QuoteLMU93 I cannot believe they are not only paying through the nose to acquire a guy like Clark after the Kareem Hunt fiasco but paying him that much. Unbelievable... Yup, 93. Seems like a heavy price tag for the Chiefs. From the Seahawks pov? The picks from the Chiefs are gonna be late ones. Sooooo...

Couldn’t happen to a nicer team.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Where to start? Here’s my stream of consciousness effort... Will Snead pick at 31 or will he trade down? I’m thinking he definitely trades down if he can find a partner picking high in the 2nd. Probably 60% likely to find a willing partner? Trading up seems extremely unlikely this year, but with Snead you never know for sure. Philosophical question: Will Snead’s draft be focused on ‘19 or mby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Here’s AvengerRam... 20 RANDOM PRE-DRAFT THOUGHTS POST 1. I'm a big draft fan. To me, its the oasis in the desert of the offseason. 2. Its nice, after two years without a first round pick, to have the possibility of learning the name of a new Ram on Thursday... 3. ...barring a trade into Friday, which would not shock me in the least. 4.

2019 NFL Draft to shape the future of the Los Angeles Rams’ offensive line Could the Rams pick an offensive lineman early? By Sosa Kremenjas Apr 23, 2019, 8:07am CDT Options. Plenty of options. Options seem to be the theme of the Los Angeles Rams’ offensive line moving forward. As we sit today, the projected starters across the offensive line goes: LT Andrew Whitworth LG Joby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

Here’s my thinking... The worst case scenario, IMO, is that Snead can’t do a modest tradedown and will be forced to take the 25th best non-QB or non-WR football player in this draft. And that’s assuming that not one single team ahead of us makes any eval mistakes. An unlikely event, indeed. Then there’s the fact that the Rams are not desperate for any given player or position. They can lby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

Quotezn QuoteRams43 Here’s a slightly different possible perspective regarding the trade decision. Snead and McVay were looking for bold moves to quickly turbocharge an existing 11-5 team into SB status. Peters seemed like a potential quantum leap at one CB side for an acceptable price. At the time I was a big fan of the trade. Kinda still like it, tbh. As to Peters struggles? Some is certaby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

Quotejemach He would fit two descriptions....BPA and Need. I see him as an immediate starter. While some have stated that we may have the luxury of our draft picks not playing in 2019, I think we need to find at least two guys starting by end of the season. So many rumors going around...Montez Sweat...if he dropped into the mid 20's, I'd move up to get him. He has some yellow flags but I thby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
I’m serious. Keep their 1st or trade down? Again, I don’t care. OL, DL, Edge, CB, or S? I’ll be happy with any, tbh. How can I say these things that would have been unthinkable as recently as 2016? Simple. Because I have a deep and abiding faith that the Snead/McVay duo will make great decisions and follow those up with exceptional player development aided in no small part by superb teamby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteDavid Deacon 43 are you thinking that other teams have done their homework and taken him off their boards and if he falls to us we hit the jackpot? I love the size, speed and strength and even the production of Sweat but if he falls to us perhaps the heart issue is more concerning to teams than we think and he would be a huge risk for us to take.

As to who, where, or when? I haven’t a clue.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Maybe we might be overthinking this? I mean, Rams have a loaded roster with few holes. Perhaps they’re planning on getting a BPA/starter with their first pick, pure and simple? And picking bpa’s thereafter with an eye for immediate depth this year and potential starters in their 2nd year? IOW, our picks this year will not really be a reflection on current projected starters so much, butby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

Here’s pmil66... Had to go back and look at some Ram 1st round drafting history since Snead came aboard. The only 2 years a 1st rounder was not traded or traded for was 2014, pick 13 was some dude name Aaron Donald. 2015 pick 10 was not traded or traded for and the pick was another dude named Todd Gurley. Now of course picking at 31 will be challenge, but considering the history of stayingby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

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.

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.
