First the set-up then the question. Rams drafted Deacon Jones in the 14th round in 1961. They spotted him on film because they were scouting another player, a running back for a team Jones played against. Scouts kept seeing Jones show up in the film. One reason Jones was so hidden from view is because he played for Mississippi Vocational College. 2 years before, he played for South Carolina State, but got kicked off the team. The question. Why did Jones get kicked off the South Carolina State team? .

It was do to a Civil Rights protest, he attended.

I think the Rams have bigger needs at CB and Edge, but I won’t complain if they sign this guy. Good players are good to have, I’ve always believed.

We had issues against the run. Teams were running up the middle against us. Wagner, may be able to help with that.

I still would like to sign Solomon Thomas, to a one year cheap deal. I feel with us, he could revive his career.

I would not mind signing Tre Flowers or Vernon Hargreaves for our veteran CB opposite of Jalen Ramsey.

I’d consider giving Solomon Thomas a one year, cheap deal. I know there has been a bust label on him, but the kid is 26, and has some talent. Put him on A.D.’s side, and I get the feeling, he’ll have a breakout type of year.

The Rams liked Bobby Wagner in the 2012 draft, but Les Snead got cute and traded down, only for the Seahawks to take him two picks later.

The Rams now have a chance to add him, and they should https://t.co/EuPedisbBt

Rams traded: Goff + 2 first round picks + third rounder = Stafford (1 player + 3 picks for Stafford) Denver traded: a starting DT Shelby Harris + TE Noah Font + starting QB Drew Lock + 2 first rounders + 2 second rounders + 1 fifth rounder = Russell Wilson (3 players + 5 picks for Wilson)

You mean, the Broncos are getting, Russell Wilson & a 4th round pick, in this draft.

So what are we expecting as far as Comp picks? —

• Fifth-round pick (own)
• Seventh-round pick (own)
• Seventh-round pick (via Miami in Aqib Talib trade)

We get a 3rd for Brad Holmes going to Detroit last year, to be their GM. He was a minority candidate.

Expected(rumored)

4th round pick for John Johnson

6th round pick for Samson Ebukam

6th round pick for for Gerald Everett

6th round pick for Troy Hill

Any word on Ag? I hope he’s OK.

My idea for what this team needs, a future at LT, hopefully get a cheap vet. Noteboom, doesn’t have a history of durability issues.

Alaric Jackson, I predict, is the future at ROT. One player, I do have in mind, as a future LOT. if we draft him, in Kellen Diesch of Arizona State, he is someone that we may drop to us in the 4th round. I feel he could kick inside, at Guard to start, while grooming him, to be the future LOT. I am a big fan of Nick Ford of Utah as well. He has played Center the past two years.  But he can play Guard as well.

I did this Rams mock from the draft simulator
https://thedraftnetwork.com/mock-draft-machine

103. Channing Tindall LB Georgia
141. Kellen Diesch OT Arizona State
174. Isaac Taylor-Stuart CB USC
209. Brittain Brown RB UCLA
210. Nick Ford OC/OG Utah
212. Quentin Lake S UCLA
235. Avery Roberts LB Oregon State
250. De’Jahn Warren CB Jackson State

What will this team look like in 2022?

There are too many questions. Such as,

1. Will Aaron Donald retire?

• If he does, Not only the Rams lose the heart and soul of the defense, but also are stuck with a $21M cap hit.

2.  Will McVay leave?

• I doubt he does. But if he does. Who ends up as the Head Coach? Raheem Morris? Brian Flores? wv ram? zn? someone else?
• What kind of offense would we run?
• What kind of defense would we run?

3. Who stays, who goes?

• Of our free agents, who do we resign?
• On our roster, of signed players, do we trade or cut anyone, and who?

4. Who restructures?

5. Who extends?

6. Who do we get in free agency?

7. Who do we draft?

If somehow both McVay and AD do retire, we will struggle to make the playoffs. It may take another 20 years before we get back to another Super Bowl.
