oh wow. hahahaha. that’s gotta be the biggest gap in the league.

i wonder if a ramsey trade is possible with this amount of cap space.

That last vid, the interview, I think that’s about as good an interview with a college player I have seen. He’s a very grounded, smart, confident–but also non-egotistical–guy.

i keep looking for something to curb my optimism, but he looks better and better every time i read or listen to something about him.

of course outside of a few highlight videos i’ve seen nothing on him nor would i know how to evaluate him even if i did. but i just can’t help but feel like he is going to be a good player.

so. i’m confused. if we’re to believe that post above the rams have 25 million in cap space.

but if we’re to believe otc, it’s only 19 million in cap space?

i have yet to see someone who isn’t absolutely in love with this pick.

most likely i’m getting ahead of myself, but i totally see the rams getting their two starting linebackers in this rookie class.

i really have good feelings about paul jr. not because of what i’ve seen but just reading and listening, nearly everyone has nothing but good things to say about him.

but then dolac too. i get london fletcher feelings with this guy. most productive lb in division i football. more athletic than i think he gets credit for.

i was disappointed that they didn’t get campbell in the first round, but i understand why they did what they did. it was the right move.

i like the draft. ferguson and paul possible starters this season.

stewart sounds good too. and possibly even could push young as a starter???

hunter and hamilton should be good depth.

and then obviously the first round pick next year. if penix struggles, atlanta could be in a lot of trouble.

the more i read. this guy could be a three down backer. best inside backer for the rams in a long time. he just needs to get stronger.

so what holes do they still have to fill?

corner?
oline depth?
maybe another wr?

i keep hearing and reading impressive things about this guy. in a different era, he’d probably go much higher. if he were a little bigger and faster he’d go higher, but he’s got everything else. so i like this pick.

well. looks like they used one to move up.

he’s young and he should get a lot stronger too.

Friday, he alluded to Ferguson’s addition potentially helping him scheme “some different things” into his offense, including more 12 personnel but also utilizing Ferguson in the hybrid receiver role out of 11 personnel that McVay has designed for some of his players in the past.

Turning 26, 90, and 101 into a weapon at tight end, a rotational pass rusher, and a 2026 first-round pick is great work by Rams.

well put.

i see jaylin lane is still available.

i’m hoping the rams pick him if he’s available.

it’d be wild if they picked milroe…

but i’m guessing corner or ilb also in play?
