QB

[WestCoastRam]

If Fields had one more year on his deal I'd do a trade. His market is way worse than anticipated. At best he'll be in a QB competition next year. Probably a backup. Dude can't throw over the middle and that's a issue in McVay's offense though.

Only QB I would take at 19 that should be there is Pennix. I think Pennix is going to be the QB prize of this draft as it is. Dont want anything to do with Nix or McCarthy, feel like backups not starters at the NFL.

Other option: Sign Wentz if the price is right.
Cheaper options: Mac Jones, hearing NE wants a 5th. Not a huge fan but smart and could be a good fit for a McVay style of offense. Arm strength could be a concern.
Zac Wilson: All the tools, could McVay get in his head?

Overall, QB would not be a focus for me at this point. Still think we have a 3 year window at this position. First option would be resigning Wentz though.

They are not drafting their future star QB in this draft. If they draft one he will hopefully be a competent back up or project as a 3rd string QB.

And I am not saying you are expecting them to draft a star QB, just making a statement on the reality of what your post highlights on late rd QBs.

Agree across the board, I was just messing about and put that info together. I didnt want to start a new thread for it, just thought it would fit best here.
For every Tom Brady there are thousands of guys who dont even make a team
BUT you cant find a solid clipboard holder and a guy who could can run the offense in practice well enough.

Penix will absolutely be there at 19... and 52.

Would definitely take him at 52 then. Would run to the podium with that pick.

I'm not in love with that but not opposed.

I like the idea of taking Rattler with the 2nd, 3rd pick, #100.

Man, I don't seem him lasting till then.

I don't know only so many teams are looking at QBs and there will also be some pretty good QBs getting released because of teams being tight against the cap.

Might be the 5th QB off the board.

I like this idea.

Stafford is the starter. We all know that. Snead mentioned going the veteran route for the backup. I really don't see them drafting one till later in the draft. A project type guy. They will need a 3rd QB.

 

[Memento]

I like this idea.

Prefer Bailey Zappe out when it comes to both current New England quarterbacks. Mac Jones rubs me the wrong way, and he's lost his job to Zappe a lot of times.

I liked both QBs coming out as depth types for QB2. But Zappe isn't the one who is rumored to be cheap. If the Rams make a move it would have to be someone the team will accept a cheap pick for instead of cutting them.

Also of course a late round draft pick would be best. Someone with high snap count, so lots of experience but arm limited. There's a certain ex-ND and Wake Forest QB that I'd like them to take for that.

Backup QB is very important for the Rams. Draft? Free agency? Who knows. No one could have predicted Wentz would win a game for us agains the 9ers. Going to be interesting but impossible to know who that QB ultimately will be.

If some think Fields may have to settle for a back up role or will have to compete for a starting position, then Wentz will be a back up as well. Of course he still might prefer being a back up to one of these young guys since he may have a better chance to start.

Then again that would be on a bad team. So maybe backing up a vet like Stafford actually gives him a better chance to be successful IF the starter gets hurt.

It will be interestinif to see if he wants to be here and if they want him here. They have not really stated that they want him back or that they are talking to him about coming back.

I do not like Penix throwing motion. It will not work in the NFL until he fixes that.

 

[PARAM]

I would like to see the Rams address Edge and OL in free agency and then draft CB and QB.

They could draft a QB this year but I'd prefer a QB in the first round for talent and 5 years of control. This ain't the year to do that IMHO. They've said they want a "vet #2" and though they could easily draft a #3, why carry that many? Roster spots are valuable. And besides, we just signed casualty insurance for Stafford for 48 mil. Next year? Drew Allard? Riley Leonard? They're both big, 6'5" and both accurate. Two things McVay's #1's have in common. Stafford is under contract through 2026. We want to waste 3 years on a 4 or 5 year deal? Or 2 years on a 5 year deal?

 

[Ramstien]

I agree with you Param, however would these QBs be available in the 2025 draft at pick #32.

I will get back to you on Drew Allard, however, I could see McVay liking Riley Leondard. Big, Smart, good arm, and can run.
