from 2020 NFL Power Rankings: 1-32 poll, plus post-draft winners for every team
https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/29119922/2020-nfl-power-rankings-1-32-poll-plus-post-draft-winners-every-team#LAR

7. Los Angeles Rams

Post-free-agency ranking: 17

Player who benefited: QB Jared Goff. The Rams moved on from two key players when they released running back Todd Gurley and traded receiver Brandin Cooks. Gurley was Goff’s every-down back, and Cooks was the speedy deep threat who stretched a defense. But with their first two picks in the draft, both in the second round, the Rams selected Florida State RB Cam Akers and Florida WR Van Jefferson. The team also picked up tight end Brycen Hopkins in the fourth round. They are expected to contribute as rookies, and their addition ensures that Goff will again have a full arsenal of playmakers. — Lindsey Thiry

@Rich_Hammond is the absolute best and sets the bar SO high – I am seriously lucky to be working with him!! We have some really, really fun stuff in the works for you all over the next couple months. Looking forward to getting to know everybody better!

Couple early takeaways from this (still getting my feet wet so pardon if any redundancy)
– Love that the data/analytics office is nicknamed “Nerds Nest” (also…WOW! An analytics office! Panthers fans will get this.)
– Snead doing scouting meetings from his Peloton – LOL
– When scouts and regional directors show such conviction on a single prospect in a specific round either for the positive or the negative, most GMs sit up and seriously listen (re. Akers-in-the-second-round conversation).

Blythe more than anyone is responsible for the o-line’s turnaround last season when he moved to center.

I think Blythe is a below average guard but an average center. I think we’d be okay if he started at center this year.
