Never lived in the Cleveland, Anaheim, LA or St. Louis. I am just a vagabond Rams fan who will cheer for them regardless of where they play.

My heart goes out to those of you like DAK who feel so sad on this day.

I imagine we will lose at Arizona, Seattle and Green Bay. The rest of them we have a chance to win. If your OL can play even close to middle of the pack by the end of the first quarter of the season and you start out to into, barring a rash of injuries, I believe we will win 10 or 11 games.

I am glad that lyser and his potty mouth are planning on going to heaven, it gives me more hope.

“…He’s paying attention…his effort…”

I take that to mean he was less dedicated before this year thinking he could get by more on his natural athleticism. Figuring that out may be something some gifted athletes have to learn, but I’d guess from all we’ve heard that he is more focused this year.

Is he a mauler? A good guard but I am not sure his style of play will fit this tea.

They have some serious young talent due to the extra picks from the RG3 trade and added to it this year with the cap savings from the Bradford trade. Plus, none of them are rookies and the coordinator is going into his second year with the team.

Provided the offense can be close to average and they don’t suffer an undue amount of injuries, they should be a top 5 defense. Anything else would be disappointing.

Good talented death at multiple positions even though they are young makes me optimistic. Plus they have not yet sustain any serious injuries.

We’ll be okay if the line stays healthy and if one of our three center candidates steps up.

That’s two big ifs. Too much to make me confident.

I am buying it in the top couple of rounds or the talent can be very high except for a few low density positions if you already have a young All-Pro there like Center or tight end. Otherwise if you have someone that is truly that much higher rank than everyone else even if it is not a position of need then you should take them. If you do not need them this year he will in one or two years.

Very good starting quality offense of guards can be handled through the third round of this draft and they can always add a little bit to the money they are offering a Barksdale to get him to sign .

ESPN said the Rams had Mariota 1 and Gurley 2. Regardless, if one of your top two guys is on the board at 10, you take him.

Unexpected pick. But, if he comes back healthy (read a report that it was a clean ACL tear meaning not a lot of other collateral damage) and he’s projected as the best back since Adrian Peterson then it makes sense. BPA and fits with the team identity.

Can get some damn fine Guards and centers in the 2nd and 3rd rounds this year. This draft is deep in interior lineman and I expect they will take at least one in the next two rounds and probably another by the end of the draft.

Glad we didn’t reach for Oline help.

Bet we come up with something Barksdale will agree to within the next couple of weeks. 🙂

If he drops within range they should consider it. Giving him a redshirt year behind Foles would be the perfect start to this very hard working young player’s career.

Well what the heck, I vote for giving him the less money now and not waiting until the draft

I really do not think Huntley is going to make a good NFL quarterback. I watched a bunch of his games this year and he just does not seem to have it. He is athletic but I believe he lacks patience, speed of processing information and accuracy.

I do not know anything about Grayson.

Good trade in my opinion because of Bradford’s injury history. We were giving him too much to take the chance on him if we could come away with a decent alternative. With this trade, we have a decent alternative.

I’d take Mariota if he is there at 10 exactly because he wouldn’t have to play this year. The kid is smart and will put in the work during a redshirt year.

I wouldn’t take any other QB in this draft earlier than the 4th round. I just don’t see any of them as being great prospects.

If you believe Bradford can’t stay healthy, then this is an excellent trade. Between college and the pros he has lost three seasons already.

I think he is a risk with a giant hit to the salary cap this year. So, while I believe it was best to roll the dice with him last year, I think it more prudent at his salary cap hit to make this trade this year. You can buy a lot of solid interior lineman with the money they just saved.

Foles is probably an average starting QB. Somewhere around 15 to 20. If they fix the Oline, resign Brit and get an average starter at CB (things they should be able to afford now in FA, they can complete this year. They still have a lot of young and improving players.

I dunno, straight up it makes enough sense. With the extra 2nd rounder next year, it is even better.

Assuming Foles passes his physical, why not resign him for the next 4-5 years at around his current salary. High priced for a backup, but no crazy and extremely low if he starts. Then draft a rookie every year and see what you can develop. Spend the extra salary cap on resigning those you want to keep from the current roster into a second contract. Seems like a decent plan and if Foles does develop into a top 10-15 QB the team is pretty set into the future.
