Yes, choosing a franchise QB can be risky. So what’s new? But it’s also true that the planets have lined up nicely for drafting a QB early in this particular draft. I say that Rams have gotta go for it next offseason because the chances for success will seldom be better for Rams in the foreseeable future, especially if they’re back to drafting in the twenties.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
For example, drafting a QB that they like early (assuming that Wentz is unable to wow them) and then either drafting a LOT and C, OR signing one or both in FA with all of that cap surplus that they now have seem very doable to me. And they would still have lots of draft and cap assets for plenty of other needs. Rams will be well positioned to upgrade this roster at many positions next offseby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Quoteden-the-coach Remember when comparing both Goff & Wentz the only true check mark that Goff had over him besides age was durability. Wentz was hurt in college and that has continued at this level. That is the only concern I have with him, but It is a concern. I have concerns about Wentz’s coachability. He has had a tendency to go off script during games and it generally hasn’t workedby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

Rams O is sputtering for many other reasons beyond Kupp and Puka. I addressed this in another thread.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
This struggling Rams O is a multifaceted problem and all facets need to be addressed. It goes far beyond Kupp and Puka, both of whom have proven themselves on the field beyond any doubt. McVay’s play calling. Heck, maybe McVay should let another call the plays? Stafford’s inaccuracy and decision making. OL blocking. Not sticking to running game and KW’s health issues.

I mean, game changer type talents. Now, IF Wentz convinces the Rams that he could be their franchise QB for next 5 years… And IF Rams either have a top 6 pick or can trade up to get one… THEN Rams can come away from this draft in pretty danged good shape, indeed. Example, both their future QB and LOT fixed completely. And they will still have the rest of a loaded draft preceded by a sby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Which is certainly to his credit. And he is considered a particularly smart QB, meaning that he should pick up this playbook rather quickly. And is a monumental upgrade over Rypien and for peanuts salary-wise. Who knows? He just might earn the right to one day inherit Stafford’s job when Matthew finally hangs ‘em up. If Wentz somehow really impresses, it could certainly simplify the Rby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

Quoteden-the-coach This is the year to do it, there will be LT available in the 2nd round, but it is not easy to find a QB and next year, there is a major drop off.

QuoteLMU93 What I like is the Rams finally have a 1st round pick again AND have opportunity/needs to address all 4 'premium' positions- QB- LT, Edge and CB. They have, as of today, the 7th most draft capital among the 32 teams. Plenty of ammo to work with. Personally I think they will end up picking between 11th and 14th overall.

LA Rams make a curious move at OLB, but was it the right move? The way that the LA Rams prioritized who to keep and who to cut to set up the team's initial 53-man active roster was a bit puzzling. While the Rams pass rush did not exactly set a high bar through the 2023 preseason, the Rams opted to cut every player who recorded a quarterback sack in the preseason.

Meaning, if Wentz convinces Rams that he can be their quality franchise QB after Stafford’s inevitable retirement soon, then Rams can scratch QB off their 1st round list this offseason and then focus on an elite type LOT, Edge, CB, or maybe even WR that falls into their lap.

Here’s Merlin… I have a lot of questions on the defensive side of the ball. And I think that side requires investment badly so seeing who the keepers are going to be will be crucial.
