Looks like the Rams plan to run the football. I wonder what RBs they have their eyes on.

good question. i do wonder if the rams still like evans.

in the draft tyrone tracy jr sounds intriguing. athletically he’s off the charts. but he’ll turn 25 this year so he could drop.

brian burns 30 million a year with the giants. i guess this sets the market for edge rushers?

have the rams tendered alaric jackson?

last i heard they were still deciding.

colby parkinson. at first glance he looks like the makings of another kevin dotson type acquisition. under the radar. lots of potential. hopefully realizes it with the rams.

already a highly rated blocker but tons of potential as a pass catcher. i like it. still very young.

whoa!

rams sign jonah jackson guard.

colby parkinson tight end.

these sound like very good signings.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

Taliese Fuaga met with the #Rams over the last few days. Watching him handle Laiatu Latu with ease during the Senior Bowl makes this stuff so difficult. The difference in a top-10 pick, and a pick in the 19-20 range. pic.twitter.com/8x1kX7cjbe

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.
