    I have been thinking of this. DE is a possibility, the Rams released Chris Long, Robert Quinn is coming off a major injury, and not sure how healthy he will be, so Shaq Lawson is a possibility. OLB. With Olgetree moving to the MLB spot, I would not be shocked if Myles Jack ends up being the pick, if he slides. Bates is gone, and we are thin at OLB. CB as well, Vernon Hargraves, and Mackenzie Alexander are possibilities as well, with the loss of Janoris Jenkins. I’m just saying, it, that there is no guarantee we will draft offense, early.

    I agree they could go defense in round 1, especially DE or CB. But why would they spend a 1st round pick on DEPTH at LB? They have Barron (who cost them a pretty penny) and they have a 1st round pick at MLB (Ogletree) and they have a SLB (Ayers), and the way they play, the SLB is only on the field less than 50% of the time. Why then spend a 1st on a linebacker? They’re set at LB. They could use that 1st round pick on any number of things they actually DO need.

    I counts on how their charts are. Myles Jack could be there if they feel somehow, Fisher and Snead had him higher value, or going higher than expected. Also, you don’t pass on a player, knowing it could be a strength. So, if Jack is there, and he is rated high on their draft boards, does not mean, they should or should not select him.

    i agree. if jack were to fall to #15, they would pick him.

    of course. that’ll never happen. but yeah. if jack were to fall to #15, the rams would almost have to pick him. the guy is an absolute stud. and might be a top 5 talent.
