While I admit these are cursory ideas with no “insider” sources, there are logical reasons I believe the following projections are likely.
The Rams Left Tackle of the future is...Rob Havenstein. Both tackles drafted in 19 are too limited athletically for LT but can develop nicely on the right side. Like many, I see Noteboom as the permanent replacement for Saffold and stays at LG who can swing elsewhere if injuries dictate.
Taylor Rapp is Barron’s replacement, not Weddle’s. He will be in several packages this year in a similar role depending on the offense Wade faces.
Henderson should become the primary kick returner. I haven’t seen any discussions on this, but I prefer him to Jo Jo in ball security and sturdiness.
While not a projection, I’m wondering out loud if moving Ekuban inside and Littleton outside has merit. Does anyone else think Samson is stouter and Cory more athletic and therefore slightly miscast?
While many see Long as Talib’s replacement, I just can’t forget how long Wade tried to make Peters a press corner with disastrous results. I’ve seen some call long a slot guy but that sounds silly w NRC on board. While he may or may not be Peter’s replacement, I believe his packages this year will be in that role.
What think ye mates?
