Pretty good to have such a distribution. Speaks to the improvement of the roster.

But, if there were actual money on this poll... I suggest the distribution would tighten considerably.

I was thinking that exact same thing, and even if a few of these were guys just joking around it's clear the potential on the roster right now is as good as anything since 99-01 or so. I'm not saying its as loaded as then because clearly it isn't, but it's more so than at any other point since then. At least I see it that way.

I'm starting to wonder if the windows in SEA and SF will start to close as the Rams really begins to open in earnest.

Agree.

It appears we are ~2yrs behind them on the rebuilding curve. That gap could close considerably this year and hopefully we sustain our trajectory with all these young players while they enter a period of trying to retain their roster (they start losing key players).

And they could also end up with cap issues that the Rams may not have. I think you're right about the two years by the way, and that is a function of drafting, not exclusively but an awful damn lot of it I'd say.

As I wrote into a past topic, I trust in T.j.McDonald ( I'am with Max).Anyway Barret Jones is our future and I didn't vote for him just becouse he played a few snaps and I'am afraid he could be stopped from physical problems (is he a little propensity to injuries or it was only a coaching staff decision, to cure him with care and don't let him to play?)

I'll go with someone not mentioned yet:

Jenoris Jenkins!!!!

Had a good rookie season but fell off sophomore year due to playing 10 yards off due to Walton sucking. With Williams here I see a lot more press coverage and playing him to his strengths. I say he has 5+ int's, 2 int's returned for td's, and a lot of pbu's.
