well as throughout the 2023 season. Stafford, OTOH, clearly has stated - even before the video which was awesome, and stating he wants a gold jacket and at least one more SB win.

Thanks Florida - such a great video. Stafford/Kupp/Wentz were amazing but seeing McVay coach 'em up was an awesome experience!by RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com
I like it - and see it the same way you do. The Rams don't need a plethora of late picks, so better to get more higher 1st-4th rounders this year. Fingers crossed it turns out this way.by RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com
Puka Nacua entering Year 2: 'The standard is still set very high, and I don't think I'm close to reaching it' THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. – Puka Nacua raised the bar for a rookie season by an NFL wide receiver in historic fashion in 2023, but by his own admission, it's nowhere close to the very high standard he has for himself – in part because of an accomplished veteran teammate within the Rams' wiby RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com

Hey 43, this is no reflection of you but Mr Stuter is grasping at straws here. 1) You don't trade for a practice squad player, you just sign them. Bruss is not worth a bag of peanuts, sorry to say. 2) Long may have decent value this coming year, as long as he can stay healthy. The new KO rules make blockers more important (as there is less ground between 'lines') so a TE with blocking skiby RamsFanSince69 - RamsFootballFans.com

I think this guy - nicknamed Stretch - has the potential to have a huge difference for McVay and the Rams next year.

From same article - Breer speculating on Wilson • The Rams have been a logical landing spot for Jets QB Zach Wilson. I’d say maybe even more so now with Jimmy Garoppolo signed in Los Angeles.
