That was just too expensive. You can’t blame Watkins, he went with the money. But considering what he brought last year, the price tag was way too high.
Last year WRs in his tier (like Adams and Jeffrey) got 13-14 M. Contracts go up. This year the expected range for WRs in that tier would be 15-16 M. That sounds like more or less what we should have expected.
i’m not sure he’s in that tier. regardless he was their third most productive receiver on the team. too much money for your third receiver.
VID that’s based on:
of those teams.
i would want the rams.
but that’s just me. but outside of the rams, my next choice would be the packers followed by the jaguars.
the bears and the chiefs look like a disaster right now to me.
i think they’d have to trade up to draft vea.
and it’d probably require a future second rounder at the very least.
but then. on paper at least. they’d have a top notch dline to go with a top notch secondary. on paper at least.
then potentially you’d have this.
brockers vea donald
ebukam littleton barron rolb
peters joyner johnson talib
rolb would be filled perhaps by barwin. and the third round draft pick. but the push that dline would create. the number of blockers that beefy line would occupy…
not to mention the run defense. i might even feel for offenses trying to run on that front seven.
i guess i didn’t realize talib blacks out at times and has shot himself in the leg…
hmmmm….
Well… at least he’s never blacked out or shot himself during a game. I mean…look on the bright side.
haha. yeah. amazingly he hasn’t seemed to miss too much game time.

Guess we don’t need a corner high anymore … I’m doing this in 2 sections … top 5 and dart board …
I think we resign Watkins.
Top 5
1) Harold Landry Edge… smooth movement skills, 4.6 40 … burst, bend and flatten to the QB. I think he’s probably a better overall player than Vic Beasley was coming out but the higher profile athletes are marginalizing his ability. I was hoping he wouldn’t come out last year so we’d have a shot at him this year. Backup plan: Lorenzo Carter
We may even be able to trade down here and still get him or Carter or Key.3) Tim Settle NT. Rough combine will have him slide. Great. He’s a nose tackle. I need him to “not move” better than he “moves.”
4) Will Clapp OC. Center and OG that can backup a year if needed.
4) Micah Kiser ILB … signal caller and “heart of the defense” kinda guy that should go higher … but the position has a lot of talent this year.
Dart Board My guess is that these will be used to get picks in 19′ or to move up in this draft … but since they’re here, I’ll use them.
6) Durham Smythe TE … bad combine, high talent at the position, he slides.
6) Joe Noteboom DT Kinda pedestrian but could be a decent RT and finish the game at OLT in a pinch.
6) Travon Young rOLB This guy gets no love, no idea why.
6) Godwin Iqwebuike S Liked him for years, tested better than I thought.
6) Daurice Fountain WR Put on a show at the East West game and got no combine invite.
I’ll wait to pick up CBs and more DTs in UDFA to fill our final roster spot or compete for the practice squad.
Also, when it comes to ILB, TE, OC and NT .. I have backup plans in Jason Cabinda ILB, Ryan Izzo, Khalil Mckenzie NT, and Brian Allen OC
i like landry. he looks a little pumped up. his playing weight is probably closer to 240 pounds, but von miller doesn’t look all that big either. but then. landry is just a tick below miller in terms of explosion and quickness. rams really need to hit on edge rusher. i don’t think the secondary can reach peak powers without an awesome pass rush.
i like tim settle. i don’t know that he lasts until the third round. i really doubt it from what i read. he seems highly regarded, and i doubt teams take his combine performance too seriously.
i really like noteboom from what i’ve read as well as his combine performance. no way he lasts until the sixth. i don’t think he even lasts until the third. but if he does, i would think the rams would pounce on that.
I’m looking at Mason Foster myself. Love to see the Rams sign him.
that’d be an option too. and would be cheaper. i don’t know that the rams have enough cap space for williamson.
they could sign williamson for the other ilb spot. only 25.
Who is williamson?
..
avery williamson
I want a NT.
that would be good too.
best player available.
vita vea? da’ron payne? then they could draft their linebackers in the later rounds.
