I ended up with this draft, with a mock draft simulator

R2-36: Steve Availa G/C TCU

R3-69: Zach Harrison Edge Ohio State

R3-77: Eli Ricks CB Alabama

R5-167: Davis Allen TE Clemson

R5-171: Jaxson Kirland OT/OG Washington

R6-177: Johnathan Mingo WR Mississippi

R6-182: Branden Joseph S Notre Dame

R6-189: Mekhi Garner CB LSU

R7-191: Chris Rodrigues RB Kentucky

R7-223: Brayden Willis TE Oklahoma

R7-251: Jake Moody PK Michigan

This would be an A+ Draft in my mind, if we got this draft.

I’m not saying Stafford will be going, but it is, what if it happens scenario? In the trade, we get the Jet’s 13th pick, plus the Jets 1st and 2nd picks round next year. This is the draft I got, R1-13: Broderick Jones OT Georgia R2-36: Steve Availa OC/OG TCU R3-69: Zach Harrison Edge OSU R3-77: Eli Ricks CB Alabama R5-167: Kendra Miller RB TCU R5-171: Aiden O’Connell QB Purdue R6-177: Davis Allen TE Clemson R6-182: Aubrey Jackson LB Jackson State R6-189: Dylan Horton Edge TCU R7-191: Quindell Johnson S Memphis R7-223: Elijah Higgins WR Stanford R7-251: Brayden Willis TE Oklahoma I doubled up on Edge, and TE.

I don’t think anyone is giving up a 1st for Matt Stafford at this point… And now, the Larch.

I never said Stafford was going to get traded. Again, it is one of those, What if he did?

Rams have one month to get under the cap. Two moves can get them there.

It doesn’t take an expert to understand the Los Angeles Rams aren’t in the best shape salary cap-wise. They’re currently $14.1 million over the salary cap, which has been set at $224.8 million for the 2023 season. It’s not an issue that they’re over the limit right now because the new league year doesn’t start for another month. On March 15, however, they have to be under the cap, per league rules. They’re also not the only team with more than $224.8 million allocated to players at the moment. There are 13 other teams that are over the cap, too. With one month until the deadline, the Rams need to make some moves to clear up some space. Whether that’s releasing players or restructuring their contracts, there are multiple avenues to freeing up money. Two simple moves can get them under the cap before March 15, and it doesn’t require them to release anyone. First, they can restructure Cooper Kupp’s contract, thus creating $14.19 million in cap space. That almost gets them under the cap right there. The second move they can make is restructuring Bobby Wagner’s contract, which would save them another $7.75 million in 2023. After those moves, the Rams would have $7.82 million in cap space, according to Over The Cap. It would make sense for them to tweak those two contracts because it’s highly unlikely that the Rams want to move on from either player anytime soon. If they restructure Aaron Donald’s deal, it’ll cause some pain in 2024 in the event that he retires. A restructure of Matthew Stafford’s contract would only save $251,250 in 2023, so his deal isn’t worth touching. Leonard Floyd could conceivably be a cap casualty, and there are rumors swirling about the possibility of dealing Jalen Ramsey. Kupp should be on the team for at least the next two years, and the same goes for Wagner. It’s better to restructure the contract of a player who is expected to be on the roster in the coming years than one who could be cut in the near future.

I’m not sure if I want to restructure Aaron Donald’s contract. I believe Matthew Stafford, Aaron Donald, and Head Coach Sean McVay will retire after this season, Donald’s cap number will be a killer, if we do it,

There is talk that if DeMaco Ryans takes either the Houston Texans or Denver Broncos HC job. Ejiro Evero will get the one Ryans doesn’t take. It’s looking Harbaugh is going back to Michigan, and Sean Payton is going back to TV.
