Honestly just wish they did get one but it is what is at the moment. Hopefully we see quite a bit of improvement from our secondary because if we do, man would our defense be much better. I'm now hoping we do get Ramsey back.
Ramsey isn’t a plus cb anymore he’s just a name we’re ok at cb ya making much of nothing Remember at times the dline wasn’t getting to the qb they will be ok

He was the 8 th best corner last year. He's still better than anyone on the Rams roster. But he’s likely too expensive.

When he left he was getting torched and they been mentioning he might switch to safety
He was playing the Star. He wasn’t playing outside corner. When a big part of the responsibility is to play the run it’s easy to see how a guy may not read the play right and get beat. How many pass break ups does Quentin lake get from that position?

So far the only people saying he should move to safety are fans.

I seen it on tv that him and Miami coaches were thinking about the switch

He actually is, but I get it, you don't like the guy. He's better than any CB we have but we'll simply agree to disagree.

I'm guessing Paul will be the first "starter" from this group. I think he's a better prospect than Speights was, more instinctive vs the pass and feels quicker in his change of direction.

Speights has two advantages, those being a full year in the system, as well as an ability to stop runners in their tracks. For his size he is very strong.

Both are close on their 40 time. I think ideally Paul & Speights are the pairing on early downs. But the big question is who comes off on passing downs. And in that comparison I think Paul's pass game instincts will win him the job.

Oh and btw I would not rule out Dolac in any regard. He's faster than both of them, though he played weaker competition so we'll have to wait and see how he translates.
