    my guess is this means avila to center. i kinda half speculated moving avila to center and then jackson to lg. i like this move. now this interior oline is potentially even better than last year.

     

    keep alaric at lt most likely.

     

    in the draft you’re looking at cb and edge rusher.

     

    wow. just wow.

    whoa!

     

    rams sign jonah jackson guard.

     

    colby parkinson tight end.

     

    these sound like very good signings.

    mitch morse signs 2 year 10.5 million dollar contract with jaguars.

     

    wonder what this means for shelton.

     

    feeling more and more likely that rams draft a center?

    But the CB dept. is weaker. I would like Witherspoon to be the second-best CB on the field.

     

    i like cooper dejean. he’s the closest thing to jalen ramsey in this draft. and he could be available at 19. he’s athletic. he’s versatile. he’s physical.

     

    this off-season has me excited. i have no clue what this team will do, but i’m sure it’s going to completely catch me off guard.

    one crazy thought that entered my head is the rams drafting brock bowers in the first round. edge rusher and cornerback are the obvious needs. but what if there’s a run on one or both positions in the first round?

     

    and while it would seem to be out of character for the rams to draft a tight end that early the rams did attempt to trade up into the first round to select dalton kincaid. that’s widely known.

     

    furthermore the rams are arguably in a worse position at tight end than they were last year. they do have allen, but higbee is now coming off acl surgery. and the rams were willing to draft a tight end in the first round last year WITH a healthy higbee under contract.

     

    plus. bowers is a better prospect than kincaid was last year. a complete tight end prospect. imagine kupp, puka, robinson, and bowers running around in 3 wr sets.

     

    if bowers falls out of the top 10 which experts are now predicting, is it inconceivable for the rams to attempt to trade up for him? especially when they were at least exploring trading up into the first round last year for kincaid?

    and also get one or two bargain free agents on top of that.

    i don’t know if it’s possible but i’d really like to see the rams go big on a fa pass rusher. and then use the draft to get some defensive backs. pass rushers usually take longer to develop and they need one to make an immediate impact.

    If Dallas Turner is there at #19, the Rams should pounce.

     

    i would love for that to happen, but i think he’s gone by then. they’d have to trade up to get him.

     

    as far as defensive backs. someone’s gonna slip. i still like cooper dejean and it seems like he’s a prime candidate to slip down the draft. it might be better for the rams to trade down and keep accumulating draft picks.

    maybe this means the rams will be able to pick up a bargain fa.

    one thing i could see them doing. if they are interested in taliese fuaga. they probably have to trade up for him. but if they were to draft him then they let dotson go. plug fuaga at right guard. hav at right tackle. alaric at left tackle. sign him to a multi-year contract. avila at left guard. shelton at center. and what i like about it is you plug fuaga at rg but then he’s a logical candidate to replace hav the next year. his combine tape looks amazing. very quick. supposedly very impressive in interviews.

    How does them signing Dotson impact your thinking on this?

     

    i don’t think they go this route anymore. most likely draft a prospect in the lower rounds. i’m now leaning toward edge rusher, cornerback, wide receiver. i’m not as high on latu as some people are. but what do i know? and projections right now are leaning that way.

     

    i like chop robinson. he’s toolsy to borrow a term from baseball. i wouldn’t mind seeing a cornerback either. wide receiver would be out of left field but it might make sense long term.

     

    i could see a scenario where rams draft powers-johnson. now THAT would be intriguing… what a potentially scary iol THAT would be.

    I don’t know how long you have followed the Rams

     

    since 95 so 29 years.

     

    i do remember in the past snead talking about building the oline from the inside out. but i was a little worried there for a minute. wasn’t sure they’d pull through trigger but i’m glad they did.

     

    i just want to see avila continue to make progress on the left side. re-sign jackson. i don’t know what happens at center. maybe bring shelton back. maybe draft powers-johnson after a trade down?

    Now they are shaping up to have a great IOL.

     

    dare i say the greatest interior oline i’ve seen since watching the rams?

    I think they need to upgrade both lines and corners first.

     

    i agree. and it just so happens this is a good draft to do it.

    there’s at least five tackles worthy of a first round pick and maybe 2 or 3 more who are worthy of a second round pick.  lots of talent.  i know the rams have at least interviewed taliese fuaga although he reads more like a right tackle prospect.  pff ranks him as the 12 best player in the draft.  OVERALL.  third best tackle prospect.  arms only 33″.  but maybe they plug him in at right guard to replace dotson and eventually right tackle with alaric and avila on the left side.  supposed to be a mauler in the run game.  he’s athletic.  ran a 5.13 40.  scouts do seem to think he can play either side.  so versatility is a plus.

    Quinyon Mitchell* would be a great 1st rounder. Could be the Rams’ lock-down corner for years. But I’d take Dallas Turner, the edge rusher, before him, if he falls.

     

    i would love to see those guys on the rams. but yeah. i don’t see them being available at 19. but who knows. maybe a trade up? personally i’d want turner.

     

    the offensive tackles look really good. and there should be one available at 19.

     

    it sounds like shelton is likely to come back so i’d prefer a tackle.

    i read my previous post and it wasn’t very well written.

     

    but if they do decide to move on from dotson the rams need to draft online early and often.

     

    watching the combine right now. lots of talented olineman. amarius mims looks electric. wow. draft him in the first round if he gets that far.

    The question is whether they want to.

     

    that’s what i’m getting at. i’m sure they could. i’m worried they’re not willing to pay him what he demands.

    i’m a little worried they won’t be able to keep dotson.

     

    oline testing and drills at the combine today.

    In the final paragraph of his farewell column, Peter King names three young journalists to keep an eye on, and @JourdanRodrigue is one of them.

     

    by far my favorite rams reporter of all time.

    well one thing also about nacua.  he needs to somehow learn how to absorb less punishment.  like coop he tends to get banged up.  he got a little lucky last year in that he didn’t miss any games i don’t think.  but he was getting hit a lot.  and there were times you could see he was really hurting.  i don’t know if you can learn that or not.  but i do worry about his health.

     

    and then yes.  the hands and the route running needs to be improved.  but those are things that can definitely be worked on.

    yeah.  i imagine kupp gets healthy.  or at least healthier than last year.  robinson maintains his level of play from last year.  and i imagine that puka gets better.  so along with atwell the receivers are set.

     

    higbee is gonna still be recovering at the beginning of the season.  so hopefully allen is ready.  rams should draft a tight end in later rounds for depth.

     

    still need a backup qb.

     

    still need to settle on the oline.  looks like they plan on bringing shelton back.  haven’t heard anything yet on dotson or jackson.

    The Dodgers own LA.

     

    i could not agree more. whether they suck or whether they’re good dodgers fans will always be there to support their team.

     

    a lot of people say it’s a lakers town but it’s simply not true. i’ve been to lakers games when they sucked and it’s dead. the fans only truly show up when they’re winning championships. but the dodgers? i’ve never been to a dodger game and dodger fans don’t show up. part of it is i think the affordability of games. and the atmosphere. yes. dodger stadium is amazing. it’s great to go to during the summer. take in a game. just soak in all the people in the stadium hanging out and having a good time. drinking a beer. lakers are just a little less accessible. personally i’m not willing to throw down that much cash to see them play. yeah. i agree. there’s just something amazing about socal summers. catching a baseball game. and rams are even less accessible. too much money. it’s too hard to afford anything more than the occasional game every now and then. i bought season tickets the year they came back. but since then i’ve only been to one game because i had to see sofi. just an aside note. la coliseum is amazing. i love that stadium.

     

    i did meet one man. rabid rams fan. had season tickets every year since they came back but followed them since he was a kid. but he hated the dodgers with a passion. i asked him why. apparently he was born and raised in chavez ravine. could never forgive them for taking his home from him.
