Can Rams Re-Sign OBJ???

[SeminoleRam]

I certainly Hope So!!!

I'd like to see it. But at this point I'd like to see Gronk instead since our TE room looks a bit green. Could be argued we'd get him for most of the year and also add another big weapon to overload defenses.

Seriously, though, Higbee is all the veteran leadership we need at tight end, and this is a fantastic class for tight ends.

I'm not worried because OBJ wants to be here. IMO things are on hold pending AD's contract. It's why Wagner hasn't been officially introduced. AD and Kupp are the extensions that should clear enough cap to get things done.

I don’t see how Gronk gets open anymore, he’s lost several steps from his glory days.

Take an average defense. Solve Kupp and Robinson. Then what is the plan for Gronk. In that role he is still a nice weapon who will get open and when not open Stafford can still throw it to him.

So much depends on what they think about - Jefferson, Harris, Atwell and Skowronek.

Jefferson is a solid number 3/4 receiver. Hes got his limitations, like body catching and not fighting for the ball but he's able to get open and has enough downfield speed to be a threat. Right now he is clearly the number 3 receiver.

Skowronek is a good fourth receiver. He's better short and intermediate, than he is going long. He is a big body that can block well and run after the catch. He still has some learning to do, like not stopping to catch a ball on a crossing route, but he seems to be a 7th round steal.

Atwell is really a wait and see at this point, but if Stafford prefers bigger, taller receivers, then does he fit? Where does he fit? Hes fighting for number four or five. If OBJ does sign then hes fighting to be number 6 or 7. If he could push to get ahead of Jefferson that would be amazing.

Harris this is where it could get interesting. Harris has great size, speed and jumping ability. If he can learn to be an NFL receiver he could be deadly and move up into the number 3 spot, or end up fighting for 6/7 with Atwell. He was a fourth round pick. I hope he can develop ito something before his fourth year. Year two would be outstanding.

Trying to reason this out I'd say signing Allen Robinson, means they are not counting on Harris or Atwell. One of them has to vault past Skowronek to even see the field as it is now. If they sign OBJ, then Skowronek is fighting for snaps with Jefferson. Its a glut. What does it mean? I'm guessing if they push very hard for Beckham, then that means they either want an elite three man corps or they don't believe in any of last years picks. Or, they signed Robinson because they either think they won't be able to sign Beckham or he's Beckham's replacement and insurance to keep them from being desperate to sign Odell and grossly overpaying him. It feels like, if they sign Odell, then Jefferson becomes trade bait. He's too good to sit.

If the Rams don't draft a Tight End in this draft it says that they believe in Blanton or Hopkins to develop into being a good blocker. Neither could beat out Mundt in that role last year, so I'm betting against it. A blocking tight end seems to be a real need. Higbee isn't young nor the smoothest Tight End. They need insurance and the run game struggled without Higbee. Could this be a two tight end draft?

I don’t see that. AD99 wants to get PAID!!! IMO he holds out ALL Summer,might come to a couple OTA’s for good faith like he did in 2015-17?
Cooper Kupp? Robert Woods just got traded,so don’t think he is going to give up much that money?

I am hopeful but not expecting any real contribution this season. Harris is an athlete and not yet a football player

Agreed. I don’t like projects before round 5. It could take a guy like that six years to fully develop. Do the Rams sign him when his contract is up? Did they develop to be good for another team? Or does he never become a good contributor? Every pick is a gamble but I lean toward the football player a bit more, even if they are not elite athletes.

No thank you....fuck that piece of shit Brady dick rider. Besides he only wants to play with his prison bunk mate, Princess Brady. Honestly not knocking ur suggestion, just simply don't care for the guy.

Blanton and Hopkins contributed quite well in the postseason. What we need is another Mundt, not a pass catcher. That kid from Georgia is a great blocker. 17 career catches and 200 yards is not going to garner much attention. He can probably be had in the 7th or as an UDFA. But he is a great blocker and probably a better receiver than Mundt. Another one is Jordan Wilson (FSU). A better receiver than Fitzpatrick.

- Tight end Jordan Wilson, who said he is fully healthy and around 247 pounds right now, shared what he feels he needs to show NFL teams tomorrow after some teams needing tight ends spoke with his agent: "Basically they all know that I am a great in-line blocker, so tomorrow I feel like it will be a great benefit for me to show how good I am running routes and being fluid, in-and-out of cuts, catching the ball. So I feel like that will be a big point of emphasis for me tomorrow."

On OBJ, like I said in another thread, it could be he's already got a deal with the Rams. They've proven they take care of their own so they won't screw him. Rehab, heal and when you're ready we'll sign you to a multi-year deal with some guarantees and cash for 2022. He loves L.A. and Stafford (and Kupp). And regardless of how good Kupp, Robinson, Jefferson and the rest play, you can always use another receiving weapon in this offense.

I've been hearing they have enough set aside for OBJ. Like its been speculated, maybe they're waiting to get the extensions done for AD and Kupp. If they're in contact with OBJ and both sides are in agreement then there is no hurry. The only problem I see is if another team enters the picture and offers him a deal he can't turn down. But I really can't see that. Not when they know he won't be available till the middle of the season.

I'm huge on John Fitzpatrick, much like they developed Kendall Blanton, they could do the same with Fitzpatrick, who is 6-7 250lbs. Agreed I believe he can be added as an UDRFA and developed because of the deep class of TE's.

 

[Jacobarch]

Two years ago I would have said yes to gronk. But he's since then lost another step. Im not sure if he gets signed by anyone before camp starts. He's most likely signed due to an injury. Imo

 

[Merlin]

Biggest prob with TE is who blocks if Higs goes down. Markway might be that guy, he has been around. But yeah it would be nice to see them take a shot on a project who has a nice floor for blocking but maybe some hands and upside too.

I realize McVay loves the big athletes but maybe a Herman Munster type TE would be in order here. And you take him after a shot at CB and OLB I hope.

 

[Classic Rams]

I'd rather see gronk just stay where he karmatically belongs.

 

[den-the-coach]

Kendall Blanton is a great blocker, watch how he handled Bosa in the NFC Championship game. They have been developing Blanton as a receiver, his blocking was his strength at Missouri and IMO, after his success in the NFC Championship game, they felt good about allowing Mundt to leave.
