What the Rams are getting in rookie RB Zach Evans Skyler Carlin Sean McVay and Les Snead have had a trend of taking running backs during the NFL draft, and this year was no different. After passing on taking a running back for the first five rounds, the Los Angeles Rams traded up to select Zach Evans out of Ole Miss with the 215th overall pick in the sixth round.

This LA Rams roster has the making of a very good team, someday Bret Stuter Restocking an NFL roster has a bit of science to it, a bit of art to it, and a lot of luck to it. As such, the challenge of the matter is that regardless of the ocean of data available from the Rams data analytics team, affectionately known as the Nerd's Nest, it's still pretty much a shot in the dark.

Rams WR Van Jefferson feels he's 'getting back to myself' after injury-shortened 2022 season Published: May 07, 2023 at 02:08 PM Injuries at key positions resulted in the Rams finishing the 2022 season with one of the worst records in the league, just one year removed from when Los Angeles took home a Lombardi trophy.

Rams have jettisoned some players and salaries, but they just finished a helluva draft and udfa explosion. They’ve hired 11 new asst coaches, most of them upgrades ranging from slight to major upgrades. That’s huge, right there. And all returning players are now reportedly healthy. Also huge. Limited FA vets will be signed to patch any remaining cracks as needed. Rams possess best QBby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Based on best available information at this time, this prediction seems pretty solid to me. However… These are 40 very promising rookies, so be prepared to be pleasantly surprised by a few of them.

In no particular order: Ron Gould RB coach. I’m projecting here but I see him as a steady, calming, yet competent coach that will maximize production from that room. Just perfect for these young RB’s (including Evans) as McVay places greater emphasis on running game. Ryan Wendell OL coach. Might be a ‘steal’ hire.

Here’s Oldnotdead… Improving the offense came down to primarily improving the OL. Avila and McClendon will provide them with at least one immediate starter in Avila and probably depth at OT/OG in McClendon. Improved OL will keep Stafford upright and time to make his passes, and it should open up the run attack as well. Defensively, the emphasis was on the front 7, providing them with defensby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Some of the best detailed stuff on udfa’s that I’ve seen. Here’s Memento… I am very interested in some of the undrafted free agents, namely Braxton Burmeister, The Davises at corner (Timarcus and Tyon), Tiyon Evans at running back, and two of the inside linebackers (Kelechi Onyalebechi and DeAndre Square).

This Davis Allen is impressing the heck out of me. Plus he can block! Higbee can’t do this kind of stuff when he’s 100% healthy. Here’s hoping this Allen kid has a short runway in the NFL to see the field. Stafford could make him look like a superstar.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
I’ve seen favorable comments from pundits and draft gurus on 2 boards on many of these kids. RB WR ILB CB S These positions alone have multiple candidates that seem to have a lot of potential.

It takes time for OLinemen to get used to the game, new teammates, new coaches, new plays. Like most everybody else I'm very happy they got some OLinemen.

Avila bolstered our LG or OC situation Big Time. Then, after picking McClendon, Rams really bolstered RG and RT positions. This OL looks to have the makings of a terrific unit and who knows how much that will help Stafford, Akers, and every receiver on this team. This O could be a real load this season. Needless to say, Rams (and perhaps coach Wendell) put real focus on upgrading this OLby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

Rams' 2023 draft class ranked as 12th-best in the NFL Cameron DaSilva On paper, the Rams’ 2023 draft class looks pretty good. They bolstered the offensive line, added a trio of pass rushers, as well as three playmakers on offense. There’s still a lot to sort out on their roster before the season begins but at least the depth improved considerably thanks to their 14 drafted rookies.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Without spending another penny, mind you. So, where’s the motivation to sign this vet? If they’re gonna sign an outside vet, I’m thinking NT would be much higher on the list.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRam_Ruler I think a hall of Fame draft could mean that you had one of the greatest draft classes of all time. Let's say 6 if the 14 picks become legit long term starters. That would make this one of the best draft classes ever. They don't need to be Hall of Fame players. Just need to be a ridiculous riches of impact players.
