I don't see drafting a QB in the 3rd round a wasted pick, gives us time to develops for the future, Stafford only has a year or two left. We're going to need to start paying our young players soon. Giving Stafford a boatload of money a year or two from now can hinder that.

Yes we need someone, but just dont think this is the draft for it. I mean if Jaxon Dart goes in the first round, that says all I need to know that QB's are being way overrated. Rams need a QB, but they SHOULD NOT overdraft for one, which I dont think they will do.

I don't think we can rely on the Rams to draft solely for need.

If they like a player and they can get him, well they might just go get him.

And as i've said a million times, the Rams don't know how that draft is gonna play out or who they'll end up with. I mean, they have buckets of players they're willing to draft but they don't know who they'll get.

We don't either...

Yes but they definitely hone in on certain group of players and they manipulate the draft to get most of the players they really covet.

I have no idea what they will do. They probably don't know themselves just yet. I do know if you're picking outside of the top 10 its harder to find your franchise quarterback. I don't see them picking one on the first two days. In fact, I'm not sure they pick one at all this draft. Unless they think there's a guy out there who can be a project with the tools needed to be an NFL quarterback. One that sits for a couple years. Bennett is not that guy.

My preference would be a trade down. The draft calculator has number 26 the same value as a mid second and mid 3rd round picks. Would give them 4 day 2 picks. But the hard part is finding a trade partner. Would have to be someone who covets a player and doesn't think he'll last till their next pick.

Otherwise just stand pat. Pick at 26 and wait till number 90. The roster doesn't have many holes. I'd prefer BPA over need. If need is BPA then great. Our future needs are RT, WR and TE. We don't know if Adams will figure prominently in year 2.

I would love it if some QB fell to them in the 4th or lower. There's nothing wrong with that. Who though?

Definitely. But those players probably play a lot of different positions. So depending which ones they are able to get, we conclude, those must be the positions they felt they needed to draft when in reality, probably not what happened...

If there are QBs available at 26, the Rams could trade down with a team who really wants one but passed on him earlier or just some team after the Rams that love a guy who’s there. I see them trading up for someone they really want if they can. If they can’t, a trade down feels a better bet than staying at 26.

We also have future need at corner as 4 guys are in a contract year in 2025.

Yep I could see us draft multiple corners and another safety

[ramsman34]

Jordan has us trading down to 30 with Buffalo in the Athletics latest mock. And grabbing a corner.

I just hope they continue their recent success and land a bunch of difference makers that affect the roster in a positive way in 2025. Regardless of position.

Wouldnt mind another OLB too unless the Rams feel Jackson and Hampton are ready for primetime.

I see them adding edge/OLB - draft or UDFA. Possibly even a vet FA once cuts start in training camp.
