Rattler is the only QB I’d take and the 3rd is about right. Jackson is a BIG/Long corner. And if they trade up and don’t take LT or WR, Turner is a pretty awesome edge player and difference maker. Not how I think it goes, but wouldn’t be mad if it went this way.

Agreed, but i dont get getting moving up to get a LT. I do for the future, but arent the Rams trying to maximize the next 2 years (w/ Stafford)? They need elite pass rush would love Dallas Turner... 2.5 weeks until the draft ugh

I am assuming it would be an immediate upgrade over A Jax, and for the future.

Hey, I could and am probably dead wrong on this. lol. Gut feel and Snead being the wild trade man that he is.

First off hey its your gut, maybe u got a good read on Snead, but man IMO AJax was serviceable at LT , the position can def can be improved but....I wouldnt call the Rams pass rush adequate at all (with AD), particularly at the Edge. Will see, maybe the plan is to win 50-35

Ya I agree. Just been watching all the edge guys. None really blow me away and the jump to the pros is serious at that position. Dallas looks good, Latu the most ready but not really athletic and close to his ceiling and Chop is insanely athletic but spends too much time on the ground. Verse is like Dallas just not quite as good. I think they should add a DL as well. We are thin there.

Really wonder what the Rams think of O Mathis and Hampton??

That is a great question. Hard to get much of a read on them. Mathis looked the part physically but didnt have many opps. Hampton is small looks like like a safety, made some plays, maybe a situational guy. I guess that is why I like the trade up because Dallas is probably the only difference maker at Edge. Maybe we somehow add some experience post draft at the position.

I guess what concerns me is the Rams didnt really address it last year, both myself and AD hope they do this year .

They tried. Drafted 3 edge guys and 1 interior. I do agree they need a stud opposite B Young. But, they are really investing in the O in order to dominate scoring. Or at least try to do so. That could affect what they do at #19.

There's a theory that with a high octane offense establishing big leads, it makes opposing offenses a little more predictable, therefore a little easier on the defense. I'm not suggesting they ignore the defense....they won't....but I think we may be overly concerned about the D. They brought in 3 vets, to support the existing youngsters from last year.....and the previous year. We lost AD...sure....but he played 3 years for the Rams and the most wins we had was 7. I'm thinking we may not be as desperate as WE sound. Shula may surprise us.

I would like to see us draft johnny newton, I think he could wreck havoc to o-lines, draft edge second round, wr in the third.

He does have some traits for sure. And yours isn’t a bad plan. The Rams have to be convinced their first few picks come in and contribute heavily right away and at a high level.

I could also see them staying at/around 19, making the pick there, then trading back into the end of the first to grab another highly rated target.

This is a very interesting theory indeed. If we are actually looking for an Offensive weapon out of this draft there is a potential trade staring us right in the face.

Rams get : Pick 10

Jets get: Pick 19, Pick 52

Jets are without a 2nd Round pick via the Rodgers trade and would love to recoup it. Pick 10 puts us in that Odunze, Bowers, Fashanu range if we are so inclined.

Not advocating FOR this, just spitballing off PA's theory, don't @ me
