We draftniks will spend the next 3 months eagerly following the Combine, Pro Days and team visits in an effort to rank prospects and predict which players might end up on the Rams.

In my opinion, though, there is no greater predictor of NFL success than the Senior Bowl.

Clearly, the Rams value this "audition" as well, as they have historically selected a large number of Senior Bowl standouts. Last year, by way of example, the Rams drafted 6 Senior Bowl participants (Fiske, Kinchens, B.Jackson, Limmer, Karty, Davis).

I'll have a lot of thoughts and observations as the week progresses (and hope others will as well). As a starting thought, I'm interested in seeing how the Second Tier of QBs fares. Cam Ward (Miami) and Shedeur Sanders (Colorado), who are both expected to go before the Rams' selection, won't be there. Two who will be, though, and could be intriguing options if the Rams are in the market of their "QB of the future" are Jalen Milroe (Alabama) and Jaxon Dart (Ole Miss). Both are rated as Day 2 prospects by most, but a strong week could cause either or both to rise.

Who's on your watch list?

It is def part of the Rams secret sauce. Draft players that are leaders, smart, competitive, mature and love love football.

Looking forward to all the college all-star games, but the Senior Bowl the most. I hope we can see Jaxon Dart, I like what I have seen so far.

That secret sauce definitely isn't so secret anymore. The senior bowl has become much bigger over the years and with NIL, more players are staying through their senior year.

But it still is a great predictor of who the Rams will draft.

True but can it be easily duplicated by other teams. I mean the nuance part. The Rams have been doing this for awhile and still many "experts" faulted the Rams for trading up to get Fiske.
