Thoughts departing #Rams camp:

1. I think the Aaron Donald deal gets done before the season. The two sides aren’t far apart here. It’s a matter of massaging numbers that will make Donald the #NFL’s highest paid defensive player. It only collapses if Donald waits on Khalil Mack.

2. Rookie DE John Franklin-Myers is one to watch for the #Rams. Big, active. Staff likes what they see.

3. TE Gerald Everett is comfortable. Processing faster. He’ll take a step.

4. Aqib Talib & Marcus Peters are already vibing. Great fit. Far more chemistry in this secondary.

**The ability of Ndamukong Suh to absorb a schematic tweak and implement it anywhere on the #Rams defensive line has defensive coordinator Wade Phillips thinking of JJ Watt’s prime. Not to mention Suh’s talent level, which apparently isn’t sliding on film.

**I don’t think the #Rams fear Donald becoming an RFA. Maybe they would if things had been contentious. But I don’t get any sense this has been a bitter negotiation. Both sides want to get it done in LA. They’re not killing each other behind the scenes.

**Another thing about the #Rams, I’ve been very skeptical of Sean McVay supposedly having a photographic memory. When we were talking this week, he recalled our conversation from one year ago and exactly where we were standing when we had it. I’m not memorable. It was weird.

Yeah, I was excited when we had a WR with a photo memory once... the former Ravens WR that joined us in the Lineham daze, can't remember his name. But McVay having one is icing on the gigantic cake of a HC we now have. Would love to hear him working with the QB's.

Leaving Napa, I’m told there is no present offer from the #Raiders to star pass-rusher Khalil Mack and there has been no contract talks with Mack’s camp since February.
