Remind me what Thomas has done again.

Austin is the only current WR that has done anything for the Rams, Woods is next, after that they all have done the same as Thomas.

Remind me what Thomas has done again.

Shown speed in OTA's ...McVay has always spoke well of him.

It's not what has he done but what can he do for the rams now.

[So Ram]

I see 5 locks so far Tavon, woods,Kupp,Reynolds and Thomas

Pharaoh Copper is going to make The Rams 53. He is already lining up as a starter.

because of Tavon's injury, Thomas was taking reps in OTAs when Tavon was out.

 

[WestCoastRam]

Yeah, seems McVay wants Thomas regardless of injury and 4 weeks of suspension.

Austin, Woods, Kupp, Cooper, Thomas...

Reynolds, it would be hard to cut a 4th rounder but it's been done, cut and move to practice squad but all things being equal with anyone else, Reynolds prob takes that last spot.

If not, Spruce or McRoberts maybe? Spruce or McRoberts needs to show a ton in the preseason... and how easy will that be with Mannion and Orlovsky throwing to them.

 

[StealYoGurley]

Remember Thomas doesn't count on the roster for the first 4 games so his spot may be temporarily taken up by another WR or another player. Thomas is probably safer because this offense needs players to take the top off the defense. In terms of upside as a deep threat on the roster Thomas is only behind Reynolds, but I am intrigued by Shakier Ryan as well.

I see it this way for the first 4 games and then there is a probable shakeup after Thomas is activated

X- Woods, Reynolds
Z- Tavon, Cooper
Y-Kupp, Spruce

However it is , or was Pharoh is going to make the 53. He is looking real good.

Spruuce is hot & cold. Maybe it is because Mannion is not playing all that well. In fact I think that is why The Rams brought in Oryovsky

 

[LA_Rams_#29]

Nothing Thomas did in mini-camp should erase his drops last year in real games..now add the suspension... he's not as high on the list IMO... Thomas has to prove he deserves to make this team...

I think Cooper makes the team, he has value in STs as well. Spruce too. I think that the Rams will probably carry 7 Wrs, Tavon hasn't been healthy, I think McVay could use different WR sets for certain matchups, and the bottom end guys (Spruce, Thomas, Cooper) have value on special teams.

1 drop last season(2 if you count the kick off return), in real games. McVay speaks highly of him.

 

[Picked4td]

Personally I think Woods, Kupp, Tavon, Thomas, Reynolds, and Cooper are all locks. cooper is a good wr and a good STer, and imo the replacement for Tavon next year in that gadget role.

 

[InnovatedMind]

LOCKS:

Kupp
Austin
Woods
Pharoh
Thomas
Reynolds

Mcvay likes him and keeps saying we can't wait until he gets back he's a lockbbuddy

if that interception is anything to go by spruce can't show what he's got. waaaay over him.

i hope tavon makes that decision impossible to enact.

[Merlin]

Two other possibilities:

1. Keeping 7 wideouts. Which is unlikely given the expectation to run a lot of 12 personnel.

2. Trading Tavon. This becomes an option if they feel he's not going to stretch the field for them as a receiver this year.

 

[Picked4td]

i hope tavon makes that decision impossible to enact.

imo, itll be next to impossible for that to happen. doubt he'll ever be a better route runner than woods or kupp which essentially puts him 3rd wr at best and for an offense that uses its TEs a lot theres no way you can afford to spend that much money on you're 3rd wr. obviously the gadget type things he can do is where he'd ideally make his worth, but even so I dont think itll be enough to justify that price with this offense. and like I said, i really think cooper is a good replacement for that gadget role
