Great question! How will we be different.... 1. Our defensive backfield may (hopefully!) go from worst (horrible) to average (middle of the NFL pack) and that's a big jump and great news! 2. We'll generate more pressure from the front four, and get more total sacks. In part because of the influx of new talent, current players ascending further, and a new defensive coach.

The Rams have a pretty high opinion about Josh Wallace. I think he got good money to sign. He may make the team in my opinion. Better than DK.by nantucketramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Yes, they do. Your small post is important and is a big bet for the Rams! I wish I was as confident. Kupp's age and re-ocuring leg injuries don't give me lots of confidence he'll make it through a long season and playoffs. I wish the Rams had a really good plan B.by nantucketramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
During the draft this year, some other announcer on TV set with Kiper on national TV said Mel Kiper should be in the Hall of Fame. Kiper was sitting there, and was sort of surprised. but everyone on the set realized "yes, he is right, Kiper should be!!". I never thought of it before, but KIPER SHOULD BE IN THE HALL OF FAME! He may have been in the right place at the right time iby nantucketramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Characteristics of players chosen: Toughness. Intensity. Physicality. Leadership. Maturity. Strength. Love the picks.... will push many existing players to pick up their game or bye bye. Completes the retooling of the defense and addresses other needs. (e.g. a second good RB, safety, kicker).by nantucketramfan - RamsFootballFans.com

In "The Beast", Brugler's bible, Verse quote "He's the only player I've met who matches my intensity" I've read where they are good friends and work out warriors at FSU. The front seven of our defense in two days just got a whole lot more violent, more athletic, more intense....by nantucketramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Rams NEED a DE/EDGE. This guy is ferocious and adds a dimension not on the roster. Note; Can rush the passer AND is great against the run.by nantucketramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Rams are aggressively attempting to move into the top ten of draft. Sorry if this is old news. Conjecture is for a left tackle.by nantucketramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Nice call. I could see them trading up for Odunze also. I don't think they will, but I think they covet him.by nantucketramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Trading down.... Rams take Chop Robinson OLB/EDGE in round one. Early round two: Bo Nix QBby nantucketramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Last year our DB's were horrible. Maybe worst in league statistically. I can't recall where I saw that, but it sure looked that way. They couldn't cover a chair. I think PFF had poor grades on all our DB's. If Williams helps our def backfield go from worst to "average" or so in the league, I'd be happy!by nantucketramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
The verdict is not in yet....may be one of top one's ever.... These four may become really good to great players.... Puka Kobie Young Avila And a few more good players may emerge ....core backups or special team guys Evans (punter) Hampton (showed flashes by season's end) Davis Allen (looked solid) Even Mr. Irrelevant Johnson flashed at times..don't discount this kid.by nantucketramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Isaiah Robertson. #58. All world linebacker. Dominant athlete. What year did they draft Bertelson (sp?) in round 2, and Lawrence McCutcheon in round 3? Memorable one two punch.by nantucketramfan - RamsFootballFans.com

Good point. JFM on the Jets is very good indeed.by nantucketramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Interesting ideas about the trade up's and trade down's.... If the Rams love an edge....then I don't see them trading down. (Note the IF, and LOVE). Snead has his bobby wagner rule! He traded down (or passed on, I can't recall) and lost Wagner years ago. He loved Wagner. He vowed never to break that rule again. My point is Snead loved a player and didn't grab him. He won't make that mistaby nantucketramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
DJ may be a good role guy.... My pick right now: CHOP ROBINSON for Rams in round one. But I'll change my mind, i'm sure, in the next month.by nantucketramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Do we draft him? This scenario is not impossible. I gotta say with 11 picks this year, I'd be temped to take either one if they fell to the Rams in round one. It might we worth taking some shots on high potential QB's now as Stafford has. ... another two years left, maybe.by nantucketramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
No. Don't trade up. MANY good WR's in round 1 on 2!by nantucketramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
The Rams will definitely consider drafting Chop Robinson in round one. The question is do they rate him higher than Latu and/or Kearse, if Latu has a clean bill of health? The draft pundits would rate Chop #4. Don't take that as a fact in terms of how the Rams and others rate Chop. He may be 1,2, 3, or 4 rated. He's a superior, explosive athlete.by nantucketramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Not the next -- but our second K. Williams (Teams need TWO good RB's!) Ray Davis, RB, Kentuckyby nantucketramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
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. Take him? 3. The two top CBs: Mitchell (CB) or Arnold (CB) fall to the Rams in round 1. Take one?by nantucketramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Just for fun debate: Legatte is a physical specimen and really good, but he is NOT a route runner at all. Thus, I don't see him on the Rams. Cooper will be long gone. He'll be off the board by earliesh round 2. Of course this is all just for fun. We have 1% of the information Snead & company have.by nantucketramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
My X-factor instead of Latu in the first round is Chop Robinson Edge Penn State: a superior athlete, explosive. Latu or Chop in round one. I'm happy. Davis at RB: He is a hard nosed tough RB; not a home run hitter, but will get you those 4-5-6 yards; compared to our Williams often. I think we need a quality RB (we need TWO good ones to share the load) and can't afford to wait to the fifthby nantucketramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
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. Pearsall, FL, WR (I think he'll be long gone, but maybe ....a stud who will run very precise routes, block, and RAC: all things McVayby nantucketramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Good question but I'm not forgetting Kobie T. He's a terrific player. Counting on him big time to ascend and get better. Loved his quote after some award "Back to Work". Great attitude. Ditto Byron Young. Very good rookie year. Gotta work hard and get better. I also like some of the other rookie DL we had last year as they started to flash at times by year's end, Hampton and Mrby nantucketramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
I've been saying for months here, WR Is a big need. A MUST. With McVay/Stafford the Rams win because of a dynamic offense. Can't afford to NOT have elite WR corp. Kupp is questionable (let's face it). And -- many quality WR's available in rounds 1 and 2 this year. Rams will take one for sure early. VERY deep draft with WR.by nantucketramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
