What that extra 3rd round pick could mean…

[brucebruce]

We get 4 player comp picks and one for a coach - coaches don't count in the equation from what I have read

who are the four players that net the rams comp picks?

But not in the same year.

One this year, the other in 2025.

Ah, thanks for the clarification.

Here are some players currently ranked between 90 and 110 among 2024 draft prospects by PFF and/or CBS. One of these players could potentially be a guy the Rams might be able to select as a result of Raheem Morris’ hiring by the Falcons (which gives us an extra selection at pick 100 or 101):

Blake Corum, RB, Michigan
Spencer Rattler, QB, South Carolina
Cooper Beebe, OG, Kansas State
Sedrick Van Pran, C, Georgia
Cade Stover, TE, Ohio State
Marshawn Lloyd, RB, USC
Jaylan Ford, LB, Texas
Junior Colson, LB, Michigan

This is, of course, a very preliminary sampling, but it really illustrates how valuable the extra pick could be.

Maybe not Kansas, but K-State? Sure.

Question for everyone - would you trade for him knowing we would have to give up a lot of picks for him?

Josh Allen sounds nice but I want some studs on rookie contracts (I'm greedy). If we're going to spend money on FAs, I would rather not give up a draft picks in addition to a large contract.

There's not a lot of pass rush depth in this draft. Unless you get one early, you're gonna be disappointed. We really need to grab a vet if we can and look for a pass rush specialist late. Otherwise, we'd need to trade up in the 1st for an impact edge. (I'm not completely opposed to that.)

The class looks to be slammed with top WRs, top heavy at tackle, good QBs at the top and some decent depth, meh edge rushers outside the top few, good mid-tier corners and absolute crap at RB.

who are the four players that net the rams comp picks?

Mayfield - 5th
Matt Gay - 6th
Nick Scott - 6th
Ashawn Robinson - 6th

It's notable that they show that:
Gay is borderline 5th/6th
Robinson is borderline 6th/7th

So it's possible they could surprise one way or another.

Greg Gaines factored in to the picks as well

He fell out of the equation. His contract wasn't big enough.

I also see the Nick Scott pick slid down a bit. I guess Reed may have earned some incentives to move that pick up. Scott wasn't that close to a 7th previously.

What about this year’s crop of free agent vets? Are there quality guys we can throw money at without trading?

Still crazy-early but right now, I agree that CB looks deep but not too sure about Edge.

After Latu, Turner, Verse, Chop Johnson and Trice, there may be a big drop-off. Any other guys you really like?

I would take Chris Braswell from Alabama over Trice from Washington and Robinson from Penn St.
