    I wonder if we acquired him mainly to be able to stash him on the practice squad in 1-4 weeks and build his strength up for next year.

    There are players on our practice squad and who were picked up by other teams off waivers that would’ve been on our 53 a couple years ago. The Rams talent acquisition in the last several years has been superb .

    I thought he was going to make the roster, so good that he made the Practice Squad. In fact, I would have been happy if the Rams had kept the 5 players that got picked up on waivers. I Still don’t know why they kept Natson.

    I agree with everything you just said.

    Looks to me they are holding back on the ones they would prefer to make it through to the practice squad.

    Yes, I think that is likely.

    I also think they Have a couple tradeable assets that won’t make the team because of room, Why not use them to get someone decent that they want ahead of the deadline

    I hear you and I believe I understand the cross training and how that will make them look worse. I’m still concerned they are simply too young. They need one more decent veteran with experience imo. If either of the two rookie pan out, it might not be an issue next year.

    Put Saffold on this team and I’d feel good about it.

    Plus I think we have tradeable DB assets so we could acquire a mid level journeyman guard from a team short in the defensive backfield.

    I agree with just about everything you said and I’m still concerned. I think the rookies need a redshirt year before they are ready. Reports are Edwards is way ahead, but that’s not the same (on average) as way ahead for a 1sr or 2nd round pick.

    If they keep drafting like this they will have good depth starting, I think, next year.

    This year I am concerned about the readiness of said depth.

    He’s definitely looking forward to learning some stuff and being picked up as a starter for another team next year. He hopes.

    funny that one of the biggest questions surrounding goff was his ability to play under center.

    P
    To be honest? I don’t think anyone questioned his ability to do that. I think the only point made was that mastering the art of dropping back while making post-snap reads was just one more thing he had to learn to do. I don’t think any qb has ever failed because they could not master playing under center. The issue is more, how much does he have to learn and therefore how much more does he have to do to play the pro game and THEREFORE how much longer does it take for college qbs who haven’t done it. It’s a time factor, not a “can he or can’t he” factor.

    I dunno zn. I seem to recall reading on several occasions that QBs who don’t go under center at college struggle with that at the NFL level and some just never get comfortable with it. I also seem to recall a few articles stating it specifically in reference to Goff.

    Perhaps my memory is faulty.

    I think it is possible that they keep only eight OL and put two or three on the practice squad. I also think it is likely they keep five cornerbacks as they have that many good ones. Could keep five outside linebackers if one or two are versatile enough to play a good bit inside if necessary.

    Will Jared Goff’s performance as ‘young Bill’ in the upcoming film, “Bill and Ted 3” outshine his performance on the field?

    Probably too expensive to keep. My prediction is they take the comp pick.

    And trade a second or third round pick for a CB on their rookie contract.

    And likely draft another one in the first three round next year.

    If we are lucky he will have had a son that is a ballplayer and may soon be dropped eligible

    I wonder if Talib and the RAMS would entertain a move to FS after this year.

    Short shuttle and 3 cone times for DBs (and WRs). Love it!

    Hram

    I like both DB selections.

    They moved up for the RB to have their pick before they started coming off the board, so they must think his upside is great. Certainly superb in yards after contact which is impressive.

    The tackle they picked is shorter, but has good feet and long arms and a heavy punch. Could make a good guard and potentially RT or swing backup tackle.

    Couple things on the net say he ran hurt on the 4.79 and has run faster previously.

    That is a low price tag. Rams must really think little of his potential to let him go for that much.

    I think it is 50-50 that they trade down. With this front office, I trust whatever they end up doing. 🙂

    One good guard and, imo, another developmental tackle who can start out as a backup tackle/guard.

    I believe arm length and functional strength (as well as smarts and nimble feet) are more important than height and weight, particularly at center.

    The rams are taking risk at their oline imo, more than any other position group. I’m sure they have a plan to promote from within, draft and pickup folks late in free agency.

    Only 1 million for quarterback of the Bortles caliber is an absolute steal Imo.

    I think Mathews played both inside and outside last year.

    If Mathews and Weddle have anything left, this could be a fun defense.

    I think the Rams got to be out of money after this one.

    Need probably one more cheap dline and one more cheap backup oline. I think. That’s about it. Plus draft some backups/groom for future years guys in the draft.

    Given the probable price tag, I’d say it would be a great deal. I believe he would be a significant upgrade from Mannion and when he departs in a year (likely imo), Rams could earn a comp pick.

    Might actually be the opposite. Plus they could flip roles to disguise coverages.
