IMO, all three of those DBs would survive on the PS. I'm guessing they go lighter on DBs because of the versatility of their stars.
Final 53. It’s time to make predictions

Yeah Memphis, I like Blaske too and felt he and Bailey from day one had chances of making the roster. Possible they make that decision to keep him.
I think the 2023 Rams keep a lot of these bubble guys, because they needed talent to grow around the Superstars. The 2026 version of the squad needs to win the Super Bowl. That is why they may not be able to keep some players who have great growth potential but may not have full trust this year (Connors, Blaske, Bailey, Andersen, etc.). Bailey and Blaske may be pushing the boundaries there, but it will be really hard for a CFA to make this team.
I am hoping AZ Hamilton CB & DT Keenan make it. Need to keep an eye towards the future. Would be nice if Connors or Waters stuck, but I get the trust issues and why Rivers will make it.
That is pretty close to what I'd predict. I might put Rivers ahead of Connors. He's probably better in pass protection. And they seem to like him better than the fans.
I think they might keep Xavier Smith for his ability to return punts. Question, who is left off and what position if they do keep him? Putting Daniels on the practice squad might expose him to being poached by a WR needy team. Klare would surely be poached.
If Donald returns who is the odd man out on the DL? I'd probably say Keenan. Hamilton and Davis have more experience. Do they need 4 ILB's?
I agree about Blaske and hope you're right they keep him, at least as a protected PS guy.
I watched PS game 2 rewinding the plays over and over to check out the OL.
Trost was pretty bad. Blake was reliably much better. Trust actually looked like the worst of the OL 2s to me.

23 defensive players is too light Need another DB at least.
Because Hamilton sat out the last game and they traded up for him last year. They probably want to give him more time.I don't know why people think that Ty Hamilton is going to make the roster, especially not over Keenan, Bill Norton or even someone like Murchison. Hamilton has not proven anything at the NFL level. He was terrible his rookie year, has been nothing short of a non-factor, if not an outright disaster in the preseason, no matter where he's lined up: I've seen nothing but missed tackles, no penetration up the middle, and getting washed out of his spot against the run.
Keenan and Norton, on the other hand, can and do play nose tackle, and have shown potential and flashes in this preseason. At the very least, Keenan hasn't been completely moved off his spot like Hamilton has.
Actually took me less than a half-hour, honestly; apparently, I lack something called a "life (what is that?).Appreciate the kind words, though!
Yeah, I like McMahon too. I could see a back up OL like Limmer getting moved. Maybe a DL as well if Donald comes back. Maybe Keenan gets you a KT Leveston type trade if they insist on keeping Hamilton.

All I know is that there'll likely be a cut that will leave some of us scratching our heads. Doesn't seem like there's a way to keep the math mathing otherwise.
I think the PS will be DB heavy with at least three that they can call up. Lampkin, AZ Hamilton, and Anderson.
I don't think any of those guys are going to get any snaps while the top 8 are healthy and I couldn't figure out which OL they would cut.

Yes Need to go heavy @ CB room.
I would not be upset if they secured 2 of the 3 listed CB's Cam Lampkin/ Al'Zillion Hamilton & Nyzier Fourqurean. Then if the 3rd CB is available for PS16 do it.
Where to take the chance? RB unit.
Even if they only secure Williams & Corum.... Rams current RB room of Hunter/ Rivers/ Watters & Connors....I would think that at best 2 of the 4 might get picked up MAYBE but that leaves you 2 most likely 3 to select from to secure
I don't see a loose loose here with the above. Lock up those corners....
I like a lot of this.
One place I disagree.. Keenan is a JAG.. keep Hamilton.. and Kobie becomes your backup nose if Poona is hurt. Way more potential with Hamilton.
The 5 edge & 5 WR is smart. Here’s how I see it.. if you had drafted Bailey and Daniels was the UDFA we wouldn’t even be having a conversation about who to keep.
I hope Blaske can be a baller. They need a win at that position.
They traded up for Chris "Pooh" Paul that same round and cut him the same year.
My take is you know pretty much what you have in a player by the end of year 2. So the Rams will take another year to figure out drafted players Hamilton, Hunter and Mumpfield. As a result those 3 stay on the 53 as they won’t likely make it to the PS.

I think we might already know what Hunter is as a ST player (which is not really anything) and if you're a backup RB that's a problem. I still think it more likely than not that he makes it.
Sure, but they apparently believe in Hamilton as he didn't show much last year and they kept him. The biggest reason is though that he sat last week.
Agreed. Keenan is getting alot of love on youtube on film breakdown. Hamilton is on thin ice. Though the Rams have liked him for whatever reason in the past despite his poor play.I don't know why people think that Ty Hamilton is going to make the roster, especially not over Keenan, Bill Norton or even someone like Murchison.

Limmer needs to be replaced in my opinion by Mcmahon.
And what about the Bill Murray guy that graded out so high? I wonder if he has a shot at 53 if he has another top notch performance.
Every year I get excited about some no name undrafted guy killing it in preseason.
But agreed with others, in reality this roster is too stacked for a preseason star to have much of a shot.
Outside of Bailey, I am not holding my breath.
But our roster is really insane. Maybe the most talented roster ever for the Rams, with the coaching to boot.
Tip my cap to the team that beats us if we are able to stay healthy.
