camp body - but the Rams need somebody in case of an injury knocking somebody out for a few days. Was one of the top QBs in the AAF - but that's not saying a lot. Can run a little.
I still expect the Rams to draft a QB to develop.
No Freaking way !!! Since when have The Rams done that ???? Mannion ??
I’d be floored if they did !! Gilbert still in the league. Not a bad pick by Snead from smu if I recall right.
If the Rams trade down, I wouldn't be shocked if a 4th was used on a QB that McVay likes
The Rams had Mannion and were building up the team. Since then though decent vet backup QBs salaries have skyrocketed - unless you luck out and have their old team be paying them a large amount. That's unlikely to happen again. If the right guy falls to the Rams I expect McVay preferring to develop him than need to pay somebody big money from 2020-2022. And have a chance of getting a better comp pick back than the Rams used to get the guy in the first place.
Gilbert looked good in the AAF. Before that he has bounced all over the NFL, mostly on practice squads. He didn't even last a full season on the Rams practice squad.

I would be, they really should not waste a pick on a QB or WR in this draft. Maybe this guy will be the next rags to riches story,(Kurt Warner anyone).
When you see a sign like Wolford you can cross that off your Xmas list. You got what you got. It’s a tell that he is a better option than anyone The Rams can get late in the draft.
Will can reproach this come end of The month.Being only 2 plus weeks away (3)
Well, no, it's a tell that they want a camp arm or two. Signing somebody to a rookie contract with likely a minimal signing bonus does not preclude taking a real prospect in the draft. Keep in mind that Wolford was a UDFA last year who was cut and not signed to any practice squad all season. He was not one of the highly pursued AAF free agents either. Multiple other AAF QBs have been signed before him. Heck - Luis Perez who was not stellar in the Rams' camp last year was signed before him. He's an arm - and teams will always look at deep depth there, just in case. Maybe he's greatly improved in a year - but I doubt the Rams are gambling that's the case.
And maybe nobody that McVay has his eye on will fall to the Rams - that happens. Maybe when it comes up, somebody at another position that McVay loves will be available and a serious bargain. But the Rams have interviewed at least 4 qbs, all of whom are likely to be better than Wolford. There are likely others that haven't been reported (i.e., the Rams went to their pro day, but not reported that the Rams spoke to the QB, which is not always public).
And what is the fun in waiting until after the Rams' draft to discuss options?
The big difference is Mannion was not picked by McVay.No Freaking way !!! Since when have The Rams done that ???? Mannion ??
