T.J. McDonald is likely done with the Rams, but they have a guy on the roster that could replace him

McVay is going to enjoy his first draft where he has the majority of the pull. It should be awesome
Snead & his scout team know there stuff. I think they do an excellent job late in the draft.
Say what you want ?? I still have hope for Higbee,Hemingway,Thomas, & especially COPPER !! Talk about some YAC in McVay's system. We are talking Tavon but bigger & better hands who is hard to bring down. Speed is in question.

I just hope we don't draft Cooper Kupp. Would be a wasted pick he's basically Spruce.

With the way he showed at Combine, I don't think he's even in our range to get drafted. I seriously think we're going to draft a WR in the 2nd... and I seriously doubt Kupp is 2nd round pedigree after Combine.

I hope we draft either JuJu, Zay Jones, or Godwin ... (I would say Ross, but he's going to be a 1st rounder, I just know it!)

I fully expected TJ to be gone as soon as the season was over. We need to save our capital for more important, well-rounded players. Mo will move over and Randolph or a cheap vet will man the FS spot while we focus our attention to key additions on O.

Very logical vision. That's how I feel. Allocate the resources to fix your 32nd ranked defense. I don't think we need all star players on defense. Wade can get the best of most of these.

JuJu! Here's a quick video for the JuJu to the Rams hype to get started. https://www.profootballfocus.com/dr...ocial&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=nfl

Agree -- what about the RB out of Stanford ??

Kupp has trouble seperating from DB's.
I guess to me it comes down to value picks.

Not sure that is 100% right , but ok .

I do know Jake was pounding the table hard last year with Randolph & knew he was going this direction. If he didn't Inwould have Been disappointed .

Hard Knocks went inside on the play a little. Was sad he hurt himself on like first kickoff.
YES! Yes I was! Glad someone remembers.

I like Adore Jackson better . He is fun to watch. JuJu always seems to get hurt, but babe great plays & then he is right back in the field. I like his size, but afraid he might be injury prone at the next level.---You know the drill , bigger faster..??? If The Rams don't sign a FA WR then I say for sure. Draft JuJu

I like McCaffrey. He imo is a WR. I would draft him as such.

They will likely sign Garcon or Woods I think.

If it's wrong, I'd like someone to let me know. That's the way I remember it. I don't think it's as simple as people are making it sound, there's a lot that goes into the evaluation of a player and Wade can't see if he meets those because of his lack of playing time and inability to meet with him early.

He would make a stellar slot receiver and use him outside a but. And could use him as a rb 5 plays a game to keep the defense wondering. Him and the Patriots are a match made in heaven imo.

Can you imagine a much faster, equal hands, better vision, better runner, tougher, slightly bigger younger version of a 31 yr old Julian Edelman. It would not surprise me if the New England Pats select McCaffrey to learn Julian Edelman spot on that offense to go with Brady:palm:

They will likely watch him workout in the off-season but mostly tennessee tape.

Yes, but I have some sources that give me reason to believe that Brandon Marshall will in fact be a Patriot. Yikes!

I actually like him with the Rams. I don't see it though. I think JuJu is a destined Ram in the second.

I'm with you on this Brian Randolph matter, Jake.

I'm a pretty big Randolph honk, myself.

If his knee is recovered, he could well be our FS for a few years. Years that we can devote to improving our roster at other positions.

Don't fret. I think the doubters will soon come around to our way of thinking.

On a related matter, there are at least 3 (and maybe 5) current Rams that the doctors must be right about as the FO plans their FA and draft strategy...

Quinn
Gaines
Randolph
Havenstein
Higbee

All 5 of these players MIGHT be quality starters under the new regime IF they can be considered healthy. I can't overstate the importance of the docs being right about their respective health situations.

I suppose that FA and the draft will give us strong clues as to the doctors' respective health assessments.

not really worried about the whole safety position tbh. Wade helped mold Darian Stewart into an pro-bowl safety, so I think itll all work itself out
