Rams Report: How they look with free agents gone, draft ahead

The NFL salary cap and draft ensure that every team, even the league’s best and worst, is some combination of strengths and weaknesses.

The Rams have battled the salary cap in the first week of free agency, and now begin to home in on the three-day draft that begins April 29 (although the first of their six picks doesn’t come up until the second round on April 30).

As the Rams restructured enough veterans’ contracts to get under this year’s lower cap by last Wednesday’s deadline, the lack of spending room kept them from signing any new players so far, allowed them to re-sign only one of their unrestricted free agents (again, so far) while letting eight go, and prompted them to trade one of the stalwarts of their defense.

It’s a funny way to begin a year when the Rams are thought to be all-in to win the Super Bowl at SoFi Stadium next February. But they’re confident they’re better at the most important position, quarterback. And they think they have the depth and smarts to patch leaks elsewhere.

Time for a progress report, if progress is the word.

Here’s a position-by-position look at where the Rams are good to go, where they have work to do, and where the past week leaves them with question marks.

GOOD TO GO

Quarterback: General manager Les Snead thinks the Rams went “from good to great” at the position when the Jared Goff-for-Matthew Stafford trade became official Thursday, and Stafford said he welcomes the pressure. John Wolford, back to being the backup, is signed through 2021.

Running back: With Cam Akers becoming a clear No. 1 late in his rookie season and young Darrell Henderson No. 2, the issue is how to replace Malcolm Brown after the veteran signed with the Dolphins. Snead has expressed confidence in Xavier Jones, who played on special teams as an undrafted rookie.

Outside linebacker: Re-signing Leonard Floyd (four years, up to $64 million) was the Rams’ most positive move of the week, making up for losing free-agent Samson Ebukam to the 49ers. Terrell Lewis’ injury issues mean they probably must draft again for this group.

NEEDS WORK

Offensive line: If the Rams re-sign free-agent center Austin Blythe, the unit can return intact after a much-improved season, with some young backups standing ready as well. Left tackle Andrew Whitworth, who turns 40 on Dec. 12, looks as if he’ll stay for the second season of a three-year contract after restructuring his deal this week.

Cornerback: Free agent Troy Hill’s departure to the Browns leaves a hole opposite Jalen Ramsey. Darious Williams, a restricted free agent, is likely to stay. David Long, the 2019 third-rounder, is the Rams’ highest pick at cornerback since second-rounder Janoris Jenkins in 2012. That has to change in this year’s draft.

Inside linebacker: Exclusive-rights free agent Travin Howard was tendered a contract and should get a second chance at the starting role he lost to a September knee injury. His return can bolster this much-maligned group, but it’s time to use a top-four-rounds pick on the position for the first time since first-rounder Alec Ogletree (2013).

Special teams: Long snapper Jake McQuaide signing with the Cowboys after 10 years in St. Louis and L.A. presents another area of concern, along with poor return and return-coverage units, for new special teams coordinator Joe DeCamillis.

QUESTION MARKS

Wide receiver: Stafford praised Robert Woods’ and Cooper Kupp’s ability to get open and gain yards after the catch, but he didn’t say they or Van Jefferson (or Josh Reynolds, a yet-unsigned Rams free agent) are the deep threat McVay wants. This draft looks well-stocked with wide receivers.

Tight end: Whether a signing or draft pick is needed to replace No. 2 tight end Gerald Everett (who signed with the Seahawks) depends on how much like 2020 fourth-rounder Brycen Hopkins after a season of sparing use.

Defensive line: Depth is needed. Trading nine-year Ram Michael Brockers to the Lions and losing free-agent Morgan Fox to the Panthers leaves four experienced defensive linemen on the roster, Aaron Donald (should he count for more than one?), Sebastian Joseph-Day, A’Shawn Robinson and Greg Gaines.

Safety: Some combination of Taylor Rapp, Jordan Fuller and Terrell Burgess figures to play the two positions with John Johnson gone to Cleveland. The question is if any of them can replace his leadership.

There comes a time for every team where you need to depend on unproven players. The best teams limit those to positions with less impact/responsibility - so having two studs at CB and a returning safety allows you to let Rapp/Burgess fight for the other safety spot, and Long/Burgess/Deayon fight for the nickle spot - let's not forget that Rams fans wanted Troy Hill cut every off-season, so it's not like we rolled out a certified star there.

In fact, I would argue that after Center, the fourth WR spot is the most critical because:

2017 - Woods misses a few games
2018 - Kupp out for half the year
2019 - Cooks misses a few games
2020 - Kupp misses most important game of the season

In every season, our fourth WR has had to play a significant role on offense. We don't have a Long/Burgess/Rapp waiting in the wings at this WR spot.

 

[dang]

So on offense:
- Its likely the Rams sign Blythe. Which I hope triggers a draft pick early for a C. Blythe would start the season but I would hope the new C could surpass His limited skill set. Round 2 should have some good prospects.
- Speed receiver/return man in Round 3.
-Best available OL in round 4 seems likely.
-Maybe FA depth at TE/FB.

On defense:
- It sounds like the Rams may also pick up a FA CB.
- Best ILB or OLB in round 3.
- DL depth in round 6.
- CB/S depth in round 7.

FREAKING FUNNY when The Rams starting Free Safety is not even mentioned. LMAO.

Maybe I’m naïve, but from what I saw in 2020 I believe in this no name player. His numbers didn’t show up
like I would have liked. His improvement(development) & skill set only makes for my case in my head.
Evero is taking over so it might make my case even better. Fuller is such a good rookie for how slow he is.I think he is more of the same from 2020.
Burgees is coming off injury so he might be behind the eight ball.
Anyway we will say . Then there is this kid Juju & 2 DB’s from Georgia that Us Ram Fans don’t know much about.

Yeah - center is a number 1 position of need only in the sense that The Rams have not named one. The fact Brian Allen was The Rams starter with Joe Noteboom after The Rams lost in the SuperBowl was SAD!!!

WTF - was McSnead or McKromer thinking. ADD Austin Blythe being the starting RG which he won BASICALLY by DEFAULT!!! Anyone who watched The Rams loss in the SuperBowl saw that Sullivan & Blythe were the weakness upfront.
Now if anyone ever wants to ask or know about John Sullivan. I will say he was such a GREAT LOCKER ROOM guy.
The Rams were so lucky to have had him. Sullivan & Whitworth made Roger Saffold such a better player.He meant so much to Jared Goff & The Offensive Lines growth even til TODAY!!! His last game as a Ram THE FREAKING REF made a FATHEM holding Call. Gurley had a 10 plus first down run late in the 3rd qrt. Crossing the 50yrd line into Patriot half of the field. Only to have a holding call bring it back. Todd Gurley would have broke out & The Rams would have won. That’s fine. History is history & that is just my opinion.

What I know is Austin Blythe always talked about Brian Allen taking over for Sullivan.He said it was a tall task,but he & Brian Allen learned so much from #65. Whitworth after the 2019 season said The Rams missed having Sullivan. Mcvay cut him,but still talks about what he meant & what that position means to The Rams.
Austin Blythe should have been the swing C/G. Noteboom being between both Sullivan & Whitworth. The Rams should have cut Demby & brought in a Low cost Veteran RG in 2019.
—That all said & The Rams are in THE BEST space they have been with The OFFENSIVE LINE. IMO

FA

* CB (Slot)... Cheap. Still some slot options in that group and I think corner is likely to see someone brought in.

* Center (Starter)... Underwhelming options makes this unlikely IMO. One could ask why do this if you're gonna draft it anyway. Rams probably looking to poach a bargain here but good luck with that. If it's Blythe by God it better be backup money lol but IMO it won't be Blythe which means it will be Blythe because these bastids rarely do what we want.

* ILB (Starter)... Guys who can help us are available, not big upgrades but improvements. It's possible though unlikely, as this is a place to save money on your roster.

* WR (Slot)... Rams can't afford an outside the hashes type with their cap space. But a low end signing is possible and maybe even likely once the floor drops out a bit.

* 5T (Starter)... There are some decent options left to fill that role in FA if you want a run stopper. Maybe they like Robinson and this is not a need but putting it here since I am skeptical on him. There is a lot of money in our front too which might work against this but also the draft is weak at DL and we have more needs than picks right now.

DRAFT

* OLB... If there's a blindside type they like at any pick it will trump everything else IMO.
* Center... Lots of options and IMO round 3 range is a nice spot barring a run on them or something.
* CB... Plenty of options and the need may be greater than we think if they expect to lose DWill next year.
* WR... Ton of good options and fits so this is a likely fallback at any point that will boost the passing game.
* 5T... This DL class isn't as good as the previous couple years this may be hard to pull off.
* ILB... I think there's a chance they take Jamin Davis if he makes it to us. One of these years an ILB will slide to us in round 2 lol. If not then the mid to late round types they might take a shot on one of them.
* Returner... Not too tough to pull off but it's time to make that a priority. Also find some gunners too ffs.

I'm sure I'm forgetting something. But if they address CB and WR in FA that draft need list becomes a lot more manageable.

Good stuff. That FA list looks long, but would be great.

I am starting to think WR in the draft, unless those Jackson rumors have merit.

 

[den-the-coach]

I thought we all have been far ahead of these guys........they seem "A Day Late $$ Short" in comparison to members here in Rams On Demand!

It's obvious that the pundits know less about the Rams then most of us and that's understanding...Now we have to get ready for the virtual after the Rams extend Austin Blythe.

 

[den-the-coach]

I am starting to think WR in the draft, unless those Jackson rumors have merit.

i think you could see both because Jackson is not durable to communicate the least and I would rather keep Jackson for the fly patterns and have someone else return punts.

 

[Rams43]

Gonna keep this as simple as possible.

Cap dictates very limited FA moves of any prominence. Period.

I see a 2nd tier C, probably Blythe, to be FA placeholder until a drafted rookie beats him out, hopefully by midseason.

A value 2nd tier ILB might be a possibility if one that Snead/Morris really think can help comes within cap range. Emphasis ‘might’.

But that’s it for any meaningful FA moves, y’all. Forget WR, CB, S, and probably TE as FA’s this offseason in terms of meaningful contributors. Just no cap money available unless they restructure Stafford and they’ve indicated that they don’t plan to do that.

As to early draft position? That’s easy.

#1 need is Center for the immediate future. Their reluctance to sign a top FA speaks volumes. Two visits with Meinerz also says a lot. If not Meinerz, one of the other top C’s will be the target. Hope they get this one right.

#1A is WOLB. And depending on who falls, this could be our first pick.

All other needs take a back seat to those two and it’s not even close. Only if a tremendous player falls will Snead look elsewhere at 57 and 88, IMO.

Now, having said that, I have a few other thoughts.

I’m almost positive that Snead will try to trade down out of 57 and maybe 88 IF he likes the talent landscape just below that fits his Ram board.

Rams are likely looking for the following position fits that fall when it’s their pick. In no particular order because it’s gonna be strictly BPA at each pick.

LOT
CB
TE
ILB
Maaaybe a RB, I suppose.

Two things I’ll leave you with. Be alert for tradedowns at any time and Days 2 and 3 should be quite exciting for we Ram fans. I fully expect another good Snead/McVay draft. I also kinda suspect that Snead’s crack scouting department will do better than most teams in uncovering Covid restriction gems both late in draft and in UDFA.

 

[Merlin]

I see a 2nd tier C, probably Blythe, to be FA placeholder until a drafted rookie beats him out, hopefully by midseason.

I think that's a waste of money and cap space. Would not surprise me of course since Blythe has compromising photos of McVay or something. He has to. Because on the film he's the weak link and liability on this offense and it's not close he wins by a landslide. Also if McVay has shown us anything it's that he has extremely high standards so that does not jive well with Blythe lol.

I may end up looking like a jackass yet again when the Rams sign him but I really think this groundswell with Blythe is driven by PFF and their grades on Blythe are inflated IMO.

If you took two OL and had them block at center and both had the same miss rate on blocks when you grade snap to snap you would think they are equal. But grading each snap doesn't encompass grade of failure on the fail snaps. In the case of guys who aren't strong enough (Blythe is among these) when you lose you lose big. Which means you lose control of your assignment. Which means he can make big plays that affect field position. So even though you may have two OL who PFF thinks win at the same rate on average because of how they grade you can have a disparity in effectiveness or risk that you encounter by playing them.

2021 NFL Free Agency: Who are the best remaining after one week?

And why the Rams should consider a Sammy Watkins reunion

Everybody should pick a theme of the thing they are going to harp on all year when it comes to the NFL, and my decorum this year is: weapons, weapons, weapons. Receiver weapons, tight end weapons, running back weapons, schnozzweapons, just load up the arsenal like you’re Jonah Hill and Miles Teller and it’s War Dogs season.


Patrick Mahomes makes a Vegas buffet out of Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce, but the underrated trio of Sammy Watkins, Demarcus Robinson, and Mecole Hardman is arguably as good on its own or better than the top three receivers/tight ends for the Jaguars, Jets, Eagles, Broncos, Patriots, and maybe several other offenses from 2020.


Tom Brady won a Super Bowl with Chris Godwin and Mike Evans, but in the Super Bowl Rob Gronkowski caught two touchdowns, Antonio Brown caught Brady’s other score, Cameron Brate had as many catches as Evans and Godwin combined, and Leonard Fournette had 20 touches with 125 total yards.


When the Bills acquired Stefon Diggs last offseason, it pushed every other target down a slot in Josh Allen’s josh pecking order and actually increased the value of Cole Beasley, while still allowing rookie fourth rounder Gabe Jackson to finish with 599 yards and seven touchdowns. Even John Brown had 458 yards in nine games and would’ve finished with close to 1,000 yards again.


On Saturday, the Giants finalized their agreement with receiver Kenny Golladay on a four-year, $72 million contract that should give some reassurance to other players around the league at his position that they aren’t quite as devalued as running backs yet. Prior to signing Golladay, New York was set to be average-with-potential at the skill positions, but I would say this move puts Daniel Jones in contention for having at least a top-eight supporting cast, excluding offensive line: Golladay as his first option, Sterling Shepard as arguably his second, Darius Slayton as the third, Evan Engram as the fourth, and Saquon Barkley returning to the backfield and likely still getting his targets too.



The Giants have also added tight end Kyle Rudolph and former first round pick John Ross III as further depth, while 2018 second round pick Dante Pettis has hung onto his NFL career by a thread.


New York could even take it a step further, if they wanted to draft Florida tight end/wide receiver Kyle Pitts, or they could consider taking a running back in the second round to provide insurance behind Barkley, and I wouldn’t fault them for it. While it is true that Jones hasn’t done enough to even prove himself as an adequate starter, maybe the worst case scenario for the Giants is that they have an attractive offense to pitch to a quarterback who might become available in 2022.


And we know that in these modern times, that’s looking more and more like an inevitability.


So that’s my theme and my pitch to the league, including the LA Rams: “My name is Jonah Hill or Miles Teller or Nicolas Cage (different military weapons contract movie), and I’d like to sell you some guns.”


The Rams have done the hardest part already, acquiring the slinger, but I don’t believe that they can close the book on filling out that with which he must sling to. Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp are like what my mom used to tell me when I said I was finished cleaning my room: “That’s a good start.”


Among players who are set to return to LA in 2021, Tyler Higbee has the third-most yards from last season (521), followed by Van Jefferson (220), Darrell Henderson (159), Cam Akers (123), and Johnny Mundt (53). The next two up for targets consideration were rookies who had zero opportunities last season, tight end Brycen Hopkins and receiver Trishton Jackson. Had the Rams somehow found the money for Golladay (not that I’m endorsing this, but they probably could have done this if they opted to let Leonard Floyd leave), the group takes on an entirely new identity.


But I don’t think the Rams need a new number one necessarily. I do, however, think they could use a lot more insurance at the number three and four and five spots. And it might only take one move to make that happen. The Rams can’t turn to the draft to make that happen. I’m not saying that LA couldn’t draft a receiver or tight end on day two, or that said player couldn’t be the next Gabe Davis, but he could also be the next Van Jefferson.


Which might be fine eventually, but I think the Rams could use more assurances for right now.


The Golladay signing could help move some other receiver signings forward and the LA Rams are one of only three teams to not add any outside free agents thus far in 2021. Could they make a move soon? I don’t know that anyone has fully figured out how much cap space the Rams have right now, but it’s not likely to be a lot. Given that many of these players probably didn’t sign as soon as they had hoped, it is possible that their price tags will be lower than we expect.

Rams Needs

• Sammy Watkins leads the group of remaining available receivers and he has prior familiarity with Sean McVay’s offense. Would he be interested in a reunion now that Matt Stafford is on board? Watkins, believe it or not, hasn’t turned 28 yet. He also hasn’t gained more than 700 yards in a season since 2015. But he’d be an intriguing WR3 for Stafford. Cost is difficult to project but anywhere from $2 million to $5 million seems reasonable based on recent contracts for similar receivers, not that there are many.

• Antonio Brown could quietly be the best remaining free agent overall but he’s obviously not as coveted as he was in 2019 when he forced his way out of both Pittsburgh and Oakland. He’s going to be 33, but Brown caught six touchdowns over the last six games that he was active, including playoffs. When Larry Fitzgerald was 33, he led the NFL with 107 catches and had 1,023 yards, followed by 109 and 1,156 when he was 34. Fitzgerald is a Hall of Fame talent, but so was Brown once.

• T.Y. Hilton is out here chillin. So are: DeSean Jackson, Golden Taint, Adam Humphries, Marquise Goodwin, Willie Snead, Chris Conley, Demarcus Robinson, Dez Bryant, Mohamed Sanu, Josh Gordon, Trent Taylor, and Josh Reynolds. Not a great list and I think that emphasizes the importance of monitoring where Brown and Watkins eventually sign.

• Clowney is not a pass rusher and LA already re-signed Floyd, but his run-stopping skills could be interesting in the Morgan Fox or Michael Brockers’ role. That’s only if he was willing to sign for less than $4 million and I doubt that’s happening soon.
• The Rams haven’t signed a center and Austin Blythe remains a free agent. They could be going internal at the position, they could be waiting out Blythe’s free agency. Austin Reiter remains out there too.

• The team might like Xavier Jones as someone to develop as a runner, but James White might be an interesting addition as a receiver out of the backfield. White is 29 and had 49 catches with the Patriots last season.

• There are plenty of linebackers and safeties still available, so the Rams might wait it out and see if there are some interesting veterans to add on minimum-contracts when the time comes.

• Not on this list: Adoree’ Jackson, who was released by the Titans last week. Jackson is 25 and missed most of last season. The 18th overall pick in 2017, Jackson has not contributed as much on special teams as hoped or been a very dominant cornerback. He was credited with giving up three touchdowns in only three games in 2020. His value is difficult to project and the reason fans are pining for him is because of his draft status four years ago. Not that he can’t turn it around.

 

[Merlin]

Curious what Wright is looking for in FA. Can't imagine him requiring too much effort to sign and he'd be an upgrade plus hurt Seattle's depth.

 

[Rams43]

I think that's a waste of money and cap space. Would not surprise me of course since Blythe has compromising photos of McVay or something. He has to.

So even though you may have two OL who PFF thinks win at the same rate on average because of how they grade you can have a disparity in effectiveness or risk that you encounter by playing them.

‘Hell, I’m not crazy about Blythe, either. In fact, I’m disappointed. I was willing to keep an open mind after ‘19, but now I think the jury is in. He’s just not good enough.

Problem is that the Rams’ words and actions all point toward Blythe or someone just like him. Our future long term starting C will have to come from the draft. Sigh...

 

[Mojo Ram]

All things being equal( the money) i'm adding Hilton over Watkins and i realize that Watkins fits more of a need(deep threat). For me i'll take the better receiver.
