QuoteLMU93 Just my opinion. He has never been a big pass rusher (20 career sacks), though he can push the pocket. Of course a lot depends on how next week shakes out. But I just think Brockers is a better fit mainly at NT and maybe sliding over to DE situationally. I think that the plan is for Brockers to play the “other” DL position this season. Meaning that Snead will be picking the best possby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

Why Rams strongly preferred to face Falcons before London game Cameron DaSilva The Los Angeles Rams will be flying across the country a lot in 2019, traveling the second-most miles of any team in the NFL next season. It’s the result of having to play the NFC South and AFC North, as well as hosting a “home game” in London. One negative aspect of their schedule is having to fly back anby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

Quoteferragamo79 QuoteRams43 Kiser is a better run defender than Barron on first 2 downs. Really? How do you know that. He didn't start one snap on defense. Admittedly, Noteboom and Allen are somewhat unproven, although Allen Is probably an upgrade over Sully. Boom may not be a vet Saffold, but he’s no slouch. Again, you are just guessing. Both these players are unproven. Allenby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Not that the value won’t be there with several OL players, mind you. It’s just that there will likely be equal, if not greater value at NT, DE, or maybe Edge, depending on who falls. And the need seems far greater at those positions. Snead is on record as saying that good OL players in the middle rounds, too. Sooooo...by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Most Ram players are returning from a 13-3 team. 20 of 25, actually, counting both kickers and the long snapper. Weddle is an upgrade over Joyner. Kiser is a better run defender than Barron on first 2 downs. Matthews is an upgrade when either inside or outside when replacing Barron or Ebu. IMO anyway.

Quoteoldschoolramfan Hard to predict........Teams change sooooo much in FA. Look at the JETS.......Their roster is looking pretty darn good.

QuoteLMU93 I am not going to claim he is or is not a top 10 talent. But the PFF comments about him are a good example of why nitpicking prospects can cause teams to lose out on long term talent. Being raw and inconsistent should not be viewed as a negative. The desire to draft finished products is just a miss in my opinion.

Quoteoldschoolramfan I still think the Rams are ready for a trade up in RD 2............ They stay at #31 and take who's there..........Then, trade up to RD2 and get another player they like a lot. Just don’t see it happening, oldschool. A tradeup into even the mid-2nd would require all three of our 3rds (assuming we even got a 3rd in a tradedown from #31).

Outstanding post, Dead. Love your thought process and wouldn’t be at all surprised if you’re into the Rams mindset. I also wouldn’t be at all surprised if, in fact, Snead already has a conditional tradedown agreement in place. Possibly with an added backup or two, at that. If so, then Snead would have a fine handle on which players might be available at the new pick in the 2nd. And a decent prby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Quoteazramfan Totally agree, its Lawrence, Tillery, or Simmons. Tillery can run and rush the passer so moving Brockers to NT makes total sense. If all three are gone I think they trade back into 2nd and take best OL or CB available. They may still take Simmons if he lasts to their pick. They have no friggin OL depth and that has to be a priority too. What makes it worse is they have no cap room lby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteClassicalwit QuoteRockRam The Rams always take the long view. Here's the long view. Tillery is probably an instant starting 3-4 DE. Brockers made his living at NT and can bulk up 10-12 pounds pretty fast to play NT again. Brockers is entering the last year of his contract, then will be a UFA.

Michael Brockers is comfortable at DE but will move to NT if need be Cameron DaSilva Ndamukong Suh is almost certain to sign elsewhere this offseason with the Rams being very short spending money.

They definitely get paid, don’t they? To be fair, RW is a helluva QB. I’d rather he be my QB than Aaron Rodgers, and on multiple levels, at that. Yeah, I said that.
