    Good luck, Roger.

    yes. i wish him well. wish he coulda stayed.

    i am excited about noteboom, however. he should be fine. but i am worried about center. don’t know if allen is ready or not.

    one other thought on weddle. he’ll be good for goff. not only competing against him, but goff can pick his brain on all things coverage related. understand what secondaries are thinking and trying to do to him. maybe even work on weaknesses that weddle sees in his game.

    Weddle: “I reached out to JJ as soon as I signed here.” Adds wanted to let John Johnson know how much he was looking forward to working together. #LARams

    he and jj should be something special together.

    maybe the final piece to that secondary no offense to joyner.

    just gotta solidify that dline. and then add an edge rusher. hoping okoronkwo brings it next year.

    shoot i hope tillery or lawrence drop.

    97. Maxx Crosby, EDGE, Eastern Michigan

    crosby had a good combine. good short shuttle and 3-cone.

    arms are 32 7/8″. wish it was an inch longer. but might be worth a look in the third.

    see now i woulda rather spent the money on barr. he signed for about 5 years at less than 16 per?

    i woulda offered him that. then put him at edge rusher, and i think he blossoms.

    i like tillery a lot.

    his length. his speed. his strength.

    i mean. rams would be fortunate to get him at 31.

    and still raw. you keep hearing about his motor. when he matches that with skill. when it all clicks. i think he’s got a chance to be special. gotta remember this guy switched from offense to defense when he got to notre dame.

    but given that how does he fall to the 31st pick?

    on a more serious note. that video of him punching a woman in the streets does trouble me.

    But, I don’t care what other people think when I have my own ideas.

    how dare you have your own ideas?

    now listen.

    i just wish i coulda seen him at the combine.

    get some measurements. length. speed. explosion. agility.

    i was just joking but the way. in case that didn’t come across. you’re perfectly welcome to have your own ideas however ridiculous they may be. ha!

    I was disappointed in Suh.

    i woulda rather kept suh for one more year than fowler.

    but it all depends on the draft. maybe they figure they can get a blue chip dl prospect in the first round and then an edge rusher later. then you got a bunch of edge rushers you can rotate and a dlineman you can plug in right away with donald and brockers.

    basically i’m guessing they think their chances of getting a top notch dlineman with the first pick is much higher than getting a top notch edge rusher with the same pick.

    But I want a dynamic, Kevin Greene type guy on the edge.

    i’m just not happy with the signing at all.

    now i realize that an impact pass rusher woulda cost more than 14 million.

    but i just don’t think fowler was worth even 14 million. i don’t know. we’ll see.

    I do kind of lean toward Dline.

    yeah i’m pretty much focusing in on dline. whoever that is.

    i haven’t read as much on simmons.

    i’m nervous about the knee. and i don’t really know anything about his athleticism and length. i just know he’s projected as a first round pick by most.

    I want Tillery. Everyone else wants the fat kid.

    honestly. i’d be happy with either one.

    i’m beginning to wonder if either of them will even be there.

    i still think brockers has value on this team.

    i don’t like this fowler signing though. not even at one year. either they didn’t like anyone in free agency or there wasn’t enough interest on the other end. or the numbers were too high for their liking. maybe they see something in fowler, but i wasn’t impressed with what i saw on the field.

    his short shuttle and 3-cone times were terrible.

    i’d let him walk.

    He’s also a strong locker room leader and can help younger players like John Johnson III and Marcus Peters in the secondary.

    yeah, like i said. especially with jj. what kind of an impact can playing with a guy like weddle have on a young promising player?

    he was ranked 7th by pff in 2018. i believe he was 8th in 2017. i’m not sure.

    now playing alongside a veteran with his wealth of knowledge and experience. could he vault into the top 5? maybe even higher? that’s what has me really excited. still doesn’t turn 24 until this december.

    John Johnson III’s 84.3 overall grade last season ranked 6th among safeties

    yeah. this is the key. if he can take another step and be an elite safety. and weddle can be just a modest improvement over lamarcus. defensive backfield could be set. i think weddle could be very good for jj to take that next step.

    Am still hoping for Dexter Lawrence in the Draft, or Brian Burns. Neither, however, is likely to be there at 31.

    they are at the top of my list as well.

    another guy would be tillery. move brockers back to nose tackle and plug tillery in at de.

    and there’s plenty of edge rushers. someone will fall.

    i also want 2 new edge rushers. ideally one vet fa signing and a rookie. and then you have ebukam and okoronkwo competing as well for playing time.

    jerry tillery. shoot. if he could be a chris jones caliber player, i’ll take that.

    You want Talib and Weddle for their smarts and leadership, and both can still play. But Weddle has not been making big plays recently.

    Last year in 16 games Weddle had 0 INTs and 3 PDs, compared to 2017, when he had 6 and 8 respectively.

    yeah. mostly leadership and consistency. if he can be just a modest improvement over the joyner of last season i’ll be happy especially at a lower salary.

    pff graded weddle 10th and joyner 28th last season. and obviously this is only one way to measure them. i don’t know why joyner slipped last year. i don’t know if it was mental or physical or chemistry. who knows. but hopefully weddle can just bring that much more consistency. and if jj can make strides at the other safety spot (he was ranked 7th by pff), i’ll take that. i really do think jj has just a bit more potential left to tap. maybe enough to make up for whatever athleticism weddle may have lost to age.

    i’d like to see them sign anthony barr and then draft best dlineman available at 31.

    drool.

    draft another pass rusher in the later rounds. and a defensive back.

    i like it. a little worried about his age but was the supposed qb of the number one defense last year?

    but had zero interceptions last year…

    from a leadership standpoint he should add something.

    yeah. i think burns unfortunately will be long gone.

    lawrence has a chance of dropping due to the positive test result.

    Just puttin the obvious in black n white. But. Kiser take’s Littleton’s spot and Littleton takes Barron’s spot.

    yes. which i think might be a better fit for littleton.

    really hope kiser is the answer. then they need to address outside linebacker.

    this is gonna be a big test for the front office.

    I don’t want to draft a LBer, Safety, CB, or Offensive player in the first round in this year’s draft. I am going Dline, Edge, or trade down

    i agree except for oline. i think protecting goff is paramount. so they better be sure allen is ready. and noteboom if saffold leaves.

    For all you Dexter lover’s

    haha.

    seriously though. he’s got the size. 6’4″ 340 lbs. length. 34 3/4″ arms. by the way he lifted 225 36 times with those insanely long arms. and his legs carried those 340 pounds 40 yards in 5.05 seconds. i just wish he coulda finished the rest of the workout.

    i think he’s got more pass rush potential than we might think. but more than that just occupying blockers and collapsing the pocket, he’ll make everyone else better. his closest comparison would be linval joseph or even haloti ngata.

    you don’t find guys who can generate his kind of power. shoot. ask him to drop 10 pounds, and he’ll still be able to generate an insane of power while gaining some more quickness.

    Lawrence is ok. I just think Simmons and Tillery are better. I am fine with keeping Brockers, too. I think the Rams will use the first round draft choice on some kind of pass rusher. imo
    Simmons and Tillery have some pass rush in them, more than Lawrence. They can play DE in a 3-4. They said Tillery can even do a bit of LBer. Simmons can play a 3 technique.

    they should go best player available. if that’s simmons or tillery so be it.

    or if they trade down, that’s cool too.

    even an edge rusher. even if they re-sign fowler or get a fa. not sure ebukam is the answer and who knows about okoronkwo. even of that edge rusher is in the middle rounds. they need four guys who can legitimately compete for playing time on the edges.

    tillery at linebacker would be wild. what intrigues me about tillery is he came to notre dame as an offensive lineman, so he’s relatively raw compared to other prospects, but he’s also got that disposition you want in a defensive lineman.
