... and it seems the Rams are myopically focused on the next three years (likely Stafford's last), then Latu makes the most sense. He's pro ready, he played college right in their backyard, his first and last name begin with "LA" and his neck issues likely won't be an issue in the near term.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
Will keep this list (and Alyos') close by on draft day. Thanks for sharing.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteBerendsenRam While he is here, they are in the present. GO RAMS! Totally agree. They're not thinking of a distant future when they have a SB window open right now, and they will use premium picks on players that will improve the team during that SB window.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
Yeah, other than the few at the very top of the list, the rest are based on projection, potential -- not actual accomplishments or proven success.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotestlramz Not on your list but I liked Dick Stockton for the way he said "the RAMS" Yes! So did I. The "Rayms"by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteJason Kelce "We double-teamed him and triple-teamed him every single game, all right?” Kelce said. “He is the only defensive tackle we have ever gone up against where the entire game plan is situated on not having him ruin the game. The only one. I don’t care if it was a five-down front. I don’t care if there’s a blitz happening over there. We are double-teaming Aaron Donald. that’s theby JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteThe Professor The Falcons will not lose a #1 prior to this draft. If they lose a #1 (I doubt it), they will lose it in 2025. The NFL has to investigate and then determine a punishment. They will not do this with so little time left in this draft. Gotcha. That's too bad. :)by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRamsDynasty I really didn't think Chase was a good fit in a post AD lockerroom but I find it interesting that a Saints team that is perpetually in cap hell for kicking the can down the road would sign him to a 1 year fully guaranteed deal. To what end? Why are they delaying taking their medicine as if they feel their championship window is still open? The Aints have been linked to Edge inby JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
Lots of mocks project Atlanta taking Dallas Turner at #8. If the Falcons lose that pick, the odds of Verse and Latu falling to 19 probably increase.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
Wish I could squeeze Kevin Greene in there somewhere.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteOzRam Just to change the story from AD , the LA Rams offensive line shaping up as: LT A.Jackson....6-7, 335 lbs LG J.Jackson...6-4, 311 lbs C S.Vila............6-3, 332 lbs RG K.Dotson....6-4, 321 lbs RT R Hav..........6-8, 330 lbs That's some heft..... I don't think the Rams have ever had such an Oline size that I can remember. And I love it!!! Hopefully they play up to itby JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
I agree. I think he feels he has slipped a little and doesn't want to keep playing if he's not The Man. And he'd rather go out at least near the top, then keep playing at a declining, albeit very strong, level. I think he sensed his best days were behind him and he did not want to suit up if he is not perceived as the same dominating force.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
I know a lot of people think he's annoying, but in this vid, he puts the Rams and the Lions at the top of the NFC hierarchy after the first round of free agency.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
Just read Kendricks backed out of deal with 49ers and signed with Cowboys. Don't know reason yet.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
Quoteoldschoolramfan The Bears are a mess!!!! They really are. Poor Caleb -- Chicago is where QBs go to die. Have the Bears ever had a really good QB? McMahon was overrated -- carried by an all-time defense and was more known for head butting offensive linemen than passing the ball. Jay Cutler was about as good as I can remember in my lifetime, and he wasn't much better than average.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
The fact that there were reports that they were not going to make an offer to Hoecht, and then tendered him the moment a bunch of high profile edge defenders were signed elsewhere makes wonder if part of that plan fell through. Now it seems like they have to go edge at #19, and I hope Latu makes it to their pick. Seems like a perfect match.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
... and I recall at the time many of the Giants players giving Tiki a hard time about becoming timid after that hit.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
Last time the offense was truly elite, it had an elite Oline. Glad McVay noticed that too. :) Talk about a reversal of philosophy and priority when it comes to the interior.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
Quoteden-the-coach Never a fan of Peyton and I cringed when he was listed as a possible replacement of McVay. I hope he keeps losing and in that division continues to get his ask kicked. I realize he most likely will start winning, but I am truly hoping for an epic fail for him in Colorado Mountain High. Yeah, with the Chiefs and now Harbaugh in that division, it could be a while before they'by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSeattleRam Broncos are a dumpster fire. Has to go down as the worst trade in history? Personally, I'd say the Trey Lance trade was the worst in NFL history, at least in terms of draft value traded away. They used 3 #1s on him, he hardly played at all and when he did, he was terrible. They gave up on in him almost immediately, giving him away for a day three pick. The reason it's not gettiby JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteStafford9 Larry Allen, Nate Newton, Mark Steponowski, Kevin Gogan and Erik Williams They made Emmit Smith and Aikman HOF Hell yes draft Jackson Powers and let Kyrene William and Stafford continue their dominance Wasn't the LT of that group Mark Tuinei?by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotesix2stack We could probably get Brian Thomas Jr. WR LSU. He's 6'3" 209 lbs and runs a 4.34 forty. We need a WR that can knock the top off of a defense. Same. What little I know of Odunze is from highlights, but I don't see anything special about him. I also don't like that he seems to be a body catcher, rather than a hands guy.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
Yeah, I watched the entire game last night. Fantastic game. Mahomes is just amazing. Kudos to Spags, as well. Now I'll gleefully take in all the coverage and go visit a few Niner msg boards. :thumbsupby JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
You just described me. I even turned the game off at the half, thinking the Niners were going to run away with it. Should've known better with Mahomes on the other side. But yeah, can't get enough of the coverage today.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
He'd retire before settling for anything less than top dog. And it's hard to blame him.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
