If OBj leaves, the WR room regresses. Jones is good, but we have another ILB position and a S and CB to improve. A

Who was laughing at the Rams? I dont recall it that way at all. Kirk is being paid top 5 WR money, when Woods signed with the Rams it barely put him inside the top 30 and had very little guaranteed money after his first season. They paid Woods less than what Britt got paid when he left, and that was a good riddance kind of deal

Agreed but above all else it was health and availability that let the Bucs down. Their o-line was down some key pieces by the time the Rams faced them. AB was, perhaps unsurprisingly, gone after another meltdown. Godwin was injured. Fournette was playing in his first game back off a bad hamstring injury - which is a big deal for a RB. Their secondary had some injuries.
The NFL is a war of attrition as much as anything else.
Somehow, the Rams overcame a rash of serious injuries in the Super Bowl against a very healthy Bengals sqaud, which makes the Rams' win even more impressive.

Curious, how are they improved if Michel is leaving? Big question mark there with Hendo/Akers injury history.
Also of note, Michel only fumbled 1 time in 260 plays.
Dont see how him leaving makes the team better

I concur and believe the Rams will draft a RB during the draft someone like Isaih Pacheco out of Rutgers versatile and decent size at 5'11 216lbs who was under utilized at Rutgers because most of the time, they were playing from behind.

Tampa Bay was the NFC #2 seed. I don't call that letting up especially since they were a wild card team the year before.
The Rams just whooped dat ass.

The Rams team needs an RB that is versatile to do many things good enough does not have to be great but the main element in his game is whomever Snead selects (it may be two) being able to be the last line in #9 safety net protection.
So yes an RB coming in @ around 216 lbs would be great.

I think we are all expecting Akers to look much better as he gets further away from his injury. I do agree that we'd be better with Michel. He was one helluva pick up I'd rather have him then He do since Hendo always gets bit by the injury bug. The only problem we have is our cap room to pay him. Unless Michel takes way less money to re-sign (which I highly doubt he'll do), those FA dollars are going elsewhere.

Always liked Pacheco, he was one of the players Rutgers had that could be a game changer even though they were behind most of the time. Runs a 4.37 and can catch the ball well, needs to improve in pass protection. My ideal guy would be Brian Robinson of Alabama, however, I believe the Rams have other needs before RB.

Myles Jack is definitely intriguing. He looked promising coming out of college. I have not followed him at the NFL level, but coming from the Jacksonville, you might be fair to expect he would improve and excel in a better environment.

A full season of Akers - or even half a season - will make the RB room better than it was last season.

Any way Allen or Tretter can play guard? ......this is the type of run mauler I'd like to have in the middle as he has blocked on a very run heavy team pretty well.....yes, let me just dream cuz it ain't happening lol

Oh, now I'd be happy with Wagz or Jack coming here. Both won't count against comp picks so they are right up our alley. I think we are in a waiting pattern with seeing if we can resign Von first though. I'd think Von would be on board with us being able to add more talent on the D to play with him, so I'm hoping he's willing to take a tiny bit less.

Is Tretter a 'run-mauler'? I thought pass-blocking was his strength.
Not sure either Allen or Tretter are ideal at guard.
