I’d draft Donald. No questgion.

Then package him with a dozen 1st round draft picks to trade for Chris Massey.

The Genocide as documented by the ‘Genociders’.

Still mad about the way McVay owned Pete Carroll, huh?

This.

Obviously McVay’s success has to be due to the new NFL rules and not to his coaching genius…

Rules specifically crafted by the jealous members of the rules committee to hamstring the brilliant Pete Carroll.

It’s like wv isn’t even trying to hide it anymore.

Each pick was highly regarded and for a position of need. No reaches. Hard to find fault with it.

Dane Brugler, over at The Athletic, ranked all the drafts by teams, and he placed the Rams at 24 (and the 9ers at 25), fwiw, but I don’t find anything the Rams did (or didn’t do) to quibble with. They drafted for need, and all their picks “check out.”

Well, that’s just cuckoo.

This was a great draft, from both a need and value standpoint.

AD’s retirement was a blow, but IF the players they selected are as good as advertised, then the Rams did as much as possible to mitigate that loss.  Include the FA signings, and I think this is a better team overall, even without AD.

Same here.  It’s a crime against humanity that he isn’t in the HOF.

When Israel bombed the first hospital in Gaza, the world wouldn’t believe it and Israel blamed a misfired rocket from Hamas…

Israel has now destroyed all 36 hospitals in Gaza including its largest medical facility the al-Shifa Hospital…

Rule has been tweaked.  Kicks into the end zone will now be placed at the 30 yard line instead of the 35.

whoa, that's a big change https://t.co/ZfWyvvWCNi

The closet Seahawks fan is out of the closet. Again.

Apparently the giddiness generated by Donald’s retirement is starting to wane. Now he’s compensating by fantasizing about Stafford getting hurt.  What’s next, Puka going blind?

Kroenke needs to erect a Ring of Honor in SoFi and Donald needs to be the first person on it.  He should have a statue outside the main entrance as well.

Of course it’s a step down from Wentz but he can win a game in a pinch as a spot starter.

so that’s one db. so edge rush, one more cornerback at least. defensive end. running back. maybe another wide receiver? is there anything else?

I’m thrilled about the additions so far.

But going into the offseason pass rush was their biggest need IMO.  There are some great edge rushers in the draft but I hope they can sign a proven vet DE/edge rusher.

McVay joins competition committee.

an improved Puka Nacua (is that even possible?).

Well he did lead the league in drops. And I saw break downs of his play where analysts pointed out that he wasn’t an accomplished route runner in 23 (he often telegraphed routes and would slow down going into hard cuts). So yes you would think he could improve if he works on things in the off-season and in camp.

Ah yes, the drops. I forgot about them.

Also, he gets tackled too often.

According to PFF, he was tackled every time he had the ball except for when he scored or ran out of bounds.

That’s just unacceptable and reflects a lack of commitment and work ethic. He needs to look into his soul and decide whether he wants to be a football player or just another LA socialite.

Umm…..how many attendees at the Ram games were actually Ram fans?

The same thought crossed my mind. It’s all the same to Kroenke, of course. Doesn’t much matter who the fans are; the color of the money is green. It will take a generation to rebuild a dedicated fan base, though they did not start with nothing. And LA will always be LA. It ain’t Green Bay. LA has 2 NFL teams, 2 MLB, 2 NBA, 2 NHL, 2 MLS, 2 NCAA FB. Never mind all the non-sports attractions. That’s just the competition for sports identity. And LA is so big, it has fans of all those NFL teams there, and if their team shows up in LA once every 8 years, they’re all going to go. Green Bay, WI just doesn’t have that many “ex-pats” living there. In any event, that chart is TOTAL attendance, both home and away, it should be noted. Here is AVERAGE home attendance. I use avg instead of total because some teams had 8 home games (Rams), and some had 9. (The Rams are at 6, the Chargers at 14).

The stadium having a large proportion of fans of the visiting team has always been a thing at LA Rams games, right?  Even in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s – ever since it’s been easy to travel, and it’s always going to be that way no matter what.  LA is a destination city.  Fans from other cities don’t travel there just to see the game.  They also want to see all the attractions.

Now, the embarrassing “60% 9ers fans” BS can and has to end. The Rams should be able to develop a following large enough so that they at least have the majority of fans in any given NFC Championship game they host at SoFi.  But some visiting teams will always have a large contingent of fans in the stands. That’s just the way it is.

Ah. Thanks zn.
