POST #24 I think Jimmy G signed with the Rams to be on the roster when Stafford retires. To pay Jimmy a max of $12M this year is one hell of a lot for a backup QB. I think Jimmy was signed as a contingency in case they can't grab one of their two or three targeted QBs in the first round. If they have to take a second round QB then they probably see Jimmy as a potential bridge QB for a year. I think being willing to pay Jimmy G that kind of money as a backup is a draft tell. Most assume it simply means they won't be taking a QB early. I look at it the opposite way as a tell the Rams would like to if possible take a QB in the first two rounds. I have long assumed AD was going to retire at the end of this coming season. This would have been the final year of his contract. Snead can't simply assume Stafford won't also retire at the end of 2024. At max IMO he will play 2 more years. Taking a QB in the first round is important because of that 5th year option. They can afford to sit and develop a QB for two years if they have to. If they draft a QB in the second round and Stafford retires after this year then they have Jimmy G as a bridge if they feel one is necessary. AD's retirement was simply reinforcement of the reality that they can't afford to get caught unprepared, especially at QB. Just like Turner was drafted as a successor to AD, and Nacua to follow on after Kupp. I think both Kupp and Stafford could retire after this year especially if the Rams make a SB appearance. I feel that Edge, LT and QB will be their first three picks with the order dependent upon how the draft develops. They have their bridge CB in Williams, and a developmental starter in Durant across from him.Position wise I can see the draft unfolding like this:Rd 1 QBRd 2 EdgeRd 3 LT Rd 3 CB or WRRd 5 WR or CBRd 5 LBRd 5 RBThe rest TBD depending upon how the draft develops. It's very hard to predict exact players because the Rams like drafting from smaller programs like Turner from Wake Forest and Kupp from Eastern Washington.

POST #25 I don't see DT as a "need" above others. They need productive players in the front 7. It terms of their 1st pick, it can be a DE, an edge/LB, or a DT. Maybe even an NT if he's a monster. Whoever is absolutely the best player available at ONE of those positions when they pick, that's their guy. Then they keep doing that until they have a couple of more to go with the 1st round front 7 guy they will be building around. I don't see the point of filling DT just to have a DT. Good defense doesn't work that way. In the Rams case, you go for the best, most disruptive front 7 player in round 1 regardless which of the various front 7 positions he plays. If it's not a DT that hardly matters.

The way he competes. The arm strength. The way he throws the ball. The mobility out of his pocket. The way he’s able to scramble. He has those tools. Let’s look at this full circle. If we really want to have a conversation about it. The top Quarterbacks in this draft are Caleb Williams Drake Maye and Spencer Ratler. My dream scenario draft is Brock Bowers in round 1 Spencer Ratler in round 2 and Kris Jenkins in round 3. by ramman2999 8 months 2 weeks ago Total posts: 662 Joined: Nov 23 2022 LA Coliseum Veteran First 18 mock: Who do the Rams grab?

The way he competes. The arm strength. The way he throws the ball. The mobility out of his pocket. The way he’s able to scramble. He has those tools. Let’s look at this full circle. If we really want to have a conversation about it. The top Quarterbacks in this draft are Caleb Williams Drake Maye and Spencer Ratler. My dream scenario draft is Brock Bowers in round 1 Spencer Ratler in round 2 and Kris Jenkins in round 3. by ramman2999 8 months 2 weeks ago Total posts: 662 Joined: Nov 23 2022 LA Coliseum Veteran First 18 mock: Who do the Rams grab? POST #30 Yes I think Kris Jenkins can be an Aaron Donald type talent. When you look at the build not fat as a defensive tackle very athletic. I think 1st round we are eyeing Kool Aid Lai Latu Brock Bowers Jackson Powers Tyler Guyton and Tavion Mitchell 2nd round we are looking at Spencer Ratler. I think Spencer Ratler is the Quarterback we are targeting as the heir apparent to Matthew Stafford. Joe Milton is intriguing to. Kris Jenkins would be a great great pickup for us. I also see us targeting Jordan Williams in the second round.

POST #24 I think Jimmy G signed with the Rams to be on the roster when Stafford retires. To pay Jimmy a max of $12M this year is one hell of a lot for a backup QB. I think Jimmy was signed as a contingency in case they can't grab one of their two or three targeted QBs in the first round. If they have to take a second round QB then they probably see Jimmy as a potential bridge QB for a year. I think being willing to pay Jimmy G that kind of money as a backup is a draft tell. Most assume it simply means they won't be taking a QB early. I look at it the opposite way as a tell the Rams would like to if possible take a QB in the first two rounds. I have long assumed AD was going to retire at the end of this coming season. This would have been the final year of his contract. Snead can't simply assume Stafford won't also retire at the end of 2024. At max IMO he will play 2 more years. Taking a QB in the first round is important because of that 5th year option. They can afford to sit and develop a QB for two years if they have to. If they draft a QB in the second round and Stafford retires after this year then they have Jimmy G as a bridge if they feel one is necessary. AD's retirement was simply reinforcement of the reality that they can't afford to get caught unprepared, especially at QB. Just like Turner was drafted as a successor to AD, and Nacua to follow on after Kupp. I think both Kupp and Stafford could retire after this year especially if the Rams make a SB appearance. I feel that Edge, LT and QB will be their first three picks with the order dependent upon how the draft develops. They have their bridge CB in Williams, and a developmental starter in Durant across from him.Position wise I can see the draft unfolding like this:Rd 1 QBRd 2 EdgeRd 3 LT Rd 3 CB or WRRd 5 WR or CBRd 5 LBRd 5 RBThe rest TBD depending upon how the draft develops. It's very hard to predict exact players because the Rams like drafting from smaller programs like Turner from Wake Forest and Kupp from Eastern Washington. This is IMO one of the secrets to Snead's success. by /zn/ 8 months 2 weeks ago Total posts: 6870 Joined: Jun 28 2015 Maine Hall of Fame First 18 mock: Who do the Rams grab? POST #25 I don't see DT as a "need" above others. They need productive players in the front 7. It terms of their 1st pick, it can be a DE, an edge/LB, or a DT. Maybe even an NT if he's a monster. Whoever is absolutely the best player available at ONE of those positions when they pick, that's their guy. Then they keep doing that until they have a couple of more to go with the 1st round front 7 guy they will be building around. I don't see the point of filling DT just to have a DT. Good defense doesn't work that way. In the Rams case, you go for the best, most disruptive front 7 player in round 1 regardless which of the various front 7 positions he plays. If it's not a DT that hardly matters. Take the best front 7 guy you can with pick 1 and then keep adding a couple more. by actionjack 8 months 2 weeks ago Total posts: 4509 Joined: May 19 2016 Sactown Superstar First 18 mock: Who do the Rams grab?

I'm a bit narrow minded with my leaning on the left side of the line ... I totally loved watching Avila at LG .... I want anything possible to leave him there ... but yes, I need to consider the bigger picture. I'm wrong with wanting the Rams to draft a center in the 1st Round. Dotson and Jackson were signed at their pay grade for a reason. ne supra crepidam sutor iudicaret 2 by ramman2999 8 months 2 weeks ago Total posts: 662 Joined: Nov 23 2022 LA Coliseum Veteran First 18 mock: Who do the Rams grab?

The way he competes. The arm strength. The way he throws the ball. The mobility out of his pocket. The way he’s able to scramble. He has those tools. Let’s look at this full circle. If we really want to have a conversation about it. The top Quarterbacks in this draft are Caleb Williams Drake Maye and Spencer Ratler. My dream scenario draft is Brock Bowers in round 1 Spencer Ratler in round 2 and Kris Jenkins in round 3. by ramman2999 8 months 2 weeks ago Total posts: 662 Joined: Nov 23 2022 LA Coliseum Veteran First 18 mock: Who do the Rams grab? POST #30 Yes I think Kris Jenkins can be an Aaron Donald type talent. When you look at the build not fat as a defensive tackle very athletic. I think 1st round we are eyeing Kool Aid Lai Latu Brock Bowers Jackson Powers Tyler Guyton and Tavion Mitchell 2nd round we are looking at Spencer Ratler.
