Option #1 or #4 for me please. Only a few guys I'd be happy with for a trade up: Samuel Jr or JOK. Thats probably it. Maybe Barmore if it was below pick 45 or so.

The pick has to be Landon Dickerson if the medical report is passable, right? I mean - we have to trust our doctor on it - but it feels like a pretty good roll of the dice.
I honestly don't think so. He's had, what, 4 major injuries? 2 of which were complete ACL tears and he's still recovering from the latest. I don't think we can afford to gamble with our few picks on a guy that might not be ready for the season and might really have a short career. In 3rd, sure. In 2nd, I'd be passing.

You keep posting this ?? I’ll stay in tune with Landon Dickerson with a trade back. Well worth the risk at say
89 or 169 ? How ever it happens. I know at 57 a guy like Quinn might be worth it & would still be worth drafting him late.I am not a big draft a O’lineman fan,but I do think to keep building the foundation is a key.Who knows though,I’m all for Carberry.
Raheem Morris getting a couple of his guys are more important.

—Nico Collins is a guy a like without even watching film. Going off his impact & remembering what a good WR he is with speed & size.I don’t know his draft value though,so trading back to where it is would be something I’d be All-4

What's your guys thoughts on Nick Bolton? I know we are not likely to take an ILB with an early pick, but, I ran a mock on PFF and he appeared to be the best guy on the board that we could use. Was between Bolton, Perkins, Cox IMO.

He could be the dominant MLB we have lacked for years, instinctual and strong as hell. He appears to not be the best in coverage, but appears to be good to great in all other aspects.

I think he's a fit. Needs to improve in the pass game but our scheme is pretty easy on that side of things with a lot of drops. I like the idea of him putting some NFC West RBs on their asses.

Also think the Rams will look hard at the souped up safety types though. Suspect Surratt is high on their board he's a brainy type they like.

I think more than ever we need the sideline to sideline type linebacker. We are in a division of mobile QBs and offenses that are more likely to try to outrun you than run over you. I value coverage and change of direction over all else.

Agreed. Zona has a blisteringly fast mobile QB. Seattle has Wilson. SF now has Lance who is a major threat on the ground.

Good way to combat that is replace Brock at 5T, add an ILB with range, and if you take a corner get one who is at least a willing run stopper in the slot. That run stopping ability is a priority in the slot.

Yes - all corners have to tackle in this division. We just need to be crazy athletic on defense - which is the direction we have been going anyway. Makes the Floyd signing look better in that lens.

Only one team in the NFL has traded its original draft picks more than the Los Angeles Rams since 2016: the Patriots. That’s evidence of just how often Les Snead likes to trade the Rams’ picks, whether it’s to go up and get a player they covet or to move back when the board doesn’t fall their way.

Heading into Day 2 of the draft, there are several options for the Rams when it comes to trading both up and down the board. Might they jump 10-15 spots for a player they viewed as a first-round prospect? Or could they trade back from No. 57 to the third round in an attempt to add picks?

Here are seven possible scenarios using the Rich Hill trade value chart to gauge the point total of each pick.

1​

Trade up to No. 45​

Rams trade: Nos. 57 and 103 (133 points)
Jaguars trade: No. 45 (131 points)

If a player such as Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, Teven Jenkins, Azeez Ojulari or even Asante Samuel Jr. were to fall past the first 10 picks of the second round, the Rams should consider moving up. Owusu-Koramoah would be an especially great pick for Los Angeles, giving Raheem Morris a versatile, rangy defender to deploy either at inside linebacker, safety, blitzing off the edge or matching up with tight ends.
Giving up a third-rounder might be tough for the Rams to do, but the payoff would be huge if they could land Owusu-Koramoah, a talented tackle like Jenkins or one of the top pass rushers in Ojulari.

2​

Trade up to No. 51​

Rams trade: Nos. 57 and 141 (112 points)
Washington trades: No. 51 (112 points)

It’s unlikely the aforementioned players would be available at this point, but it still makes for a good trade-up spot. Washington would like to add mid-round picks and for the Rams, they could go up for a player such as Dillon Radunz, Creed Humphrey, Samuel Cosmi or Joseph Ossai.
It may not be worth it for Los Angeles to give up its fourth-rounder, widening the gap from its third-rounder (103) to its sixth (209), but it should still be in consideration if the right player is there.

3​

Trade down to No. 64​

Rams trade: Nos. 57 (96 points)
Buccaneers trade: Nos. 64 and 137 (97 points)

Trading down is a much more likely scenario for the Rams, who only have six picks to work with. The Buccaneers don’t have any pressing needs and could be in a position to trade up for a player they covet at the end of the second round. The Rams pick up another fourth-rounder, giving them an extra top-150 pick to use on a linebacker, receiver or defensive lineman later on in the draft.

4​

Trade down to No. 75​

Rams trade: No. 57 (96 points)
Cowboys trade: Nos. 75 and 99 (100 points)

This would be a steeper move back, sliding 18 spots. But in doing so, the Rams would net an additional top-100 pick at No. 99. They would then have picks at 75, 88, 99 and 103. With those selections, the Rams could do some serious damage on the second night of the draft. The Cowboys traded down in Round 1 and picked up No. 84 in the process, so they could be looking to trade back up for a player in the second round.

5​

Trade down to No. 85​

Rams trade: No. 57 (96 points)
Titans trade: Nos. 85, 100 and 166 (95 points)

A 28-pick trade back? Fans would probably be disappointed, putting the Rams’ first pick at No. 85, but it would also give them even more ammo in the third through fifth rounds. Los Angeles doesn’t currently have a fifth-round pick, so there’s a gap from No. 141 to 209. The 166th pick could bridge that gap and help the Rams draft a player they like in the middle of Day 3.

6​

Trade down from No. 88 to 106​

Rams trade: No. 88 (47 points)
Jaguars trade: Nos. 106 and 145 (48 points)

What if the Rams keep No. 57 and instead trade back from pick 88? Les Snead said the team expects to get calls about its third-rounders, so here’s one scenario to fit that idea. The Jaguars would be moving up 18 spots to secure a player in Round 3 before the end of Day 2, rather than having to wait until the first pick on Saturday.

7​

Trade down from No. 103 to 118​

Rams trade: No. 103 (37 points)
Chargers trade: Nos. 118 and 159 (36 points)

Trading down from No. 103 is also a possibility if a team wants to make one of the final picks on Friday night. The Chargers have a strong roster already and might see a player they really want slip to the end of the third round. This is another scenario where the Rams could add a fifth-round pick that they currently lack without moving back too far from Round 3 to 4.
I’d only be excited by trade #3 with the Bucs.

Reminds me of another injured Alabama lineman we drafted. Barret Jones. Not saying that happens with Dickerson. Just cant get the similarity out of my head

The more tape I watch of Rondale Moore (particularly his injury free freshman season), the more I think McVay is probably salivating about his prospects in this offense. My question is, given his size, why is he not a RB? He's built like a RB and certainly runs like one after the catch. All that said, he could be very dangerous on this offense. When he was healthy, he looked like the most dynamic player in college (or amongst them at minimum).
