HramParticipantI don’t like the pick but,
He weighed himself today and was up to 160 lbs.
He only had two drops last season per the ESPN team.
Mel had him in his next 5 to go (was at #4) before we picked him so he probably wasn’t a big reach.
I’m remembering all the times McVay call the play where Avery ran a sweep and Gurley went up the middle. The new QBs strength is reading defenses, and we likely run this play more often again.
We did need another speed guy IMO.
I can understand the pick, even though I don’t like it any better than I liked the Avery or Candidate picks.
HramParticipantI really wish the Rams were tied to better names in round 1. So far I’m drawing a blank with all of the ones mentioned that the Rams might take.
I’m interested to see whether the opt outs drop from projections 6-8 months ago because of not playing last year.
HramParticipantThat last video is pretty funny 😄
HramParticipantBilly, you only get the reasons why if you know the move after, queen to queen’s level three”. 🙂
HramParticipantI will take him at his word that he would do anything for the team including the move to guard.
I don’t think it happens, but it is interesting.
HramParticipantIs the guard position less of an injury risk? Would it prolong Whitworths career.
I think he’s the best tackle on the team, but the youngun proved a reasonable starter. I don’t think it happens, but it is interesting.

HramParticipantZooey, well played. 🙂

I missed that. 🙂
HramParticipantJefferson does not strike me as soft. Even if he is as “soft” as Bruce, that wouldn’t be bad.
I think he’s better than the guy he is replacing in that way. Josh reynolds seemed to never fight for a ball. It irked me.
I don’t think he will be the best Receiver on the team next year. As a sophomore, he still has a lot to learn.
April 1, 2021 at 7:19 pm in reply to: Blythe signing w/ Vikings? (Chiefs actually). So who’s the center? #128796HramParticipantDid Massey have any sons? Wouldn’t one of them be about the right age?
HramParticipantI’m pounding the draft-table for Johnny Steamroll, Bulldog Pancaker, or Wolfgang Von Trapblock. Just hoping they don’t run sub-5.0 forties at their Pro Days, or the Rams may be out of luck.
Great post Billy!
HramParticipantThey spent more than the Rams did to get the third choice at an unproven player.
Inconceivable
HramParticipantIf we only use him for about 15 plays a game to stretch the field, he might be able to stay healthy.
It could work.
HramParticipantAwesome prediction canadaram!!!!
You were all over that one!
HramParticipantAt least we didn’t have to give them a pick to clear the cap space.
Core locker room guy. He’s been with the team a good long while.
Good player, but not exceptional. I think his snaps are replaceable without losing much.
HramParticipant“I can’t let him down.”
That’s telling.
HramParticipantEven after we lose a couple folks, defense has enough players to be top 10 IMO. Could be better with Donald and Ramsey, but, barring injury, should be top 10.
It all depends on the Oline IMO. If Oline is average or better, Stafford will adapt pretty darn quick and we should be legit challengers. If Oline is worse than average, might be another fight for a wild card.
HramParticipantCould be.
They do need the salary cap relief. If they could get a day two pick, even better.
HramParticipantI’m not ready to commit until I see what they can retain and/or add.
I’m guessing we’ll see a top 7-10 QB with top 5 stats due to the offense he is in.
If the defense is still top 5 and they don’t suffer a rash of injuries, 12-4.
HramParticipantI think there is zero chance the Chargers would’ve given up Herbert for what we gave Detroit. I’m not sure the Chargers would do that trade for four first round draft picks.
If we get five good years out of what many considered to be a top 10-ish quarterback, then it is worth that draft capital. It will be interesting to see the length of the extension they gift stafford.
HramParticipantIt’s a dilemma.
The younguns should get incrementally better with another year. Sounds like whit is coming back for another year which helps. Akers should be better in his second year which also helps.
It’s strange to me that in several of these videos reference the QBs, folks talk about how the Rams Oline is better and I get the impression the consensus is, at worst, middle of the pack in the NFL. I thought we gave up way too much pressure up the middle and they did not play THAT well, but maybe I’m wrong. Maybe all they need is a little incremental improvement to be…good.
February 1, 2021 at 12:07 pm in reply to: What does it feel like to have a first round pick? #127453HramParticipantThey may keep trading them away!
HramParticipantWe’ll just agree to disagree!
I think it probable Goff stopped progressing. I also think it most likely Goff had a better team around him than Stafford.
It will be an interesting experiment to see how they do in each other’s shoes next year.
HramParticipantIt’s an NBA salary dump move while upgrading the actual players be swapped.
Goff is an average QB. Stanford may just be this decades equivalent of Archie Manning. Now McVay has a QB he scouted that he believes fits the rest of his offense and opens things back up.
Their mistake was extending Goff two years ago when they likely figured he would continue progressing. Well, he didn’t continue progressing. The next question is what to do with that sunk cost.
This is just a call. They made it. One thing the current incarnation of this franchise is not afraid to do is be bold.
If staffolds extension makes sense, then they can keep/get some extra players over the next 4 years. We’ve got Donald, Ramsey and now staffers for the next 3-4 years. If they can shore up the interior of the Oline at all either with an acquisition or further development, they could be really good.
We can beat Seattle, SF still does not have a good QB and Arizona does not scare me.
Chips all shoved to the center of the table!
HramParticipantFascinating
(Raises eyebrow)
HramParticipantWhat makes Goff tick and put in extra work? None of us know. Their open comments seems like a weird way to motivate him with high potential to do the opposite, but it is possible. Us humans are all different.
None of it makes sense to me.
HramParticipantThis is unexpected to me. Is it possible they are actually considering moving on from Goff this off-season?
I guess they either swap QBs with someone, can’t think who, or trade him to a QB needy team at the top of the draft and start over. Regardless, I thought the accelerated cap hit made that impossible.
HramParticipantMcVay strikes me as the kind of person that if you jettison him, he comes back stronger with his next team a few years down the road.
Or the organization can be patient with him while he matures.
Goffs contract is going to look a lot better in a couple/three years when the cap goes up.
HramParticipantThat’s my take. If we are strong on the Oline, particularly up the middle, and particularly in pass blocking, everything will work better.
