I also think Hunter might get a real shot at significant reps. Very strong and powerful. It will be about pass pro as always. Sure has the physical tools for that. His breakaway speed is legit.

Also, Forbes has had a year and a half to do nothing but train the way the Rams wanted him to. He could show up an entirely different player. And he was a first round pick.

Exactly. The Rams have been watching him. I will go to camp and keep an eye on mostly the dudes we don’t have much or any intel on. The rookies and dudes like Forbes, AJ Green - another FA corner we signed, Landman, and WR Quintez Cephus who I didn’t even know we signed, also KT Leviston to see if he reps at RT at all.

And they like the players they drafted more than the alternatives.

We only made 6 picks, lots of other ways to add to the roster.

That and what '34 said...

Yep, everyone should chill and let the Rams build the initial 53. And go to camp if ya can to see for yourselves who looks good. I thought Tre White looked good the one day I got to see him. Same for Logan Bruss. Both were gone before the end of the season. We simply don’t get to watch and interact with these guys like the coaches do. So our opinions are really ill informed. And that’s OK. They more ya watch, the more ya learn.

I'm getting more amped about this kid. "We have some impressive metrics on him" really sounds like they love the kid. Not to replace Kyren of course but to compliment him. When you have a Derrick Henry or Saquon Barkley, you can run them 300 times. I don't think that's good for Kyren. He ran it 316 times last year. In 8 games he carried it 20 times or more and in 5 of those he didn't average 4.0 yards per carry. He's not built for 300 carries.

I like this draft.

With Ferguson, I was initially a bit skeptical because of the report I first read that indicated his run blocking needs work, but the more I read around about him, it’s pretty clear that he has a lot to offer and while he may need some coaching up, has some very good strengths and skills.

As for the rest of the picks, it is as if they approached the entire draft after round 2 by deliberately addressing every single weakness that showed up in the Eagles playoff game. Run defense? Speed and getting explosive running plays on offense? Strengthening the front 7? It’s like they had a list of things to fix from that game, and then lined up a series of players who could each credibly provide one of those fixes.

And one thing every pick has in common. They are all intense players, to the point of ferocious. They don’t all have ideal physical traits for their position (though Ferguson does), but they all play aggressively.

And Ramsey will look pretty good on that DB room

I just jumped in here ‘cause I respect your posts. I haven’t read the rest but the tone seems to say there are more than just my posts giving this a meh, grade. I have faith in the Rams and I get the focus on 2026 but I was stoked after the 2024 draft. DeSilva /Rams wire gave grades of one A (Paul) a C and the rest Bs. Maybe that’s the difference of drafting #26 but I have to agree. I welcome this draft class and hope for the best.
