Snead has done has PPG QB study...how about getting the D to play up to its press clippings, instead of getting steamrolled by teams like WAS and CHI? The gap between the Rams D and the Den D is greater than the gap between Foles/Keenum and Goff/Wentz. Fill gaps that will result from FA or how bout some dudes that can block or catch? Only player I'd move up to get is Ronnie Stanley is he falls to 8-10 range.


I guess we'll agree to disagree on the QB situation but I will make one prediction for this upcoming draft. I say we at max draft 1 OLine and if we draft 1 it'll be a center to compete with Barnes if he's even resigned. GRob will start at LT again there's 0 chance they give up on him after 1 year of starting at LT and one training camp at LT.


OL is the priority. If they can give an average qb time in the pocket then they can win games and combine that with the run game makes the offense one that can compete with anyone. Take a tackle at 15 and then center with one of the two 2nd round picks.


Get ready to be disappointed if that's your hopes for the draft :D There is absolutely no chance Fisher and Snead are going to give up on a #2 overall pick after one year as a starting LT.

After the combine my hope is Cleveland takes Wentz and The Rams can move up for Goff.
I want to like Lynch but just don't see it
And Cook was terrible and is at best a 2nd to 3rd rounder now

We can all dream. I never thought Snead would have drafted Gurley. Reality is, qb at 15 or wr. 2nd round will be a defensive player and maybe a TE. If the Rams decide to go with a wr hopefully they can trade down because the same option will still be there.

Goff yes IMO as long as the price isn't too steep. This team isn't taking the next step with Foles or Keenum. And now with San Diego saying they would like to move out of the 3rd pick, if Goff isn't taken by the Browns (I think he will be) if you are the Rams you have to consider doing something with San Diego. Goff isn't getting by San Francisco. Hell he may not even get by Dallas.

Swap firsts this year and first next year as well as one of the two's this year. Max I would do. Still need a second to get a #1 WR. Time to pull the trigger again on trying to get a franchise QB. That being said I don't think Fisher will do it. Invested too high of a pick on Mannion to be a back-up.

Yep. Don't see Fisher doing it. Should he? Probably see Gurley. Will he? Probably not.

Lynch is still the guy I'd like the Rams to draft. He needs some work but he also wouldn't have to start right away. Let him ease into things but worst case scenario, how much worse than Davis or Keenum would he be if he had to start the first half of the season?

Realistically, he seems like the only QB the Rams might have a shot at anyway. None of these guys are so good that I'd like to see the Rams spend draft capital to move up to get them and things will have to fall just the right way for even Lynch to fall to 15.

Basically, I'm preparing myself for the Rams to not take a QB that I'm too excited about, if at all.
