Come on man, anytime the guys in Maize and Blue take over it's a good time for College Football!Not a fan of where NIL is taking college ball.

Your favorite QB this draft!

Upon further review, while I still believe that two late 1st round picks is a decent price for a young premium pass rusher in his prime, the Panthers cap situation just might help get a cheaper deal done.
I'd like to see the Rams trade a 2nd round pick and a 6th round pick to San Diego for Khalil Mack.
OMG, the Daily Breeze!Rams are sponsoring a draft party in Hersomosa Beach with a bandstand a 60 yard football field on the sand and hosted by JB Long.
Not far from me and where I learned to sur as a kid. I'll definately be there to represent and make a lot of noise. If any of you ROD members plan to attend,

He was said to be the fastest WR in the combine gauntlet drill like Puka was last year.If that is the case I would hope like Kupp and Puka, his football speed is faster than his track speed. If the scouts think so, then sure.
that would be a dream.Thank you!
When I look at that.. it just reinforces my hope.. they trade back some and trade up some to end up with 6 picks in first four rounds.
I think they could significantly improve the roster with that.
Can’t players pass the ball behind them no matter where they are on the field ?.
Imagine if nfl players could pass the ball backwards like this while moving forward. How many more tds they could score. So much easier to pass to an open player than try to beat a defender.

I more meant initially, it seemed silly to me. Now? I see where people are coming from on the WR thing.I'm not so sure it's silly given the talent there and our need (both this year and starting next year) and we do need to see what happens in the 1st round of FA.
But, I think there's absolutely a strategy to follow if the Rams want to of making one unit elite and the other good enough. I don't know that trying to have unit parity really works in getting you to a Superbowl (not saying you're saying that). But what if we jack up the offense a little more and then add 2-3 more pieces to the defense to get it to be a bit more serviceable and roll that way.
And then Tano will chime in that stats don't tell the entire story and omg - not this againUh-oh. You’ve done it now.
JimY53 will be along shortly with his stats and screen grabs to show how Morris wasn’t actually that bad on third and long.
Yeah more of a tangental point that I looped him in on as it relates to keeping 3 QBs. Wilson, alone, probably has a better arm than any of the guys not named Milton later in the draft. I just wouldn't want him as a number 2 as I don't think you can trust him to win a game.I didn't mention Wilson...I could hopefully see Wentz here and a rookie.
I wonder if the Rams think Milton is workable and they take a flyer on him earlier than some would expect? With 153 & 154, they may use one of those picks on a reach...a guy they like, but a little earlier than most would draft the player. You use one of those because you don't want to lose the guy.
This is totally false and I’ve responded to you multiple times with the info.Noteboom is due $20M, of which $15M is contractually guaranteed and now they will also owe him $5M more in roster bonus if he's on the roster when the new season officially starts on March 13th I believe.
Interesting thought.IMO, the move to the "STAR" position thwarted Durant's growth. Just wasn't a good fit.
Quite a few of us!anyone watching the combine??
Havenstein has given the Rams the most consistency and stability at that position since Jackie Slater.Rob Havenstein
9 seasons
130 regular season starts (out of 147 games)
11 playoff starts, including 2 Super Bowls
35 penalties in 8,881 career snaps
Starter on 5 Top 10 offenses
Yeah…get rid of the bum!![]()
My problem with Havenstein is his play. This is a pass heavy offense and pass protection has always been his weakness. Havenstein has always been a run blocking type of RT which is what "old school" RTs were. That was fine when they had Gurley as their RB and the offense was more run heavy. But now the run game is designed to open up the passing game with an inside run attack. This is a different offense than Sean ran with Gurley which was a perimeter run game.
They are overpaying Havenstein simply because they needed stability on the OL and the rest of the OL was a mess. But now this OL is much better and I would prefer to allocate those cap dollars to someone like Dotson. This is the financial reality we are talking about. Who is worth more a top run blocking RG for a run game that is designed to run inside or a limited RT who is fine in run blocking but struggles to pass protect?
Same with the OL imo. You can go 5 or 6 deep at both tackle spots and center.Simply the deepest CB draft class I can recall.
Yeah McKinstry started the year with the hype but imo Arnold out played him.DBs are a real pain to watch and try to get a handle on due to camera angles. Unless you have access to college team all-22 which I do not have. What I don't like about him is guys seem to separate on him (in comparison to the others listed up there). So it'll be interesting to see his workout at the combine, like his cone time which the Rams seem to put priority on, as well as that 40.
Indeed. When I was looking at Nabers one of the games was vs Bama, and it was clear that they didn't want McKinstry on him, it was mostly Arnold.
