Is he a better player than young? I don't know much about him
I was wondering that myself. Jack is a name, Young isn't. Jack has good experience but tbh i don't know if he's any good.

He was unreal at UCLA. The real scoop (and the only opinion that matters) is with his former teammate, #5...

Not sure this makes sense $$$ wise, but he's been my favorite UCLA player since Wendell Tyler! Love to have him on the Rams.

Unless it's a rare player for player trade that includes a Rams draft pick. Jacksonville has a terrible defensive front, so trade them Robinson and a draft pick for Myles, ... that would work for our CAP situation, and both Myles & Robinson are 26 years old.

Also, maybe Youngs got a ceiling and Jones who will have some bumps could even surpass that ceiling by end of season/playoffs...

This front office has proved itself for a good while now.

Got a feeling we will know soon enough what is up.

Could we be trying to pry Reggie Ragland from the NYG for a pick?

We need to get Ernest Jones more snaps 100%. Made no sense to draft Tutu and Jones in the 2nd and 3rd rounds, just for both of them to ride the bench their rookie seasons. Ernest is a better overall talent than Kenny Young, but I'm sure is still a bit raw. He needs reps and game time to develop. He is also just a more natural tackler and run defender than Young.

Also, one thing to keep in mind regarding a subsequent trade. If we are targeting a more proven player or someone with a higher cap hit, we can extend Stafford to create another $10M in cap room. I thought we would do that last off-season but there was no one left to sign in FA. Now that we've seen Stafford tear up the NFL for 7 weeks there should be no hesitation to extend him and create more cap room if needed.

Do you know if they have anybody good?
Unfortunately, a little too good-


They have some OLBs they could trade, but that's not really what the Rams need at this point.

Won't happen, but if they wanted to some more cap space, they could move Desean Jackson and let Atwell play.

Makes as much sense as moving Young for Jones, IMO. Especially, since Jackson hardly plays.

I believe the whole plan was to keep DJax safe for the play-offs.

I thought old friend Micah Kiser might be available.

But no, he is in his familiar location...on IR...for the Broncos no less.
