Rodrigue: “Great for the Rams because they can’t draft corners”

I’m not a Kyler Murray fan, but saw this stat. He has the 6th most passing yards since 2019.

He was behind only: Mahomes, Dak, Herbert, Josh, Lamar.

Chiefs fans seem very happy with the deal. Haven’t come across a single disgruntled Chiefs fan, regarding the trade.

Rams fans seem to like the trade too. Except for Zooey. But then Zooey wanted Amp Lee instead of Marshall Faulk as i recall.

“All in”

Humpback Whales seem to be the onliest animals to seek out and fight mammal-eating-orcas. (not all orcas are ‘mammal-eating’. Some orcas only eat fish)

All true.

I make rice n beans every week. I alternate. One batch with red, the next with black.

McShay and Mike Mayock on the Eisen show alluded to the odd thing about this draft — the blue-chip players in this draft tend to be at positions that are not the premium-positions. “Do you take a guard or a safety or linebacker or a RB with a top ten pick?”

You would think they would be tempted to take that RB guy if he is still there at 13. I can’t imagine he will get by the Chiefs, though. But stranger things have happened.

Yeah, the kid from Notre Dame – Love.

USA Today’s latest mock has the Rams taking a WR and a QB.

I cant totally dismiss it as ridiculous either, since I have read people raving about Denzel Boston. Some folks have him as the best WR in the bunch.

13. Los Angeles Rams (from Atlanta Falcons) – WR Denzel Boston, Washington

LA had the league’s No. 1 passing game in 2025 – in large part due to Puka Nacua’s heroics. But Davante Adams, 33, was the only other productive wideout and battled injuries late in the season and is only under contract for one more year. Boston (6-4, 212) is the kind of supersized red-zone target (20 TD catches since 2024) and boundary receiver who could provide an easy transition from Adams while perfectly complementing Nacua.

29. Rams – QB Ty Simpson, Alabama

An organization that hasn’t had multiple first-round picks since 2014 is in the enviable position of bolstering the roster around QB Matthew Stafford in a bid to make up just a bit of ground on the Super Bowl champion Seahawks … or maybe use some of that capital on a successor for Stafford. Simpson might be that guy even though injuries and inconsistency – including an atypically weaker Crimson Tide roster – caused him to tail off after a strong start in 2025. With only 15 college starts, landing in a spot where he could sit and watch for a year or two – or three – while absorbing first-class tutelage would be hugely beneficial.

this is a really deep draft at CB. It’s not as flashy at the top as some CB drafts, but it’s solid. Rams need to add more than one anyway. They may not get the best one but they need to get at least 2 good 1s, and they can.

It will be interesting to see their strategy. (its easy to trust them, given their draft success in the past). I mean, Someone special might drop down to 13 or be in range for a small trade-up. What do they do, then? Stick with CB or would they take a difference-maker at another position?

Maybe they take 3 CBs. I dunno.

I dont want Ponds, the 5’9″ kid. Great athlete, but i am still scarred by the 79 Super Bowl. I dont want anymore teeny-tiny great-athletes at CB.

So, if Jimmy G ends up in Arizona with Mike LaFleur, what do the Rams do about back-up QB ?

If stafford were to go out for a few weeks, do they trust Stetson Bennett as the guy?

Every game matters in a possible-ring year, as we saw this year. Home field and the bye could be on the line again, with one loss at the wrong time.
