    ๐—ง๐—ฅ๐—˜๐—ก๐——๐—œ๐—ก๐—š>: NFL Insider Albert Breer says heโ€™s leaning towards a Maxx Crosby trade happening, even as soon as this week.

    โ€œIโ€™d lean toward a Maxx Crosby trade happening, and maybe this week…with teams like Dallas, Chicago, Baltimore, Buffalo, New England, Philadelphia and the Rams keeping tabs on his availability.โ€

    NFC is indeed loaded. And thats ‘before’ the draft and free agency.

    I do not wanna see Max Crosby become an Eagle or Bear. Stay in the AFC, MaXX.
    And whats with the two XXs ?

    #Rams Secondary were bad for 2 months straight. Pleasant was responsible for that group, plus his Game Planning as Pass Coordinator.

    Failures from that group are why Rams aren’t Superbowl Champions right now.

    Also, this will be the 2nd time Pleasant has been Fired. Lions let him go mid-season after the disaster job he did with them in 2022 as Pass Game Coordinator & DB Coach.

    Wow. Well that explains the pleasant thing.

    Special teams and Secondary.

    McVay on Aubrey Pleasant: “…just felt like it was going to be in the best interest of both parties to be able to move on. “

    In other words… the definitive answer to the question about Pleasant is, “we”re sorry but there is no one here at this time to take your call.”

    Yeah, but what changed? He left the Rams, and was hired back. Worked for them 7 out of 9 years.

    After 7 years, it’s suddenly, “Well, we just thought it would be better for all of us if we started dating other people.”

    The Rams have avoided a “collapse” despite trading so many high picks for a number of reasons.

    1. The players they’ve traded for have made the expected impact, especially Matthew Stafford.

    2. Sean McVay is awesome.

    3. They have made the 3rd most total picks in the NFL over the last 5 years. F*** them picks though.

    4. THEY HAVE HIT ON DRAFT PICKS. Since 2022:
    – WR Puka Nacua R5
    – G Steve Avila R2
    – RT Warren McLendon R5
    – RB Kyren Williams R5
    – DL Braden Fiske R2
    – DL Kobie Turner R3
    – EDGE Byron Young R3
    – EDGE Jared Verse R1
    – SAF Kam Kinchens R3
    – DB Quentin Lake R6
    – CB Cobie Durant R4
    – P Ethan Evans R7

    – Not to mention LT Alaric Jackson and LB Omar Speights were meaningful UDFAs
    – 2025 picks like TE Terrance Ferguson and EDGE Josiah Stewart are also both very promising.

    Have there been misses? Absolutely. But the volume of picks has mattered, and the collapse hasn’t been avoided because they have neglected key young players. They are experts at finding them and implementing them.

    This is the 9th time since 2017 that the Rams have traded their first round pick.

    The only player drafted was Jared Verse

    Rams Wire@TheRamsWire
    The Rams have used just one first-round pick since 2017, five fewer than every other team in the NFL.

    McDuffie’s knee injury last was just a sprain–not an issue

    plays outside mostly but was slot in 2023–good versatility…

    good man defender, could put him on boundary and leave him there….expensive but fills biggest need with proven player

    Early on, folk though answer was Forbes and Spoon. They are just not quite it. McDuffie and a draft pick will do wonders. All this given the Rams were almost in Sb this year with so-so CBs

    Trent McDuffie and Roger McCreary can both play inside and outside, holdovers, like Durant can play field side …not sure if Rams bring back too many holdovers, but Lake, too, can be a slot … drafting a top CB would be ideal at 13, if someone falls.
