Well, I'm still mourning a bit over the loss, but I have super high hopes for next season. Here's my take on where the Rams néed to upgrade in free agency or draft to bring in new blood. Of course I can't be sure where some of our FA's won't be re-signed or let go due to salary cap considerations.
Our special teams is solid. I think Pharoah Cooper's confidence was a bit shaken in the playoff game but I'm confident he will learn and get better from it. No special needs in the ST area.
On offense, we definitely need to bring in some OL depth and maybe another WR if we can find a gem in the later rounds with blazing speed. I think other that than we are pretty set offensively. I'm hoping we can add a solid OL from free agency perhaps to help bolster a pretty good OL.
On Defense, we need to upgrade our LB's. Ogletree did a decent job but he's a better fit at OLB and not ILB. Can you imagine this defense with an outstanding ILB like Ray Lewis? We need to upgrade the LB corps. Not sure where Tru will wind up. I hope he stays and we need to re-sign Joyner. But I think we need to bring in another CB to the mix and we need more DL depth. If we can make those upgrades, our defense might be downright scary next season. Of course I'm assuming AD will get his big contract and will be back.
I don't think we are too many players away from being a front runner to win the NFC title and a super bowl. Obviously we were pretty good this season but a few upgrades can make a really good team a great team.
I'm curious to hear what other Rams fans think about what we need to do in the off season this coming year.
High hopes for the 2018 season!
