That's still plenty of cap space, particularly in light of the likely D-Will cut and the ability to move money around. I also doubt Stafford getting a raise will worsen our cap situation.

Really do like your offseason FA signings. We really needed a vet swing OT as we all remember the Humphries disaster. Watson would be a dream signing for us. Likely makes us even more scary in the pass game, an upgrade on what we have currently.
I seriously doubt the Rams would take an off ball linebacker that high in the draft. Just monetarily, its not terribly wise. Rodriguez in the 2nd or even a trade back at 29 makes a lot more sense to me. I do like Styles though, just would much rather grab a CB/WR as those are very highly paid positions and big needs for us. I'm also not as high on Cencepcion as you, he's good, but I think a 2nd rounder.
Mohammad is the pick I LOVE. Think he is a future stud. I too need to do more study on most of the rest of the draft, but like the Kamara pick.
Gentry seems like he will get tossed around in the NFL, boy is bone thin and tall. Pretty dang effective in college, don't think he will be in the NFL, but just my opinion.
Great mock offseason

I'm really warming up to the idea of taking Styles at 13. With what's effectively a bonus pick, you gotta get a difference maker in the top 15. Styles is a weapon. 6'5 240 lbs with safety coverage skills and a fantastic blitzer. A force multiplier that will make the entire defense better. Spend 29 and 61 on corners, this D will cook.

I generally don't like ILB picks in the first round, but Styles is worth it. He fills a huge need, is arguably the BPA, and has the potential to be one of the best ILBs in the game. We're talking a guy who has the size and athleticism to matchup with the best TEs in the NFL, can run sideline to sideline, can bang between the tackles, and rarely missed tackles this year. He's a bit of a unicorn.
excellent. Hope he's there! will be interesting if the Rams see it the same way. But I think you may be right--take away the short passing game & we will k*ll most of these offenses that hurt us with it.
I was listening to former scout Bryan Broaddus and he thought it odd that Styles wasn't that strong in coverage given his safety background. He also talked about how poorly he took on blocks.
I'd love for the team to add his speed to the defense, but maybe the OSU DT Kayden McDonald that helped keep him clean might be a better option in the 1st round.
They now show $42M. Looks like they increased their estimate of what the cap will be to match closer to what Spotrac shows. I also noticed the Eagles cap space increased by $8M to $18M. They previously were at $10M.
So the Rams will have $50M after D Will is released.
