Yeah, that was a poor way to begin things, but if I had to choose one of our draftees this early as most disappointing, it would likely be Nick Hampton.
I'm sure hoping Ochaun Mathis proves himself to be among the upper echelon of our later round picks once he's off IR.
I honestly didn’t think Hampton was on the team anymore. But with the snap counts he got some ST’s snaps.

Guy is a black hole, nothing out of him huh?

Honestly, I'd put him at inside linebacker next to Jones. Rozeboom, Reeder and Hummel aren't it, and I'd rather go with youth there. Use him like you did with Reeder (blitzing on sub-packages), and I bet he does better than outside linebacker where he's simply too small.

Kinda hard to argue with you on replacing Reeder/Rozebloom! Lol

I dread watching them on TV every time I see them, but fortunate they aren’t Craig Dull. I simply would turn off some of those games with him on the field.

If that experiment were to work, then it could prove another epic maneuver for our coaching staff. :beer2:

Durant isn't a SCB, he's a boundary CB. Shelley is a bonafide SCB so where is he? Witherspoon has been playing lights out. Kendrick has been good as well. Lake is better than Fuller that much is clear. Absolutely this team has their starting safeties going into the future with Lake and Yeast.

Williams has played well there is no doubt. But when you break down his runs, the difference is the OL. Avila draws all the praise rightly so, but Shelton is showing why he's starting. He's simply better on the second level than Allen. He's the unsung hero of this OL. They will have to pay him to keep him. His 2024 year voids as a starter. That is where the cap savings from Havenstein would come into play. If he keeps performing as he is, the Rams will need to pay him $9-$12M/yr.

If I'm McVay if Jackson returns as it sounds like, I rest Noteboom as their swing. Let him heal up. Dotson looked very good at RG. Noteboom's contributions will be as a reliable swing who can play inside and outside. Next year he's their option at RT. Havenstein will be 33 and his cap jumps to $14.7M. They can save $6.5M and they will need that money for Shelton and Dotson as well.
