Those are my two favorites right now. Haven't really evaluated, just from seeing them play. Watched Hooper a lot, he's a weapon. Butt has a chance too, to be a complete guy.
I'm really struggling to see a passing O solution for the Rams...

Cap numbers are not bullshit numbers to teams. They must plan their current and future rosters within the framework of the salary cap.
Cap numbers are not bullshit numbers to players. They get signed/restructured/cut and generally valued based upon their performance relative to their cap numbers.
The fact that cap numbers can be changed and manipulated within the framework of the NFL rules doesn't make them "bullshit." If there was no salary cap, none of this would matter in evaluating a player or his contract. Until that day comes cap numbers are important. Players' cap numbers are important considerations in evaluating players and their contracts relative to others; especially relative to others at the same position. In that context Kendricks' combination of performance, cap number and contract are bad when compared to other TE's.
If the Rams don't immediately cut Kendricks within a few days after the 2016 league year starts, then his $3,250,000 salary for 2016 becomes guaranteed. The Rams may be OK with this. They may not be and cut him if they feel like taking the $1,250,000 cap hit. We'll know what the Rams do by mid-March. One thing is certain, TE's of Kendricks caliber on other teams take up much less of their teams cap space.

I don't understand why Kendricks name keeps coming up as a cap problem. He was signed to do what he is doing, namely a lot of blocking and occasional pass catching. The Rams summarized it when they signed him, that he was important to what they wanted to do. I would be shocked if they're anything but happy with him.
Cook is the problem. The dude is a pass-centric TE that can't do what he's supposed to do consistently.

By cap problem I mean the motherFer is not worth what he is paid. Kendricks is appropriately paid given what he does for the offense, he does good things in the run game and can actually catch the ball periodically so I have no probs paying him his salary moving forward.

He had a broken thumb
Lance Kendricks is recovering from thumb surgery, and is questionable for Week 7.
According to coach Jeff Fisher, Kendricks has been playing hurt since Week 1. That could explain some of Kendricks' costly drops. He should be considered week to week, and will likely be back by Week 8.
