I counted so far with the roster including those we signed from last years PS 64,
and this year's draft 6 and the UDFA 17, I came out with 87, 3 more to sign.

Trey Wedig is an interesting signing as he's the only true OT among the UDFAs. He's somewhat of a project but they could have their RT next year. Trey's issue are developmental in that his technique is all over the place making him inconsistent. Most importantly he needs a whole lot of work on his footwork, which leads to many of his issues. He tends to play too high, but so did Havenstein coming in as a rookie.

If Wedig can improve his footwork he could have the best foot quickness of all the OTs on the roster. With a lot of work on the field and in the weight room to improve his strength and hand coordination Trey could be good enough to start in 2026. That is a big if, but they stuck with Jackson who needed a whole lot of work as well.

I see them reworking Havenstein's contract for this season and giving him one more starting year. They have McClendon as a backup RT this year as well. The real issue is what they do for LT depth? I think they will wait for the roster cut downs and pick up a vet OT to play swing.

Wyatt Bowles comes in as an OG but he has experience at RT as well. He might be a better prospect for RT because I think he's better in terms of technique than Wedig right now.

But the most intriguing UDFA might be RB Jordan Waters. He's 6' weighing in at 224. He's faster than Kyren as he timed at 4.58 (which is about the same as Corum who is 5'8"). What I see in Waters is something the Rams have ignored and that is a 3rd down RB. The problem with the small RBs that McVay prefers is that they are mismatched if asked to block on third downs. Kyren is the best they have and he's been okay but he gets one shot then Matt has to make sure the ball is gone. Waters is a good RB who also has good hands as a receiver. If he can be coached up to pass block he can fit that 3rd down role for the Rams and reduce, wear and tear on Hunter.

I find it interesting that there are so many OGs among the UDFAs. Obviously they have questions regarding their depth on the IOL.

i'm wondering if Jordan Waters is somehow related to that ol' Rams nemesis Ricky Waters? the Kid looks great on tape! :D
