I Would try and get EJ Manuel. He couldn’t be worse than what we currently got with Mannion and Allen. I’d give it a shoot, he might strive under McVay.
 
Manuel and Lynch intrigue me, however, as I've said on other threads - McVay must think he has the best options at #2 currently.
 
I think they are set until they have to make another corrsponding move in two weeks with Jamon Brown coming off suspension and I expect DT Tanzel Smart to be the casualty barring injury.

I've never seen Scouts that were able to find defensive backs like the Rams have been doing for the last 5-6 years.
Especially the UDFAs.

A lot of great fill in players plugging holes short-term.

Picking up Robey-Coleman.
Picking up John Johnson and Lamarcus Joyner earlier than expected worked out very well.

True but our four safeties now are not UDFA's. They are 2nd, 3rd, 5th & 6th rd draft selections. Rams are set right now but next off season will be interesting in the safety unit due to LJ's UFA status.Might be a interesting twist with one of the corners we have now. I would expect that the scouts you were speaking of will be busy this season because there will be needs in this DB unit next season.

Of the Rams DB's they will have five presently signed DB's entering Free Agency in March in 2019:

Sam Shields UFA
Blake Countess RFA
Kevin Peterson ERFA
Troy Hill UFA
Lamarcu Joyner UFA

I guess I misunderstood the roster exemption. I thought AD could play anyway - that we basically had a 54 man roster for a week. Maybe that’s not the case.

I believe that only applied if AD was not ready and available to play at the time of the 53 man cut down date. I’m not sure if they can hold that 54th spot until opening day or what. I don’t think the Rams will actually use the exemption but I could also have this mixed up.

I realize that, that is why I wrote; "a lot of great short-term players filling in holes".

I'm particularly impressed with the Lamarcus Joyner and John Johnson III picks as far as the draft picks.

UDFAs and scrappy players that I was particularly impressed with include;
Troy Hill
Dominique Hatfield
Isaiah Johnson
Kevin Peterson

But it goes back even further with players like;
Cody Davis
Michael Jordan
Marcus Roberson

Late round picks like EJ Gaines.

Pretty impressive overall.

I think the AD exemption lasted until Monday. May they just released I Johnson early to give him a better chance to make another team's 53.

Great Place for him.

Yeah they need to start finding a replacement for Cam Newton.

It sounds like I'm kidding but I think he's a on a bit of a short leash if he keeps showing this major propensity to choke during big games.

It seems you have this as clearly figured out as I do.:confused:
 
So they cut him and didn’t remove ADs roster exemption then resigned Isaiah? Interesting

what do you mean "Interesting?" I find it confusing. It can't be both confusing and interesting! By the way, what's interesting about it?:effemine:
