Man we got some good guys on this team. Skill wise and personality wise. Glad we draft smart now.
I really feel Van is going to be something like Bruce, maybe not exactly, but along those lines.
What? You didn't like Jeff Fisher's methods of sacrificing character for athleticism?
we really need to keep JR on the team, because if any 1 of our stud WR's goes on the 'Rona IR, we need depth. The team with the most depth in the most position groups will have the edge this year. JR gives us nice depth, watch his tape, he runs routes well too & has a nice jump ball.
Since it’s not being reported, how do you know that Josh is dropping passes, especially since no visitors is allowed on site?What isn't being reported is Josh continues to drop passes. That said it's clear Josh has improved his route running. He's more decisive than in previous years which is good. He's growing, but is it enough? This is where the lack of preseason games or scrimmages against other teams hurts the evaluation and development. Because of Covid 19 they will keep him for depth. But beyond this season I don't see it. They have Ramsey and Kupp to extend and with Jefferson, and now Webster making an impact I think Josh is looking at a numbers release. Too bad because like Everett, the Rams simply developed a player for another team. But that is the price you pay when you have a loaded roster. Working against Josh are rookies like Edwards and Koski both who are showing up in camp. Koski is an interesting prospect and shows just how deep this last draft was in WRs. Though he timed in 4.54 range he plays faster more akin to the 4.4 range which is excellent for a man who is 6'1" 186 lbs. Playing at Cal Poly SLO is what dropped him nationally in the draft. As a small school product he's a bit raw but not overly so. The Ram's WR room is abolutely loaded. Josh carries a $2.2M cap but only a $162K dead cap.
Safety and CB are two other positions where they are stacked. Nick Scott who has a ton of potential, simply lacking coaching and reps at a single position (safety) is coming along as well. With Johnson, Rapp, Burgess, Fuller, now Scott and the return of Gervase thats real depth. CB they have Ramsey, Long, Williams, Deayon, Burgess, and Hill it's obvious even if Hill is kept on the team this year he won't be next year. Hill's cap number and the play of Williams and the drafting of Burgess have made him expendable. He carries a $4.4M cap charge with only a $500K dead cap which is too much for a non-starter. He needs to clearly beat out Long, Williams, and Burgess to stay on this team and I don't see him doing it.
Look at it another way. Releasing or trading Hill and Reynolds clears almost $6M in cap. For a team as close to the cap as the Rams are it's something that will be in the equation. The flipside is that allowing them to walk next year potentially brings them compensatory picks something Snead covets though there is no guarantee they will get them.

Nice comment on Clayton, I liked him - he also had one of those photo memories & could line up the other WR's on a play. He had a nice dig route that was open a lot. He'd be a good WR coach, wonder what he's doing.I give you Lloyd and Britt, but Clayton?
I like Reynolds, but Clayton? I dunno. It's not a hill to die on or anything, but I think there's some recency bias wrt Reynolds.
I said not much better, or something to that effect.I give you Lloyd and Britt, but Clayton?
