JackPMillerParticipantEbukam and Littleton are expected to be playing big roles for this team next year. I believe not only we traded Ogletree and Quinn for cap relief, but if Wade and the coached did not feel like they could play, and start, Tree, or Quinn would still be here.
JackPMillerParticipantI like the WRs we have. I hope we don’t trade for O’Dell
JackPMillerParticipantI wonder where we are salary cap wise? Hmmm?
JackPMillerParticipantnow, the rams must draft kolton miller.
I like Martinas Rankin more. That is just me.
JackPMillerParticipantJackPMillerParticipantI would like our first pick to be a future LOT. Just saying
JackPMillerParticipantJosh Sweat I have graded as a late 2nd to early 4th round pick.
JackPMillerParticipantWe need to get OLine in this draft. No way we can go two straight years of not drafting an OLineman. That is bad drafting practices. We got to get one early. even if we got to get one in round three. My wish is we can trade out of round 1, and pick up some picks draft our future LOT in round 2, plus pick up an extra late third to early fourth round pick.
JackPMillerParticipantComing here on a cheap deal? A 1 year, $1 million deal with incentives? Just dreaming.
JackPMillerParticipantThe Philadelphia Eagles are still the defending Super Bowl champions. Plus, they got better. And we need to figure out how to beat them, the Falcons, and the Vikings before we can think about going to the Super Bowl.
JackPMillerParticipantMy guess it will be for a Josh, as in Allen or Rosen.
JackPMillerParticipantRIP, Tom Benson.
Back in the day, when the NFC West was the Rams, 9er’s, Falcons and Saints, I always hated the 9er’s and Falcons, but had a soft spot in my heart for the Saints. They had some great 3-4 D’s back then.
It took TB to get them to a Super Bowl. Glad I got to see it.
My issue with the Saints is they had a Voodoo Princess put a hex on us. We have had bad luck for years. They could not do it for the other 30 NFL teams, but they chose us. That made me mad. Now we need to find a Vestal virgin, or burn herbs, or something. I want to see our Rams win Super Bowls. That is what I want. I want our Rams to be the first NFL team to threepeat, and better. Just saying.
JackPMillerParticipantIt’s something teams do. Sometimes they talk to these rookies just in case they may slide. I expect more rookies to come in and talk.
Also, don’t be shocked if we draft some players that we didn’t talk to.
JackPMillerParticipantJust like Carrier, I could be wrong on the numbers, but he may be getting $10 million plus a year, but we have to wait to hear in the figures and all.
JackPMillerParticipantKind of a waste of a 7th round pick. Not that they are worth much, but sheesh.
He could be getting $10 million a year. Then again, I don’t know. Everything is so secretive. I could be wrong though. Just waiting to hear on how much he is getting from the Raiders.
JackPMillerParticipantWhat is surprising, is no one ate a slice. You would of thunk a couple of slices would be gone. I see he likes pepperoni, my favorite type of pizza is buffalo chicken.
JackPMillerParticipantIf that is the case, then these GMs asking questions like the one to Deron Gueise, about if he likes men, or if his mother is a prostitute.
Since they are all the familiar.
JackPMillerParticipantWhat did you think of Black Panther?
JackPMillerParticipantI’d rather wait till the later rounds to get our edge rusher. Chad Thomas, Lorenzo Carter, Darius Jackson and Tyquan Lewis are expected to be 3rd day picks. Carter and Thomas areexpected to be mid 3rd to mid 4 round picks.
I’d prefer to trade out of round 1, if possible, and go into the 2nd round, and draft a future LT.
JackPMillerParticipantSeahawks trade Bennett to Eagles. I saw it was for a 5th round pick and a WR that doesn’t play.
And you want a 4th round pick for Tavon Austin?
See…that’s not happening.
If there is a demand for Austin. Why not give it a shot? A team may want to secure his services.
Maybe the demand for Bennett was not what people think.
JackPMillerParticipantIf four teams are interested, one of them, may get greedy and trade a 4th round pick. With the Steelers and Ravens it is more of a late 4th. The Jets have no really talented WRs for which rookie QB they draft to throw to.
JackPMillerParticipantPackers trading Damarious Randall for Browns’ Kizer
By Around The NFL staff NFL.comNFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported late Friday afternoon Damarious Randall is set to be traded from the Green Bay Packers to the Cleveland Browns. A few minutes later, Rapoport revealed the compensation: quarterback DeShone Kizer.
Per Rapoport, the Packers will send Randall to the Browns in exchange for Kizer. In addition, Rapoport reported the two teams will swap picks in the fourth and fifth rounds in next month’s draft, with Green Bay moving up in both. The trade cannot be officially completed until Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET — the start of the new league year.
The 30th overall pick in the 2015 draft, Randall’s career in Green Bay started off promising. The DB played in 15 games, starting nine, and logged three picks and 14 pass breakups in that rookie season. The following two seasons, though, Randall played in a total of just 24 of a possible 32 games. He battled groin and knee injuries, and in a Week 4 win over the Bears this past season, Randall was benched after an argument with an assistant coach. With the deadline for the Packers to decide whether they want to pick up his 2019 fifth-year option coming up on May 2, Green Bay faced a tough decision on the DB’s future. By agreeing to trade him Friday, that choice no longer needs to be made.
On the other end of the deal, Rapoport reported on NFL Total Access the Packers “really liked Kizer in the draft last year,” and once he became expendable with the Browns’ trade agreement for Bills QB Tyrod Taylor, Green Bay clearly saw an opportunity to get him.
The trade for Kizer could spell the end of Brett Hundley’s time as Aaron Rodgers’ backup. Playing in the future Hall of Famer’s stead this past year, Hundley struggled more than he succeeded, posting a 70.6 quarterback rating in 11 games. Kizer represents an opportunity for a better insurance policy if Rodgers’ body can’t hold up for a full slate of games in 2018.
JackPMillerParticipantI only follow the local news. That is it. I don’t trust any of the big news stations, like Fox News, MSNBC, CNN, etc. They are one sided, and play to an audience. Of course that equals money.
JackPMillerParticipantHe looks like a pretty good linebacker Jack, but he re-signed with the Redskins on Jan. 25.
Ugh. Thanks for letting me know. I’ll have to see what other LBs are out there. At least ones that we can afford.
JackPMillerParticipantTrader Les may not be done yet. More could be coming, with maneuvering with more draft picks, getting free agent LBs could be next. Mason Foster is still out there. Just saying.

JackPMillerParticipantthey could sign williamson for the other ilb spot. only 25.
Who is williamson?
..
avery williamson
I’m looking at Mason Foster myself. Love to see the Rams sign him.
JackPMillerParticipantAnd if he could restructure?
If by “restructure” you mean the fan fantasy of asking players to give back money from their contracts…uh, no.
Why would he do that.
The coaches and GM knew what his contract was. There were other ways to handle this that would have cost less (draft pick). They traded for his contract and if the cap doesn;t work (though it probably will) that;s on the GM and coaches. Players aren’t obligated to get the coaches and GM off the hook that way.
Restructure doesn’t mean a cut in salary. Hell still get his money, but it will be more in a signing bonus, or something, but the got will look less for us though.
JackPMillerParticipantThey still have Westbrook’s and Easley with longacre coming off back surgery.
Easley is a free agent. Hopefully we will sign him though. Shouldn’t cost much to sign him because of injury.
JackPMillerParticipantNo way it was going to be a first. It is a 5th round pick.
I do wonder what his salary is? And if he could restructure?
JackPMillerParticipantI could critique this, but I know Orlando Brown fell all the way to the late 5th round if lucky.

Some combine notes and thoughts
Im in the middle of a blizzard and am finishing up the combine. So I thought I would share some thoughts before Im busy digging out.
I will update with the CBs after I am finished with them. But some early winners were:
Josh Jackson running a 4.49
Jaire Alexander @ 5′-10″ 196 lbs running a 4.38 (i thought he was smaller then that)
Carlton Davis running a 4.53 (he still plays slower then that)
Fitzpatrick running a 4.46 @ 6′ 205 was very good.
Oliver @ 6′ 200 4.51 was good.
Justin Reid – 4.40 at 6′ 207 was nice
Davontae Harris measured and ran very wellSome CB losers early on:
Kam Kelly was slow 4.66
Tarvarus McFadden – showed why he had a bad year – 4.67 was not good. he’s losing money every day.
Kevin Tolliver didn’t run but he has the arm length of a 5′-9″ CB not 6′-2″…Maybe only interesting to me?As far as possible Rams targets:
OL:
Kolton Miller – LT – UCLA – He had himself a weekend. Tested out of his mind and looked smooth in drills. He was one of the guys I needed to see more of and I came away impressed. His sub 5 40 with a 6′-9″ 310 lb frame with a 1.67 10 yard split was impressive. 24 reps @ 6′-9″ showed strength and his 34″ arms are good for a LT.
Braden Smith OG – Auburn – as a middle round guard had a good weekend. Tested well but looked real smooth in drills.
James Daniels – OC – Iowa – looked very good in drills. With Price’s injury, he should be the top drafted OC.
Billy Price – OC – Ohio State – torn pec, will be ready by training camp, drops into the 2nd round IMO
Mike McGlinchy – LT – ND – Did what he needed to do IMO to remain in the 1st round.
Orlando Brown – fat, slow and was actually yelled at for lack of effort. RT only and I wouldn’t touch him until late day 2.LB:
Sam Hubbard – Let me get him out the way first. I just don’t see him as a standup OLB in a 3-4. Maybe in a run support roll like Barwin, but he isn’t getting home. I like him as a 4-3 DE like a poor man’s Chris Long.
Harold Landry – he measured in just fine and looked as smooth as anyone in drills. I was concerned about his size, he answered those questions. I like him as a top Rams target now that the Rams need an edge rusher.
Marcus Davenport – I think he is too raw to go top 10, but he is athletic as all get out and looked smooth in drills. I think he would work as a 3-4 Edge.
Dorance Armstrong – slower 40 time, but looked good in drills – I think a 2nd rounder.
Leighton Vander Esch – New leader in the clubhouse at ILB, unless you count Tremaine Edmunds ( I would) He was impressive in drills.
Roquan Smith – I think he ends up being a 4-3 Will or a 3-4 ILB. A tad undersized @ 6′-1″ 235.
Rashaad Evans – See Smith, Roquan. He was as good in drills as any LBer. Solidified a 1st round grade IMO.
Josh Sweat – man did he perform, makes you wonder why he was so pedestrian at FSU doesn’t it. – Day 2 pick.
Lorenzo Carter – He was lights out and I thought he was a 2nd to early 3rd round pick. I he did nothing to change that.
Josey jewell – Can be had in the 3rd or 4th round (so 3rd for the Rams)
Shaquem Griffin – Not a Rams target, but some 4-3 team is gonna get a heck of a 4-3 will. 1 note, his 4.38 was impressive, but you have to remember whose record he broke – Jon Alston, so 40 times re not everything.
Arden Key – measured in well, I am still leary of him.DL:
Vita Vea – tweaked hammy – no big deal. Top DT/NT in draft.
Da’Ron Payne – He was an animal out there with a sub 5 40 and looked great in drills.
Taven Bryan – Another outstanding combine performance. I liked late in the 1st. I said it before, if you want to move Brockers back inside, he is your DE.
Tim Settle – had a rough weekend. 3rd or 4th round steal.
Harrison Phillips – I had him higher on my top 5 pre-combine board then anyone. He justified his position. looked very good.
Breeland Speaks – He made some money IMO. Scheme flexible. 3-4 DE later day 2.TE:
Mike Gesicki – has me rethinking my position of Goedert as the top TE (not really) but he closed the gap. He’s a 2 round TE.
Hayden Hurst – also solidified his 2nd round status.
Mark Andrews – I like him – late 2nd early 3rd. had a decent showing.
Durham Smythe – Slowest TE that ran and short broad jump. Rough weekend. Day 3 for sure.RBs – If the Rams are serious about a RB – there should be a good one drop to them later in the draft. One guy that could provide a nice change of pace was Chase Edmonds – 5′-9″ 205 lbs – looked really athletic in the position drills. Caught the ball really well.
As I have repeated over and over – I do not get to gaga on the combine. I use it as a tool inmy toolbox. Its there to reinforce what I think I have seen or makes me go back and take a second look at someone, or makes me look at someone I overlooked.
