Did this simulator give you a 3rd round pick (#84) for dropping one spot in Round 1?

Ya, Pittsburg. That pops about 1/2 the time when I do that sim. I just reject it, not realistic.

Which DT prospects look great to you? I agree that after Booker, who is projected as a 3rd, the edge talent drys up. I see the same for DT. After the 3rd, it's slim pickings. I actually like the edge class depth slightly better than the DT class.

I agree that we cannot wait past the 3rd.

I have read good reports on McKinnley Jackson who would improve our rotation, compete to play NT and has shown some juice pass rushing. He’s among a few big and talented DTs which including under performing players like those at LSU who will go later and more solid prospects such as Kris Jenkins who will be taken earlier

Dude, you live in Florida, bridges everywhere. I love going across bridges. Well, except for that one in Louisiana that feels like about 40 miles long and it's pretty old, seems like narrow lanes. It's actually only 11 miles long. I went across it in a damn deluge.

New season, new thread.

Let’s take this over to the 2024 dodgers thread.

I believe the Rams will draft an Edge, or possibly a road paving offensive lineman or a stout defensive lineman.

I don't think there will be adequate value in drafting a mid to late 1st round QB, plus we already have Stafford who's playing at a high level, possibly the best in the NFC, plus Jimmy G and Bennett. (I was ok with Jimmy G signed for minimum wage).

Looking at the FAs we signed, it looks like the Rams are in "win it all this season" mode. But it also looks like the Rams are being more cautious to avoid having salary cap hell in the near future.

You knows KOOL Steve is that Jimmy G is a Ram & he actually might be BETTER than Brock Purdy if you can keep The Pocket Clean.

Getting Stetson back completes The 2023 RAMS DRAFT that could be The Best Ever NFL Draft in Modern Times. Maybe actually EVER NO MATTER when you think about EVERY RAM DRAFTED in 2023 made The RAMS ROSTER of a Playoff Team & was (THE) one of The MOST PLAYERS DRAFTED !!

I mean WTF RAM FANS - I mean Les Snead got COVID in 2020 & had to HORRIBLE DRAFT when you look at all 4 years.They were able to help win a Super Bowl though which was awesome though.

I feel a surprise coming,but only in The Fact The Rams have a couple players circled.I have mine & can only hope. Tyler Johnson the 9er Beater just resigned & Robinson is back.

IMO Rob Gould has had time to watch film plus he knows & tried to recruit a few of these kids(young men) coming out.I think with this Offensive Line The Rams have would really dominate with an extra STUD RB !! I see 1 being drafted at least by The Rams by the 3rd(4th Rd).
I do not see an Offensive Lineman unless Alaric Jackson isn’t resigned or The Value is too good to pass up. I do like how veteran this group is & think The Development of there young players will continue.Maybe developing another Alaric Jackson type that gets overlooked ?

—Les Snead already addressed his thoughts & the way I interpret it is like 2022.The Rams wanted CKC plus the year before Trent Williams.
The thing was The Rams couldn’t afford it(them) They Traded for VON MILLER & picked up OBJ as a FA mid season.The got a comp pick for Baker Mayfield.Signed Carson Wentz.
My point is it’s like The MLB come trade dead line & teams are unloading players that can’t keep & need to move on from plus develop young players for following seasons.

I can't believe that 64 yard FG by Bates. That ball had some serious power behind it. And it was in a crucial moment.

Of course, the Lions have already contacted him.

I wonder what a full offseason of NFL strength and nutrition, plus experience will do for him. Seems to be a football player and might be able to contribute in a rotational role.

I have greatly enjoyed reading and watching (national and local media, and this Forum) comments, analysis and opinions about Michael Penix this season and off-season. Figure it will continue to be entertaining for the next four weeks until the Draft.

It's fun to discuss, analyze and debate the talent and potential of future NFL QBs, and one with the history of Penix (on-field play and injuries) is so interesting because the opinions are ALL-OVER-THE-PLACE.

Watching where Penix gets drafted, and how he develops should be fun.

Personally, and I posted this during the college season, I love the way he throws the ball ... from his release, to arm strength and especially, his accuracy. From what I can gleam (always difficult to tell) there's intelligence, maturity, leadership and the all-important motivation to succeed.

The injury history is a major concern.

I think Michael Penix gets drafted in Round One; and, in a good situation (coaching, talent around him and some patience) he will be a quality NFL starting-QB. However, I don't want him for the Rams simply because I would like the 19th pick to be used in a way to help the 2024 Los Angeles Rams.

I like Penix! ... I am a little uncomfortable typing that. And, a little disappointed in myself for feeling that way.

At least you didn't use the word "crave."

But what team truly has room for a 1st rounder for a developmental QB? I would imagine most if not all team's fans would say the same thing...

The Ladd McConkey pick is interesting as well as Trice. I agree we need another WR and of course an Edge. Will be interesting to see what the brain trust is cooking up.

I think the only reason why Earnest Jones blitzed so much was simply because the Rams could not generate enough pressure from the D-line alone. He was very good at blitzing the QB but the secondary could have used him in the middle too.

I’d rather take a chance in just about any other position than QB with every pick the Rams have in this draft.

Penix absolutely no way I want him on the Rams. Prema Donna drama queen with injury history and older if I’m not mistaken.

Milton I don’t know enough about but not impressed with a guy who can’t hold his job in college and is terrible outside 10 yards down field.

I’d rather spend the pick on a kicker.

Stafford is 1000% more qualified to award the label dirty play/player than anyone "in here". I'll side with him.

I'll try to catch a Battlehawks game, but I normally am underwhelmed by the talent in these minor league teams and quit watching.

Makes up for that shitter invasion a few years ago!

Need some big bodies on DL. NT Bobby Brown gets gassed real fast, averages just 20 some snaps. Need rotational guys there.

The Rams have been successful in selecting football smart with a big heart to win. They don't go by just ability.
So maybe this kid will pay off one day even in a trade scenario. He crushed it in Athens with the Dawgs.

Only explanation is someone I have on block started the thread. Any guesses who that might be?

Jake's podcast is as good or better than any of the network nonsense.
Has a Rams slant of course which is nice.
It always seems when the Rams are up the networks either go to commercial or continue talking about the Cowboys, Whiners, Mahommes or some other star player.
Most of the draft coverage offered by networks is unwatchable.

Way too low
