Okay... let's talk CBs.
Based upon last year's 53 man roster at the end of preseason, the Rams are likely to keep 6 guys. Here's how I break down the candidates:
Written in Stone: Cobie Durant
After a strong finish to his rookie season, Durant has emerged as the top CB on the team. Ready or not, he's the guy who will try to make us forget Jalen Ramsey.
Written in Ink: Derion Kendrick, Tre'Vius Hodges-Tomlinson
One could quibble between the stone vs. ink distinction here but, either way, these two are near locks, as I see it. Kendrick had some ups and downs as a rookie, but I think the Rams like his toughness and ball skills. THT (that's a lot easier than typing his name!) seems ideal for the primary slot position.
Written in Pencil: Ahkello Witherspoon, Robert Rochell
If Witherspoon is, and remains, healthy (he's had trouble in the past in this regard), he's probably an "ink" guy. Rochell, on the other hand, is probably in "last chance" territory. I wouldn't be shocked if he's a late preseason cut.
The Longshots: Shaun Jolly, Vincent Gray, Cameron McCutcheon, Richard LeCounte, Jordan Jones, Tyon Davis, Timarcus Davis
Apart from Jolly, these are guys that most have probably never heard of. Barring a veteran acquisition, though, one or two of them could be on the 53 man roster. Is there a diamond in the rough in this group?
