Whatever we do at pass catcher, we could not play well against man coverage all year.

We most likely need a jump ball winner or a speed guy at WR; failing that, an A+ pass catching RB or a TE who can consistently line up at the boundary could help.
I think both, Jump ball guy and speed guy….maybe more physical than Tutu.

Lord I don't ask you for a lot, make this happen! (Nabors tweet)

EDIT - after looking at his timeline, he had 9 and 10 on 2/4. Now he's just tweeting 9. Could be Rams trading Kupp to Giants.

That would be great but the Giants would want a lot imo. Nabors was a top five pick with four years of control.

The Giants likely would want two firsts and more, + Kupp

I'm going to be Debbie Downer. The Rams are not getting Higgins. He will cost two much. He and his agent are likely looking at teams with a QB (Stafford's abilities but younger) who is young and will be together for the long term. JMO before the hate reigns down me.

Ummm ...

Nabers is suggesting Stafford TO the Giants ... Not the other way around.
That's exactly what I thought, Nabers ain't coming to the Rams.

You never know what’s on the Rams mind. McVay might get to pick a WR first and keep everybody else he has or they might be trying to get pieces in order to go after their target. It’ll probably surprise us though.

I've just read through about a dozen different articles on Wilson's reported demands. All I can find is an athletic team reporter saying Wilson told him he wouldn't stick around long term if things didn't get better.

View attachment 69705
I've yet to read anything quoting him or a video with him saying this it all seems to be alleged private conversations behind closed doors and the team supposedly worried he'll maybe possibly ask for a trade.

What I read from that Rosenblatt comment sounds like he wouldn't sign a 2nd contract with the Jets. I just haven't seen anything with him actually saying he wants a trade just that he wants the team to be better or he won't stick around long term.
I’ve heard him on wfan being disgruntled. This is not new info. There’s been plenty of local press and discussions.
Will he be traded? Don’t know. Would it surprise me based on his attitude and pending contract extension? Not one bit

Cool like I said I tried to find what he said or any video/audio and found absolutely nothing but that speculation and rumor that I'd posted.

Fair point, just like the speed element. Not quite up to date on the available back in the draft.
Nah no worries. There's a lot of backs available in this draft. We should be able to nab a good one this year to add to our running back room.

If I had a nickel for every time I’ve heard this said with this front office…..

Wouldnt be a Debbie downer to me. I dont see the upside in the guy who is injury prone, and has had the luxury of playing with Chase who draws the double coverage. He's a decent receiver but no way is he a 25-30 mill per year guy.
I'd take a chance on Godwin way before I'd take a chance on him.
And Godwin would only be on an injury flyer type deal

That could be. I assumed after looking at his timeline, he was basically saying there won't be anymore 9 to 10 on the Rams. I suppose #3 is solid compensation for Stafford. ;)

Blue font?

Whoever we pick at number three won't be as good as Stafford... ever. There isn't a real blue chip QB in this year's draft.

I'd take next year's first as well for Stafford, though. Might be able to get Arch Manning, who does look a genuine franchise QB, then.
