:wabbit:My #1 Defensive UFA Target!
LJ is sure to draw some serious FA offers once FA-cy begins don't be surprised if over 30 NFL teams seek his services with wheel-barrels full of $$$.
I have already deleted Trumaine Johnson from my future Ram plans when the season concludes.
If lets say Demoff & Snead are able to secure the future services of three UFA Ram DB's....#1. Our most versatile DB Lamarcus Joyner who plays the Nickle, both safety posts & outside corner. #2- Nickell Robey-Coleman who can play outside corner & the Nickle plus deep safety Cody Davis.
IF that were to happen & Tru departs for the Raiders, 49ers or the Steelers or Browns....the Rams would then have 3 fully capable corners types (though small) beginning with Webster who has 5 seasons under his belt, NR-C who is a 5 yr vet & safety Cody Davis who is a 5 yr vet that works well in the Wade scheme ....to go with youngster 3rd round 2017 selection JJ the 3rd for a decent standard core Five player secondary.
Rams can if they desire easy enough resign corners Troy Hill
, & they already have corners Peterson & Hatfield along with safeties Countess & Christian who been active this season to assist Wade "D" too. So if you added in the draft a few bigger taller corners utilizing 2 of the 3 {3rd 4th 5th or our three 6th rd selections}.... to go with what we have already have it would put Wade in good not great situation .
Signing 3 Ram DB's LJ, Cody & NR-C would cost in 2018 a bit over what it cost for just Trumaine Johnson cost us this 2017 season. Thus saving that First rounder to secure the BPA for a starter @ Edge Rusher or run stuffing, space eating Nose Tackle or future starting LT. Fact is you can usually get a quick return in you investments in DB in the starting element.
