If we sign Long and pick up some legitimate weapons on O, we are close to be contenders once again...

Fisher is smart and should make every pick in the draft worth it.

I think when we are ready we sort of burst onto the scene.

I also think losing the SB will hurt San Fran they come in 3rd in the division this year with us and the Seahogs battling for the div crown.

AZ fans have to be bummed, Boldin goes to Balt. wins a ring THEN goes to San Fran,salt in the wound.

I agree - i think we're going to burst onto the scene next season, especially the fantasy radar..

I expect Givens and Cook to show up first with quick and pead gradually coming along...

I have been feeling for a very long while now that once Sam the Ram has an OL, some weapons, and an offensive scheme that he 'owns,' he will suddenly & dramatically begin to emerge as an elite QB.

We still have a gap to close (on paper) with the 49'ers.

But; I'm not worried about them. I focus on us.

What I like about us; we are building something. Will we win the division in 2013? I dunno. But we will be competitive and we are on our way to being a competitive team year in year out.

I posted this on that OTHER board.

"In my opinion, the Rams will upgrade the LG position early.

TE is absolutely not needed anymore.

If the want to roll with Quick and Givens then we may see them pick up an "X Factor" early (Austin, Woods)

The part that gets interesting is that you would have Kendrick's, who can line up as a TE, or fullback, Cook, who can line up as a TE, slot, and probably even out wide, Pead, who can be a running back that doubles as a receiver, and Austin (my hope), who can line up anywhere.


Mismatches all over the field."


Ithink the Rams are closer than most people think. They may be this years "surprise team"

Let's make sure we actually get Austin before we start drawing up play diagrams including him. :lol: There's talk the Steelers may want him to replace Mike Wallace. Pittsburgh drafts #17 so we would have to snare him at #16 to block that. Who knows if somebody (like Frisco with all those picks) doesn't trade up to steal him from under our noses?

If he's not there, we simply grab another wideout, preferably someone who can execute route running with high competence and can catch more than a cold.

Holes to fill: Safety, OLB, WR, RB, OT, and maybe need some shoring up at OG and DT. Sure would be nice to get a Safety and OT in FA, then draft WR, S, RB, and OLB with 1st four picks. Close then? Maybe arrived!!!!

I am a little bummed that we may have lost Long. Is it gone or can we still make a deal with him?

I worry we might have lost him to Miami.

But, patience is needed in these stages of FA.

It appears he may have used the Rams to pad his value. Time will tell
