Billy_TParticipantGreat pass by Goff. Can’t get better than that. He doesn’t have quite the arm talent of Stafford, but I don’t think there’s a big gap between the two overall.
Not a fan of the Lions. But I do want to see Goff do well.
Interesting about the DB who got burned on that play: Zyon McCollum. Bucs got him in the 5th, and I was ticked that the Rams didn’t take a flier on him. He had one of the best Combines, evah, for a DB. If they were to create a corner in a lab, they’d make him pretty close to McCollum, but with longer arms and bigger hands, perhaps.

(3.35 m)15 reps He’s a backup for the Bucs, so it looks like he hasn’t translated his freakish athleticism to Sundays in the NFL yet. Another reminder that it’s never automatically going to happen. He may never rise above backup. But his height, speed, explosion, and quicks are just off the charts, at least on paper.
Billy_TParticipantGood sign for Morris. A second interview probably means it’s gone beyond just going through the motions.
He’s a good coach, but I think the Rams can find his replacement, and his departure means extra 3rd rounders this year and next. Good for his career, and the Rams, etc.
Billy_TParticipantThe above changes, of course, if the Rams make miracles happen and sign Brian Burns. He gives them a top-flight edge, age 26 for the next season, so they can focus elsewhere. IMO, he should be their top priority. Also, I’m hoping they target young, ascending free agents, instead of older, one-year signings. Guys they can sign for at least three years during their peaks. Obviously, corners, safeties, a tight end, tackle, center. If they don’t draft a running back, they need to find help for Williams, via FA, and he needs to keep the offense humming at the same clip. No let down, etc.
The NFL is a harsh world, but I’d cut Noteboom, Allen, Long, and Kendrick, post-June, to free up roughly 25 million.
But that’s tricky stuff, of course — the pre- and post-June cuts — cuz of timing, with FA starting in March. Their savings go way up, especially for Noteboom, but they need the cap space before June. So, they might not be able to wait. Have never been a Cap guy, so just tossing stuff around here.
Anyway, they don’t really have enough room to splurge on more than one or two guys, at least not without those key cuts, and the timing doesn’t work in their favor for the initial wave, which Burns will most certainly be in (if he’s not tagged).

I think the Rams need a tackle, but the draft fell in a different way for me. I prioritized two freakishly athletic skill players, Brenden Rice and Braelon Allen, instead. Rice has the potential to be a true #1 receiver, with crazy speed and good size. He’s the perfect 1b to Puka’s 1a. Allen is Derrick Harvey-size, but faster, and just 21 for his rookie year.
It’s more fun to have a host of draft picks, cuz I wanted to fill all the Rams needs plus backups. But that’s not going to happen. So a more realistic way to go is to maximize at least the first three or four picks, and hope for some hidden gems later.
*Hoping the Baker Mayfield comp turns into a 5th, and Morris is hired as HC. That gives the Rams two more shots.
Billy_TParticipantWhy the difference? I have a theory. I think that either McVay or the defensive coordinator or both get too involved in the 2nd round. They see favorites they want. (2 picks that perfectly illustrate that—Everett and Atwell).Then after the 2nd round their favorites matter less and the personnel staff dominates the discussions and choices. It’s an old complaint of mine–coaches can’t scout. But then if your head coach has a favorite in round 2, who has the authority to back him down? HOPEFULLY the Avila pick is a sign of things to come and they improve a lot with the high picks (1 and 2) and improve a little in round 3 too, while also still being way way above average with the lower picks.
All of that makes sense. Good theory.
I’d bet the scouts groaned when Atwell was selected that early. They probably saw him as a good late-round addition, if available. Plus, you can generally find tiny, speedy receivers after the draft, and the Rams have in the past. Have forgotten his name, but they picked up a kid from James Madison a couple years ago who ran a sub-4.3 forty. About Tu Tu’s size. A bit heavier. They’re always there for the taking.
The NFL is all about mismatches. The guys who scare DCs to death are typically going to be too big, too fast, and too strong for the relevant D positions to handle. Exceptions, of course. But in general. So if I’m using an early pick on a receiver, which I’m generally reluctant to do, it’s got to be one of those mismatch guys. They need to have all the traits, plus intangibles, or I go with a position of true need instead, and preferably one that impacts every play. That wasn’t Tu Tu. Again, he was a luxury pick, for a seriously stacked roster.
Anyway, I think McVay has grown a great deal since then, and the Rams are on the upswing. I like their chances in 2024 and beyond.
Billy_TParticipantLotsa what ifs to deal with, but aside from the glaring need to fix Special Teams, DBs, and passrush . . . I think they still need to get a home game for a successful playoff run. The Detroit game was case in point. The Lions don’t win that tight match if the game is in LA. Not that SoFi gives them the kind of home field advantage that other teams enjoy. Too many fans from the other side show up, typically. But it at least eliminates a deafening crowd roaring against the Rams, which they had in Detroit. Apparently, it screwed up communications to Stafford several times.
Anyway, immediate needs for this offseason: two corners, two safeties, at least one edge, running back, TE, and a bigger receiver to replace Robinson. Longer term: LT, guard, center, DT, QB.
Billy_TParticipantTu Tu has exceeded expectations, but it was still a terrible pick. He’s a luxury guy, for a team with no other holes to fill, and the Rams had plenty before that draft. Again, Creed Humphreys, the KC center, should have been the pick, and he was just about the consensus guy for the fanbase going into that round.
Water over the dam, and all of that, but it was just a self-indulgent choice.
The Rams have put together a really good coaching staff, but, with the exception of this past draft class, they’ve missed on too many draft picks. If they can repeat the performance of the last group going forward, the Rams are in great shape in 2024 and beyond. I trust them to be able to coach up hidden gem types, and maximize high picks. I’m just hoping they focus on needs and do the near-impossible: score need/BPA combos throughout, with an emphasis on elite athleticism.
Billy_TParticipantInvader,
It is weird. Now click on his name, over there on the left, next to his pic.
It will say 23.
Quite the mystery. Where is The Thin Man when you need him?
Billy_TParticipantTook the quiz, and didn’t do so well. Was difficult to know if the images were real or AI generated. I looked chiefly for impossible symmetries, but that didn’t seem to help all that much.
Billy_TParticipantI wouldn’t spend an early pick on TE, either. But they should use one of their 5th or 6th rounders, IMO.
Personal preference would be for a true TE type, not an H-back. So someone at least 6’4,” 250. Good blocker, solid hands, some speed.
Draft boards will shift a dozen times before the big day, but a way-too-early look at (possible) late-rounders to watch for:
Dallin Holker, Colorado State
Ben Sinnott, Kansas State
Theo Johnson, Penn State
Trey Knox, South CarolinaSoon after the Combine, sports media will make things easier for us by compiling lists of small college standouts, too. Folks we likely didn’t get a chance to see at all on TV, but pundits did, etc. That will change things yet again. I’ve always liked the idea of rolling the dice on small college players late in the draft. I’d generally rather take a size/speed wonderkind from Western Apple Valley State than a smaller, lesser athlete from Georgia, Michigan, Notre Dame, etc.
Billy_TParticipantNo worries, ZN.
The longest post works. Thanks.
Billy_TParticipantSpeaking of age: Nacua is listed as 23 on the official Rams site, but 22 elsewhere. Wiki has him with a 2001 DOB and 22. A few other sites do as well. Weird that they can’t get a consensus age for players.
he’s listed as 22 on the official website. it might not be the worst idea to trade down. just add volume and see what sticks. i would like to see them make one major fa signing outside bringing their own players back – preferably a pass rusher.
I may be mistaken in considering this site “official,” but it’s the one that lists him as 23. No big deal, one way or another. But in my nerdy way, 22 seems better than 23, when it comes to finite peak years/contracts, etc.
https://www.therams.com/team/players-roster/puka-nacua/
Have been playing around more with the Mock simulator. It was giving me too many ridiculously good trade offers, so I stopped using them. Did manual trades instead, and stuck to the old value chart. No way to really get all the spots upgraded that need ’em. So it’s gotta be triage. I’m probably on the same page as most fans in putting corner, edge, tackle at the top, but the Rams need another receiver and running back, too, plug a big, athletic guard to play opposite Avila, if they can’t re-sign Dotson.
If I had the picks, I’d double up on corner, edge, safety, and guard, and make sure I found a legit starting LT. Also want a hogmolly at DT. This draft is deep in freakishly athletic D-linemen, wideouts, and corners, especially. So far, looks weak on tight ends, which the Rams need too.
Billy_TParticipantHope Higbee can be healthy before the start of next season. Fortunately the Rams have some nice depth at TE. I don’t buy the defender’s claim he wasn’t trying to hurt Higbee. He has a history of this. You can’t outlaw all hits below the waist (can you imagine trying to tackle a guy like Earl Campbell if you couldn’t hit him below the waist?) but the NFL should outlaw hits directly to the knees.
Looked like he speared him. That should be outlawed, regardless of where, when, who, how, etc. No leading with the helmet, ever, period. The physics of this tells us that a shoulder/arm/wrap-up tackle, on the same part of the body, just isn’t going to cause as much damage, if any.
Billy_TParticipantToo early to get solid reporting on player intangibles, so the tie-breakers for me tend to be age, size, (estimated and recorded) athleticism, and being on Bruce Feldman’s “freaks” list. If players are rated roughly in the same block, I’m gonna take the youngest, biggest, freakiest athletes available.
(I’m also swayed by the potential of “value.” Finding a player late who was rated much higher, for instance.)
A good thing about Feldman’s list is he usually includes GPS data, plus stuff you really can’t “train” for at the last second, like strength metrics. It takes time and tenacity to build up to that. And we learned how important GPS is with Kupp a few years ago, and especially now with Nacua. He topped 21mph in NFL games, and that kind of playing speed is exceptional. Going by just his Combine 40 time is one of the reasons so many teams passed on him. Injuries, too.
Speaking of age: Nacua is listed as 23 on the official Rams site, but 22 elsewhere. Wiki has him with a 2001 DOB and 22. A few other sites do as well. Weird that they can’t get a consensus age for players.
Billy_TParticipantHere’s a recent mock of mine. I traded down a ton, taking what was offered via the software on the site. All pure fantasy, of course, cuz NFL teams won’t give up so much to move up a few spots, and no team trades this much. But it covers all the bases for the Rams and then some.
My amateur GM board will change a lot after the Combine, interviews, Pro Days, and medical evals, etc. So this is a way-too-early mock, etc.

Rams have contract decisions to consider with Aaron Donald, Matthew Stafford, Cooper Kupp
By Kenneth ArthurThe Los Angeles Rams faced difficult contractual decisions in 2023 and not only did they manage to survive the fallout, Sean McVay coached them into the playoffs and a top-5 offense in the second half of the season. Now that the season is over, the Rams have more financial decisions to make and specifically with their big-3 stars:
Should the L.A. Rams restructure Matthew Stafford, Aaron Donald, and/or Cooper Kupp to save money now but pay these over-30 NFL stars more money later?
2024 salary capOvertheCap.com projects $41.3 million in cap space and $25.8 million in “effective” cap space for 2024. That ranks 12th in the NFL.
But with free agents like Kevin Dotson, Ahkello Witherspoon, Carson Wentz, Demarcus Robinson, Jordan Fuller, and John Johnson, the number could evaporate quickly, not to mention L.A.’s probable desire to add more marquee talent.
Les Snead must be itching to do that after he was hamstrung from making moves last year. If the Rams want to create between $10-$50 million in additional space there’s opportunities to do that…but not without impacting 2025 and beyond.
Matthew Stafford
Stafford has a $31 million base salary next season, but the Rams could turn that into a signing bonus and save up to $19.8 million in 2024 cap space by restructuring. Though Stafford reportedly rejected the Rams advances to change his contract last year, they do not have to get his permission to restructure his deal. They can do that any time they want to do that.
What it would do, however, is change Stafford’s 2025 cap hit from $50 million to $60 million. He will be 37 in 2025.
Aaron Donald
Donald has a $34.1 million cap hit next season, when he will be 33.
The Rams can convert his $10 million salary into a signing bonus and save up to $13.6 million against the cap, at least according to OvertheCap. However, Donald is entering the last year of his contract and only has void years left beyond 2024. That means he will be a free agent in 2025 and the Rams can’t give him the franchise tag. It’s hard to imagine that Donald will play anywhere else and we’re not sure yet what his plans for the future even are.
Donald says he didn’t contemplate retirement after last season, but where is his head for next season and beyond?
Cooper Kupp
Kupp has a $29.8 million cap hit in 2024, but the team can save up to $12.5 million with a restructure. However, did Kupp play well enough this past season—or was he healthy enough—for the team to risk tying themselves to the 31-year-old receiver for additional years? A restructure now would increase his 2025 cap hit to $36 million.
The Rams will not cut Kupp this year because it is financially impossible due to the restructure last year. It’s possible he says his body isn’t in it for another round of football, who knows? Trading him isn’t feasible because of his age and the wear and tear and his $20 million guaranteed salary.
But a restructure seems unwise and unlikely.
What will the Rams do?
The most likely move, if the Rams need one, is to restructure Matthew Stafford for up to $20 million in cap savings. Though his $60 million cap hit in 2025 would be extraordinary, it’s not even quite the highest in the NFL anymore and a quarterback is the one position where it’s worth it.
The team might also look into extending Aaron Donald in order to bring down his cap hit.
As for Kupp, they might need to just sit on his deal this year and see what happens with him as the offseason progresses. Is his body in it or is he feeling like he’s given the NFL everything he can give?
The team has other cap savings opportunities, like with Joe Noteboom and Brian Allen, but these are the three contracts that matter the most. I wouldn’t expect all three to be exactly the same and intact when we get to training camp.
Billy_TParticipantIMO the best “story” SB would be Detroit v. Houston. Though, Detroit physically beating up Stafford while he was on the ground soured me on them.
I can see that. They did go after Stafford, and they roughed up the wideouts, especially Nacua. Not a fan, beyond wanting to see Goff do well . . . if he’s not playing against the Rams.
Overall, I think Buffalo versus the hated Niners might be the best match-up. Just from a fan of the game perspective. But I think Baltimore is going to represent the AFC this time. If they weren’t really the old Cleveland Browns, I’d pull for them cuz of their current locale.
The Rams, to me, are an edge, two corners, and shut-down LT away from the Big Game next year. That’s a tall order, but they should be able to get three of the four spots in the draft, and hopefully strike gold in FA.
Billy_TParticipantRams game aside, I like the way the playoffs have gone so far. Tampa winning helped the Rams in the draft. Moved them up to 19 from 20. And I think Mayfield will make enough in bonuses now to move his comp pick from the 6th round to the 5th, but am not sure. Pittsburgh losing also kept the swap of picks from the Dotson trade closer.
No real preferences from this point on, but I’d like to see a Green Bay/Detroit NFC final, and a Buffalo/Baltimore AFC final. A Lions/Ravens Super Bowl would be unique. Lions/Bills, too.
It would be even better if the two conferences went back to CBS and NBC, like in ancient times.
My guess is that the league execs want SF versus KC. Might have the biggest audience, etc.
Billy_TParticipantNot knocking the effort of anyone on the Rams D, but they just don’t have the requisite athleticism at a few spots. They need upgrades at both corners, and likely both safeties, too. Fuller and Johnson probably won’t be back, as the Rams have a tendency to move on from their safeties in a hurry.
Hoecht is a high effort guy, with crazy straight line speed for someone his size, but he doesn’t have the twitchy/bend/agility needed to cover in space. I think he’d do better gaining back some good weight and playing the D-line instead of edge.
They could use a hoss at DT, too. Draft someone in the 330 or bigger range. I’m also hoping Turner continues to develop. He played way above his 3rd round slot, but he can get better. Good place to start would be conditioning. He has a bit of a gut, and that’s basically just useless extra weight for smaller DTs. The belly doesn’t add speed to power for short, relatively light, quick D-linemen. Turner needs to move in with Donald this off-season, and try to keep up with his maniacal routines.
Already doing my mock sims, and taking advantage of the impossibly fantastic trade offers sent my way before each pick, so I’m usually drafting 14 to 20 guys for the Rams. I know I know. Never gonna happen in the real world. But it’s fun to dream:
https://www.nflmockdraftdatabase.com/
Billy_TParticipantAs Canadaram mentions, yeah. They need another wideout or two, and this looks like an exceptional draft along those lines. The Combine, interviews, Med evals, and Pro Days will shake up the order several more times before the draft hits, but a coupla tall, freakish wideouts are likely available for the Rams in the 3rd or 4th rounds: Jerry Rice’s son, Brenden Rice (USC), plus J.Michael Sturdivant (UCLA). Both guys are on Bruce Feldman’s Freak list. Sturdivant has a 23.2 GPS time, at nearly 6’4″.
Also: Not sure about this, but I think if Tampa wins, Baker Mayfield’s 6th round comp becomes a 5th rounder, and it may help Rams slotting in the draft, too. They might go from 22 to 19. Worse case is 20 now, if this site is correct:
https://www.turfshowtimes.com/2024/1/14/24038547/rams-draft-order-2024-first-round
And, of Morris is hired as HC this go-round, the Rams get a 3rd round comp in the upcoming draft, and in 2025. That would essentially take the place of their lost 4th rounder, and fill in the large gap between their third and fifth round picks (84 to 153 and 154).
Billy_TParticipantIf they had to lose, it was good to lose by just one point, and to the Lions.
Ultimately, they lost the game on the first drive, with Detroit just moving down the field far too easily. It set the tone, and a major obstacle for the Rams. They were fighting from behind the entire game. I think with their suspect corners, and Fuller out, they needed to have the lead instead. Which makes me think already about the draft and how important it will be to shore up the DBs.
Tackle, edge, corners, safeties. Most important. But they won’t have Higbee next year, either, so they need another TE. Center, guard, another wideout, and I’d love to see them pair a battering ram back with Williams. In a way too early player to note: Braelen Allen of Wisconsin. 6’2″, 240. Young. Will turn 21 in his rookie season.
Billy_TParticipantAs others have already mentioned, this is basically all gravy at this point. I didn’t think the Rams would have a winning record, much less get into the playoffs. So a win tonight is cherry-on-top stuff. Which also makes me think this is a toss-up game.
On paper, the Lions are better, and they’re playing at home, so they should win. But the Rams have been surprising everyone for most of the season, so anything can happen today.
Yep, it’s gonna come down to turnovers. Team with the most takeaways wins.
Oh, and one more thing: Just getting into the playoffs helps the Rams with free agents this off-season. They’re going to be more attractive to players cuz of what they accomplished in 2023 — win or lose tonight. As in, it’s all good.
Billy_TParticipantMcVay saying that really impresses me. I just don’t think many other coaches would own up to that kind of thing. And he’s right. He had his “franchise” QB in-house and basically dismissed him after a few bumps in the road. It’s a lot more complicated than that, and we’ll never know the full story . . . but, that’s the gist of it.
Obviously, it worked out pretty well for the Rams. For both teams, actually. But if we can play the counterfactual game for a bit: If McVay had been 100% in Goff”s corner, and the Rams made all the same moves before the 2021 season, I think Goff would have equaled Stafford’s production and won the ring as well. I’d also bet having those extra picks would have kept the Rams in contention the following season.
But it is what it is. Stafford, when healthy, has been great, and he’s arguably the best QB in the playoffs, at least on the NFC side. McVay learned a ton from all of this, and that can only help our favorite team thrive.
Billy_TParticipantI’d put George Allen in the top three, at least in my lifetime. He helped turn a basement-dweller program into a league powerhouse. They had just one winning season in the ten years prior to his tenure, and were 4-10 before he took over.
But Allen’s methods probably couldn’t work in one locale for long. He tended to tick off the FO. Kinda like Martz. Which makes me wonder how good that pairing might have been — if we could time-travel a bit: Allen as HC/Martz as his OC.
Another thing to consider: McVay’s route to HC basically skipped over the usual process of spending years and years moving up the coaching ladder. Unlike any previous Rams coach, he didn’t log umpteen years as assistant/position/unit coordinator, etc. So he’s done a hell of a lot of OJT. The vast majority of coaches his age are still climbing that ladder, etc. But McVay likely won’t be coaching beyond, say, 40. Allen was 48 or so before he got the Rams’ job.
Billy_TParticipantAvila looks like a major hit for them, and they scored big, it appears, with Turner and Young (Sounds kinda like a Buddy flick, doesn’t it?). Plus, of course, the real stunner: Nacua. Davis Allen and Ethan Evans look good so far as well. I’m still hoping Zach Evans can find a way to get on the field, too.
Anyway, Bennett, to me, is the only real sour note from this draft so far, with a few of the 6th and 7th rounders still being in limbo, basically. As in, they could end up helping the team as well. But it’s hard to get angry if picks that late don’t pan out. You do want at least the first four rounds to hit, though, if possible.
Hope you’re right about this next offseason, and I’m guessing you are. The Rams very likely learned a lot about process, team-building, and gained a sense of . . . well, humility . . . from the down year/bounce-back. This season’s all gravy, IMO. But next year, they gotta get back to the Big Dance.
Billy_TParticipantMerlin was the man. A true gentle giant. But I’m really surprised that Lou Creekmur isn’t at the top of the list. I mean, who has ever been more revered in the history of the NFL than Lou “Muddy” Creekmur?
Billy_TParticipantHaven’t looked this up online, at least not in several years:
All-Pro is different than Pro Bowl, and the former is the greater honor, if memory serves. Ten in a row for All-Pro is/was incredibly rare, in any era. Also just winging it, but I’d bet any player who gets to ten (total) gets to the HOF, too. Automatic, basically. Guessing they don’t even need ten. Five or more gives them a good shot.
Billy_TParticipantBad luck for me. If Washington plays in the same time slot as the Rams, the Rams aren’t on. They usually don’t, so I sometimes get to see them for late games. Not this Sunday. Will have to wait until the playoffs.
I’m conflicted about Nacua. It’s great that he has a shot at the rookie record, but I think I’d rather they sit him for the entire game. He plays too hard, and with abandon, so it’s always risky for him to be on the field at all.
The Rams, IMO, have had too many misses on Draft Days through the years, but this last draft class is otherworldly. Don’t think they’ve ever done better, especially given the absence of a 1st . . . not to mention past years when the Rams have had multiple early picks. Throw in Dotson, Robinson, and Witherspoon, and one could argue it’s their best offseason, evah. Can they make it rain hidden gems in 2024?
Billy_TParticipantThis sounds like the most likely outcome to me:
Rams lose + Cowboys win + Packers win
I would shift the above to this, if the Rams weren’t sitting key players:
Rams win + Lions win + Cowboys win
__
It’s amazing enough that the Rams made the playoffs, but to also be able to rest some players on the last Sunday? Sheesh. Crazy good season.
Billy_TParticipantRam fans know all about Ernest
And we understand the Importance of being that.
Pretty wilde that you chose now to say that.
