Will the Rams sign or trade for veteran CB…

Doesn't sound like there's any room in the cap for even a cheap vet FA without a restructure of a contract. I don't think it's likely but not out of the realm of possibility.
Would someone take a pay cut? Just putting it out there if they want to win as many games as possible. We have seen that elsewhere but not on the rams for some reason

The ONE Song that Opened a New Musical Genre to You

once I graduated from college and started working, I would listen to a lot of music. So I got a Columbia House subscription and started buying all kinds of different stuff because I was bored with the same 60’s-70’s stuff that I had.

I ordered the bigger names but it broadened my musical pallet.

I will give anything a chance because I found that good songs grow on you.

That being said: my buddy got me listening to Johnny Cash. It turns out that I really liked Johnny Cash. But in general, country music is not my bag. Neither is modern rap.

Stopping the Run

I think our Run D will surprise people...

Donald, Bobby Brown, and Kobie Turner/Copeland on the DL and Ernest Jones lined up behind them...i don't think there will be much regression. We will ofcourse miss A'Shawn but I LOVE Turner as a pick and I really like what flashes Bobby Brown showed last preseason...

Rams select Jason Taylor II (S) with the 234th pick.

His father is Jason Taylor formerly of the Phins. Another NFL Legacy player. I like this pick. I think safety is the weakest part of the defense and he has some development potential. He has 2nd highest vertical measurement of all draft prospects. I like his physicality and range, things you need in a safety.
No he is not his son...at least they mentioned that on one of the networks. No relation.

Post Draft Perspectives?

@badnews congrats to you about your daughter's wedding. Before preseason and up to the draft, I was pretty sure we were sucking for "luck.' I don't feel that way today, because:

*most are great character guys who love football.
*All have skills but need good coaching to develop them
*It appears that we have good coaches led by Sean McVay
*Our top pick has the ability to shore up our Oline, which will make Jackson(LT), Allen, Akers, Stafford, Atwell and Kupp better
*I love, love, love the Steve Avila pick. I've thought the last three years that McSnead didn't value the Oline positions by taking a versatile guard/center high n the draft. I thought for sure we would take a skill position player that was new and shiny and not a meat and potatoes guy. Did I say I love it?

Now, it may be true that the season is lost early this year because too many games are lost before the midpoint of the season, waiting for the large number of rookie starters to play up to their potential. Cynically, it gives Snead a great excuse for a bad team performance in 2023, while also making our first, 1st round pick in many years very valuable in 2024. The big question for me will be if Snead will allow the 1st round pick in 2024 to be there for us....or will he trade it for a known quantity skill player for Stafford's benefit?

Thanks Loyal. This is exactly what I was looking for.

Memphis Rams Mock Draft 2.0

I agree with your predictions that the Memphis Rams may look at a player at the tight end position in the first round of the draft. That position is very important to the team, and I think they can find a great candidate to help them strengthen their game. I also really like your pick at the guard position in the second round. This could be a big step forward for a team that needs extra defense next season. However, I think the Memphis Rams team should also look at the wide receiver and linebacker positions. Those positions are also important to the team, and I think they can find great players in those areas during the draft.

Good draft: my take

The more I break down this draft the more I think I can see what Snead and McVay are thinking when they drafted 3 edges.

Young: Starter replacing Floyd

Hampton: Starter as their SAM LB. In a Tampa 2 zone scheme, Hampton has the speed and athleticism to fill that short to intermediate zone normally filled by the MIKE. But Jones lacks the speed and athleticism to play that role. They tried to use a 3rd safety but they were too light to come up and fill on runs and not fast enough to cover.

Mathis: Replaces Keir Thomas behind Hoecht and can play in rotation. Gives the Rams an early down option to Hoecht who is still learning the position. Mathis would be better at setting a hard edge on early downs and giving them pass rush pressure on early down passes.

Allen Davis TE: I think he is hoped to be the successor to Higbee. Unlike Higbee, Davis can block and still gives them a receiving TE.

Right now the only one of the drafted players I see not making the roster would be Johnson.
