I can't believe it's still a month until the draft...

I can, it ALWAYS takes forever to arrive!! Move it to the beginning of April

But really, the NFL has made it a 12 month thing for fans. Just gotta have a little patience .

Superbowl then a break.
Rumors (Kupp gone) and free agency.
Then a break.
Combine, senior bowl, more rumors then the draft.
Then the schedule
Then rookie camps where practically everybody "looks great".
More free agency then OTAs.
Then a break
Then camp.....and before gou know it .....the season starts!!!

Yep it is a 12 month season, just would love to move the draft up 2-3 weeks, free agency doesnt require all the time it use too.

I watched enough Ewers this past season (hoping to see Arch get some snaps) to know that I wouldn't want him as my franchise QB. He's another Stetson Bennett.

Jourdan thinks they're gonna try to draft a QB:

I also believe the team will try to draft a quarterback to get a young potential future starter in the room behind veteran star Matthew Stafford. They need to look at the second or third round in that case.

...

Quarterback
Rodrigue: There will be specific traits the Rams and especially McVay look for in their evaluations of any potential draft pick. First, I don’t get the impression that they weigh a more veteran prospect with as much concern, though injury history is important. Second, the player must be able to throw in rhythm and “on time”, meaning they can execute within the unique and specific timing of the offense, including quick and anticipatory throws. The player should have some ability to read a non-static defense, although McVay’s scheme can set a young player up to not have to do as much at the line of scrimmage if necessary. While he doesn’t have to be a quarterback around whom entire run packages are built, the ability to pick up “gimme” yards and present a dual threat in the red zone are traits this staff is looking at.

Shedeur Sanders, Colorado, 6-1/198
Rodrigue: Sanders would be a fit in McVay’s offense similar to how we’d project a Kirk Cousins, a Geno Smith or a Dak Prescott operating in this system (although certainly none are a one-to-one comparison). I personally don’t think he’s getting out of the first round, but he should be noted here with how popular this offense now is.

Jaxson Dart, Ole Miss, 6-2/226
Brugler: He needs time to develop his progression-based reads and anticipation (things he wasn’t asked to regularly do in college), but Dart is a natural thrower of the football with promising mobility and high-level competitive intangibles.

Tyler Shough, Louisville, 6-5/224
Brugler: As long as team doctors sign off on his medicals, he has tools worthy of a Day 2 dice roll.

Will Howard, Ohio State, 6-4/235
Brugler: He has functional mobility, arm talent and decision-making skills. NFL teams also appreciate his competitive toughness, which is a non-negotiable trait for the position at the next level.

Smoke, mirrors, or full transparency?

Smoke, mirrors, or full transparency?

Jourdan is as good as they come. I take her at her word. It's safe to say she understands there's a lot of smoke and spin going on and she has a little experience dealing with it.

So if she says Rams are looking to draft a QB, it's very likely true.

Of course doesn't mean it will happen, lot of variables in a draft...

Yeah I think it will depend on how the run on QB's go. I could see maybe the 3rd round if they really like someone, but frankly this regime has not scouted young QB's well.

Like usual it sounds like QB hungry teams are pushing up QB's that have no business being drafted in the first two rounds. If you can get Dart or Shough in the 3rd round or lower, I would be ok with it, but not particularly excited about it. Next year is the year to get a quality QB, but you do risk Stafford retiring.
