We all know the lesser teams always rob the big winning teams in Free Agency if they have the chance.....well the Rams are a wining team with outstanding young players & they have permitted this large group of 2018 FA's available. Its just happens the Rams have a serious large amount of starters & key reserves involved in Free Agency. I counted 8 starters the last tine I checked....

When the Rams have both their current starting CB's will soon be UFA's.....our top Nickle & starting safety will be a UFA....our 3rd top safety will be a UFA. Our current 3rd corner will also be involved in FA'cy.....

Rams currently have zero in future talented OL'ers depth wise on top of that they have 1 starting OC & 2 reserve OT' s involved in Free Agency to make the point even more dire 3 starting OL'ers will be UFA's the following March. Our starting LT is already 36 yr old.

One would think that we should just stop there this alone will drive most Ram fans to just sit back & enjoy the ride this season because after this one concludes things take the Rams Org into stormy rough seas where this team will suffer some good amount of damage with very little in reserve waiting..

My main wishes:

Rams UFA's
#1-DB Lamarcus Joyner Nickle/Saf
#2-DB NR-C Corner/Nickle
#3-OC John Sullivan
#4-NT Tyrunn Walker

Non Ram UFA's
OC/OG Spencer Long
OG/RT Justin Pugh
Draft a talented LT

I got it covered. When teams call on our FAs they are redirected to my cell where I tell them "he is not the free agent you're looking for" problem solved.

 

[OldSchool]

DT/NG Vita Vea round one and CB Isiah Oliver in round three would be good for the draft along with a free agent at CB not breaking the bank.

Good luck with Oliver in the third

 

[Legatron4]

Can we please get Ryan Groy this time.

 

[Ramhusker]

It's nice to only be thinking of about 3 additions to solidify our team. My wish list includes a run stuffing DL and LB, a shutdown CB, and an OT to develop. We are really good at QB, RB, WR, TE, S, K, P, KR, PR, and LS. Man that feels good!

 

[Memento]

Re-sign Joyner, NRC, McQuaide, and Watkins.

Sign Donald to a long extension.

Sign Weston Richburg and Malcolm Butler - along with other assorted pieces to help our team - in free agency.

Trade Mannion to the Jets for a second round pick.

Draft Mike McGlinchey (LT, Notre Dame) with our first round pick.

Draft Da'Ron Payne (NT, Alabama) with our second round pick from the Jets.

That's my wish-list.

 

[Ramhusker]

Are we in line to get any Compensatory picks?

 

[Adi]

First they need to give new deals to AD, Sammy, Joyner, NRC, and keep the O line together

Need depth at corner, doubt they keep TRU unless he takes a big pay cut.

I see some concerns at MLB but both tree and barron are locked up for a few more years , maybe adding a big body in the middle of the linw would take away the need for a line backer.

Where did I her a pick from the Jets from?

 

[Memento]

Where did I her a pick from the Jets from?

For Mannion. Let's face it: the Jets have nothing at quarterback. Josh McCown, Bryce Petty, Christian Hackenburg? Not exactly a murder's row. Mannion will be valuable because of being under McVay. The Jets will likely be without a quarterback at the draft because all of the good ones are being projected to go in the top nine.

Just saying, Mannion could easily return a second round pick from a team that needs a quarterback.

We have a strong receiving group---last year's greatest weakness has become this season's greatest strength. We need a CB group to match. This way our fly guys get challenged greatly in practice, and our CBs & safeties get pushed to their limits . . . strengthening both groups. We need more guys to attack the offensive backfield from the LB and DL positions to raise our D to a dominant level.

On the offensive side of the rock, we need to find out what we have in Sean Mannion. I would love to believe our QB-savvy coaches already know to a certain extent, but Sean has never had to carry this team before. We need adequate backups in case the unthinkable occurs.

Cooper Kupp has actually lived with Jared and those two have been sharing the rock in practice drills for quite some time now. When Robert Woods came over from Buffalo, his first thought after his hello's was to find Jared and start practicing. Unfortunately, Sammy was acquired late and did not get the early time that Cooper & Robert enjoyed to establish an early rapport with our signal caller. I know he stated he would have the offense down in a few weeks, but you have to understand who is talking here. You have a receiver who was drafted by the Buffalo Bills, a team with a dominant run game and a poverty-poor passing attack, relatively speaking. Learning the Bills scanty passing offense in a few weeks is one thing: learning Sean McVay's richly detailed passing schemes is another. I still hope to see a breakout game from Sammy this season, even if it has to happen in the playoffs. However, his best Horns games may very well lie in future seasons.

We have to continue to strengthen our OL. We do not only have to worry about replacing Andrew Whitworth eventually, we always have to mindful of Beetlejuice's injury history and have a solid backup guard ready to roll at a moment's notice. Besides, we simply need quality backups, period! Jared and Todd's success is predicated on having Battering Ram OL pieces to smash annoying defenders out of the damn way. In particular, we need OL guys capable of competing with our DL/LB pieces. This way, we strengthen both groups in practice before we turn them loose on the rest of the NFL.

Whether Tavon is retained is anyone's guess . . . it may come down to how well he acquits himself as a weapon/decoy in the remaining games and the playoffs. His hands are not good enough to truly be a core member of our receiving group. His body is not tough enough to be a feature RB. He remains a tantalizing luxury talent that has not exploded enough against opponents as yet to deserve his luxury salary---one of The Fisher King's curses.

Our mostly young TE group has displayed growth over the season, but needs to get stronger & tougher over the off season. Temarrick Hemingway must bounce back from injury to contribute going forward as Sean has every intention of making our TE group fully relevant again. Derek Carrier did a nice job of leading early but appears to have less overall talent than our young 'uns at TE. Whether he is retained going forward shall be seen.

On special teams, we have Johnny, we have The Leg, and we have Jake Mcquaide . . . it's like having manna from heaven---the best damn special teams battery in the league, bar none! The Fisher King reminds us it's partly a blessing from him too. Pharoh Cooper has done extremely well taking over for Tavon. He lacks our Little Big Man's electric speed & quickness, but compensates with greater strength and greater northward bound direction finding tendencies. Mike Thomas figures to be in the mix, possibly as a backup returner, possibly as our future KR lead guy with his greater speed over Pharoh.

Haven't looked at anything posted so far. But my wish list for next year is players wanting to repeat as champions....

 

[Corbin]

Córner,
Córner
A beast ass SS.
OL depth or starter.
And re signs.

 

[SteveBrown]

Alex O is a pretty good pass rusher from the ILB, but he can't take on OTs as a OLB....Barron stays, and they just signed ALec....so those 2 guys will remain.

We will get a big, fat,semi-cheap vet NT and we will be fine.

Then we sign a top free agent CB, and draft a CB in the 3rd
We draft a OLT in the 1st and then he plays RT, or learns undeneath Whit til injuries do us part.

Ya, I hope we sign a edge rusher, too.....Quinn might have a huge end of the year, so maybe we keep him, but I doubt it.
I do think we take a late round flier on a TE with deep speed.
We will draft a guard, for depth, in the 4th.

Or,not....who knows, but McVay does.

Hmmmm,a SS. Yes, we don't have one on the roster. JJ is really a FS, playing SS---actually just like Johnny Johnson did in the 80s....and that is why in 1981, through 12 games the Rams had the #1 pass D....it is agood formula in these days---faster, undersized guys at LB (Jones in Atl, Barron, Buchannon in AZ and more to come) and then put in 2 FSs so you can stop the pass....yep it costs you run stopping...JJ is not tough, that is for sure....not TJ Ward, tough....

And,you can find one of those guys in the 5th round as depth....and help on 1st downs, maybe.

 

[Mojo Ram]

I'm with most of you, a defensive heavy offseason. Cut costs with vets like Barwin, Quinn. Hopefully get Easley and Tru back. Try to add some elite talent at CB, OLB, ILB or NT.

Wade needs his pieces.

 

[OldSchool]

Can we please get Ryan Groy this time.

Only if Buffalo cuts him, we offered him a 2 year $5 million deal they matched.

 

[Mackeyser]

Re-sign Joyner, NRC, McQuaide, and Watkins.

That's my wish-list.

If you get your wish, we’ll be set up to be a dynasty because that’s a crazy amount of talent

 

[ausmurp]

I believe we are fine at ILB. The biggest neat to me is a true 34 NT. That would eat up blocks and allow out ILBs to free up. See the Steelers as a perfect example of how this works. Shazier is smaller than our ILBs..

1. Resign Saffold he's been the best LG in the NFL this yr. Sign Donald long term.

2. NT hopefully a good one in FA.

3. 34 OLBs multiple. I think both our current starters are done. Get one in FA and draft one.

4. CB for sure. I would exchange Talib for TruJo straight up so if Talib is in FA grab him and let TruJo walk. Draft one early too.

5. OL depth. Gotta keep the OL in great shape so this O continues to flourish.
