10 Things I think I think ahead of the draft

[WestCoastRam]

1) Rams have 7 total selections in the draft, Rams do not have 7 roster spots available for players.

2) Rams can stand pat at 13 and have a top pick slide to them. It will not be a WR.

3) Schraeger told us Rams like Lemon and cause taking Lemon at 13 or trading back for Sadiq are not our top choice, they're backup options.

4) The whole draft hinges on Stafford's extension and a sense of whether he'll play for more than one more year.

5) Rams are between a rock and a hard place as far as backup QB options go. Don't rule out a draft day trade for a QB on another roster. This will be a 2027 pick.

6) KC Concepcion is the best WR in this draft class if his drops get cleaned up.

7) I don't expect Rams to keep pick 61. I think it's more likely they trade back from it but could trade up from it.

8) There's a 20% chance the Rams draft one of the safeties in the 1st, I expect them to move on from Kinchens for draft capital. It won't be a lot.

9) Rams will not draft a RB in this class.

10) I think there's a chance the Rams don't draft a WR in 1st two days and they will trade for a functional third WR on day 3 using 2027 draft capital.

Something to ponder but #4 doesn't mean he is for sure playing for more than this next year. It could be to give him more guaranteed money and add in a void year to accomplish that.

Absolutely.

1) If the Rams Love a player, and he falls to around 6-7, and they can trade up cheaper than it typically cost, they will make a move up. But all of that happening is unlikely.

2) They will not take a WR at 13.

3) They likely don't stay at 13, but if they do, it's very likely for OL.

4) If they trade down into the 18-22ish range, it will be for Simpson.

5) If the Rams trade down into the 18-22ish range, we may see Arizona jump them from 34. Those two teams will be jockeying for Simpson. The Rams would take him, but not at 13.

6) If the Rams trade down for a 2nd, there's a 50% chance that they package that 2nd with 61 to move up for a WR in the late 1st or early 2nd. Boston, Concepcion. Someone in that range.

7) It's likely that the Rams don't come out of this draft with a coverage ILB. Sorry.

8) I've got a suspicion that the Jimmy G retirement rumors are part of the smoke related to their QB situation. Everything will magically clear up right after the draft.

9) I'm eyeing OL, likely a center, at that 3rd round pick.

10) They will come out of this draft with a WR, some OL, and a CB for sure. Everything is fluid and murky.
