We don't know what that all amounts to. Inside? They know they have Kiser and did not address ILB as a priority.

Outstanding post, je! Couple of things... Yeah, this draft looks like it will yield more rookie snaps and even a couple of possible new starters! Rapp is definitely gonna see snaps this year. Not as a starter (hopefully), but there will definitely be schemes and sets that get him on the field in multiple ways. He’s gonna make this D much more difficult for opposing QB’s, trust me.

QuoteRam_Ruler Fowler had to get used, Matthews has to get used, JFM plays like edge/end hybrid, and I still wanna see what we have in Okoronkwo. I think we can get by there. As far as ILB goes, I'm guessing Taylor Rapp will see time almost like the Barron role, except he can tackle and cover better. So maybe they put him in the nickel? I dunno, Ruler.

All due respect, but you kinda missed my point, azramfan. I have no criticism of this draft whatsoever. In fact, I stated that I loved it. My question(s) is whether we are fully set at Edge and ILB. A separate question entirely. At this point Obo, Ebu, or someone has to win me over.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotejemach The Rams need variation. Heck, I could see what the Rams were going to do by the end of the season. We can now put two RBs on the field at the same time. We can add to our limited formations. When Gurley was out of the game, we lost explosiveness big time. I see this as a solid pick that, if your a guy like McVay, is a need to provide the creative juices to flow. I dby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotespagsbacker I would not look at it as wanting him so much that they gave up two 3rds to get him. I simply think when Snead targets a guy, he will overpay in order to secure that guy. He did the same thing with the Husky DT, he overpaid to assure we got they guy he wanted. It is very shrewd to go for RB in the 3rd rd. There is no other position at that point (aside maybe TE) where you can finby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSunTzu_vs_Camus otherwise they woulda taken Rapp at #31. The Rams kew "somethin"...what ? I dunno. Now, I am NOT a conspiracy guy....I mean, at all, Alyo will tell you...not a conspiratorial bone in this broken body!! lol However, if the Rams really liked a player and thot he was worth the #31st pick...they woulda stayed and picked him there and been happy.

Quotespagsbacker People need to stop freaking out about Gurley's knee. This overreaction is out of control. He did not "disappear" in the Super Bowl. He had no blocking. Rams identified a player they wanted and can have a big impact for the team. This will add a new dimension to the offense we did not have. If Gulrey gets hurt, M Brown will step into that role, and Henderson's role willby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Don’t get me wrong. I loved this draft. LOVED it. I think they squeezed all they could out of those 7 picks that they originally started with in terms of value and position needs. But it was never possible to acquire everything that the Rams needed to be ready for another SB run, IMO. Unless the Rams are supremely confident in Obo (or some unknown other), I think they must be planning on anby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSunTzu_vs_Camus .......we could get some very good LBs, S, and more OL....I was stunned DT Willis went undrafted and went to Ravens who also got Mack, I believe. iirc I really wish we were MORE hyper-aggressive in UDFAs...it appears this year we're kinda doggin it and not gettin some of these guys in...it's like free draft picks!!!

QuoteSunTzu_vs_Camus I know it's crazy, but it just seems so weird that we trade down, trade down, trade down...gathering what 4-5 3rd rounders?!... then, we trade back up to draft a guy we coulda drafted if we stayed put and saved a pick in doin so. I was just frustrated with moving down then giving up so much draft capital to move back up....crazy!! Reporters are NOT asking that question aby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotezn QuoteRams43 Cory Littleton was a UDFA. So, you never know when you’re gonna get a gem. These are the significant players last year who were UDFAs (whether they signed with the Rams originally or not): Malcolm Brown (I count him even though he got hurt), Hekker, Littleton, McQuaide, Natson, and Robey-Coleman. That sounds like a candidate to be the second best list compared to THEby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteSpeed_Kills you just don't do what the Rams did if Gurley is healthy I will say this... the Rams have the makings of an absolutely beastly run game...

Just kidding. Kinda... Actually, the effort of this Gaines kid might just more than make up for the aging and coasting Suh that we saw during the regular season last year. I’m really feeling good about this pick, considering he was at the tail end of the 4th. And it will be interesting to see what our new coach Henderson can do with this promising young man.

QuoteNewMexicoRam I was looking at Gaines stats and write ups and was thinking I wish we could get that guy. Within minutes, the Rams pop up on the clock and here we go! Yes!

I’d like to see positions other than CB, S, OL, and of course RB today, frankly. DL, Edge, LB (inside or out), maybe a TE or QB that they like? Then there will be the annual UDFA scramble later.

I, too, am seeing backup status for Evans this year and the Rams will go from there. I’ll say this. I give Kromer a ton of credit for seeing an exciting future for Noteboom last year. Similarly, I suspect that Kromer’s fingerprints are all over the Evans decision this year.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteDavid Deacon I is tough not to be excited about the potential of adding this guy to the offense. 1. He had a few monster holes to run through and a good offensive line 2. He cuts at the right time and at full speed and never when sideways always forward 3. He breaks tackles right and left it looks like he is playing against terrible tacklers 4.

McVay said that DH had some “special skills” that would be very “useful” in his O. Been looking for such for 2 years previously. Know what? I’m gonna defer on this to McVay. He may be onto something with this Henderson kid.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

What drafting RB Darrell Henderson means for Todd Gurley Cameron DaSilva Less than a year ago, the Los Angeles Rams made Todd Gurley the highest-paid running back in the NFL. Coming off a season in which he won 2017 Offensive Player of the Year and was a first-team All-Pro selection, Gurley deservingly earned a deal paying him more than $14.3 million per year.

Rams' draft picks address future without ignoring present needs Cameron DaSilva The Los Angeles Rams entered the 2019 NFL draft with three picks in the top 100.

Not too bad through 3 rounds. My head can hit the pillow happily tonight. Hopefully, Snead can find a gem or two on Saturday plus the UDFA’s. We ain’t done yet. Lol.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Well, it IS a highlight video. And those opponents seemed overmatched while Henderson’s OL was opening big holes many times. However... Some things are undeniable. DH is slippery, hard to tackle, and FAST. Showed good hands, too. Looking forward to seeing him in preseason.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
