i’m happy about the signing, but i read mcleod is gone.

i like it. i think he’d complement gurley well. i think he’d be an upgrade over keenum. and mannion maybe develops in a couple years.

then just concentrate on defense in the draft.

i like it. i’d totally be on board.

I don’t know. I don’t think Fisher is terrible. That’s a strong word for a coach that’s been around this many years and has had some success.

I think Fisher still underestimates the “new” league. He doesn’t seem to get the importance of good QB play and good WRs. This is a QB ONLY league now. A team has to have a good one. Even Seattle’s D, which has been great for a few years, wouldn’t go far without the solid playmaking ability of Wilson.

The one good QB Fisher had was Steve McNair, and he wasn’t great, but he was good enough. Coupled with a great running game and a good D, Fisher had success.

So unless we can find our own version of McNair we’re gonna remain a .500 team, imo.

but superbowls have also been occupied by great defenses as well.

and this year. yeah peyton manning is a hall of famer but that’s not the peyton manning that won this superbowl. not to mention that the broncos defense was responsible for shutting down the reigning mvp qb newton.

i think fisher understands and maybe if there was one criticism of him it’s that he should not have traded bradford. but i was one of many who was on board with that decision so i made the same mistake as well.

well i don’t think adding roddy would hurt and i think that using premium draft picks on defense would be better given all the talent on that side.

and i agree that having welker last year was a big help to a young offense.

i think this kind of signing would be the way to go. get a receiver who can step right in and contribute. bringing in a rookie who doesn’t know all the nuances of a pro style offense and having to develop him. i don’t know.

i know a couple of the bengals receivers should be free agents as well.

give keenum or whoever the best chance for immediate success.

then the draft can be spent on defense and a developmental qb.

weakest offensive draft in years. i think the rams might be better off drafting a qb for the future and then just focusing on restocking the defense. maybe have the qb sit for a year and see what next year looks like in terms of drafting receivers.

there’s always free agency too.

i think he’s a more athletic version of joe flacco.

but it sounds like he’s gonna need a lot of time and development.

darron lee is intriguing. quarterback and defensive back in high school. only two years experience as a linebacker, but he’s explosive and quick. killebrew is another guy i’m looking at as well.

jj is gone. rams have to focus on bringing back mcleod, barron, and hayes.

sign one offensive weapon. and i think they’re ready to draft.

my guess is jenkins is gone. if he had signed the contract no tag of johnson, and johnson most likely is gone.

they’ll have likely johnson, gaines, joyner, and roberson as their top 4 corners. that’s good. you essentially remove jenkins and replace him with gaines. that’s still a high caliber group of corners. they could add one more in the draft to develop, and i think they’d be good to go.

if i’m the rams fo, i target donald as a franchise type player. you give franchise money to him, and hopefully extend guys like brockers and ogletree to reasonable contracts. barron as well. defensive backs they can just churn talent every year and see what sticks. linebackers too. if ogletree and barron want top 10 money, let them walk. the rams should be able to find similar talent and mold them. you’re not gonna come across another aaron donald all that often so yeah. you sell out for him. or hopefully a healthy robert quinn.

i wonder if barron doesn’t re-sign. i wonder if alexander could come in and slot in there.

i like this kid deiondre hall. only ran a 4.68 in the 40, but he’s got tremendous length. and while it’s a slow time, i think he performed well in the more important drills like the short shuttle and the 3-cone.

during the combine drills they showed the times of josh norman, richard sherman and patrick peterson, so i decided to compare their combine performance to hall’s.

deiondre hall
6’1″ 192lbs arm length 34 3/4″
40 – 4.68s
vert – 37″
broad – 127″
3-cone – 7.07s
short shuttle – 4.06s

josh norman
6’0″ 197lbs arm length 32 3/4″
40 – 4.66s
vert – 33″
broad – 124″
3-cone – 7.09s
short shuttle – 4.23s

richard sherman
6’3″ 195lbs arm length 32″
40 – 4.56s
vert – 38″
broad – 125″
3-cone – 6.82s
short shuttle – 4.33s

patrick peterson
6’0″ 219lbs arm length 32″
40 – 4.34s
vert – 38″
broad – 126″
3-cone – 6.58s
short shuttle – 4.07s

overall his numbers compare with some of the best. but it’s his length that really makes me wonder about his potential. explosive athlete. quick athlete. should be available on the second day.

I would rather use franchise type money on guys who have already performed at an all pro level, that are the best players on the team. Guys like Quinn, Donald, and Gurley. You have to get value for your cap money, not just keeping every player you would like to keep. The Rams don’t low ball players, they make value judgements, cause they always spend to the cap. imo

yup. absolutely agree.

as long as the rams can sign one of them i don’t care. i’m pretty confident gaines can come back and do a job.

And Roberson.

And Joyner was coming on at the end there.

We have said it before—it’s easy to trust these guys when it comes to finding and developing DBs.

So maybe Jenkins gets his money somewhere else, or, he ends up being a Barksdale. I can’t call this one in advance. Who knows.

,

i’d rather use that money trying to re-sign other soon to be free agents.

there is no fucking way i take a qb in the first round with all these luscious defensive linemen in the draft.

ogbah ran a 4.6 40. 35 1/2″ arms. wanna see how he does in drills.
