All this winning has put a damper on my enthusiasm for the draft. Ever since we waited with baited breath to see if we were taking Goff or Wentz, the draft has become just secondary.
And ya know what?
I wouldnt change a God Damned Thing!!
Woot Woot, SB Champs bitches!!!

I was never really a big fan of KoC. Too howdy doody and mixed bag with a poor offense in 2020. Goff shares much of 2020 but either way I agree Coen may be better.

Better WR2 this year. Better QB in second year in offense. And maybe an OC upgrade. Sounds like only injuries or poor line play can derail what should be a better offense in 2022.

Agree. I am really looking forward to seeing KoC as head coach. Press conferences post game, etc.

He operated a LOT in the background here.

I'm a Mexican food lover. So I prefer Taco Bell. Yeah, its not authentic but its good enough. Their 5 dollar Chalupa box is a good deal. You get a 5 layer burrito, chalupa and soft taco plus the drink. I sub the cinnamon twists for chips and cheese. I don't use the drive through. I walk in, order and grab a bunch of their fire and diablo hot sauces. I have a gallon size ziplock bag full of their sauce packs. I use it on my egg omelets every morning.

For Reeder, the comp pick is an UDFA.

I like the tradition they are building with the amazing LA homes for the Draft. It will make other teams hate us more but that’s ok. They only hate you when your good!!

My custom made dream house would probably look like a 3 bedroom shack, until you take the elevator DOWN to the most ridiculous home theater one could ever imagine.

just posted in the song thread..Happy 4/20

I like the kid, just hope he doesn’t go to a team that is direct competition to us.

The Rams Don’t Need Anything
by Navin R. Johnson
The Rams don’t need anything.
Except OBJ. They don’t need anything else. Just OBJ…and Tyrann Matthieu. That’s all they need. OBJ, Matthieu…and another CB. They don’t need one other thing…not one…oh, wait…they need another pass rusher. They just need OBJ, Matthieu, a CB, a pass rusher, and nothing else. Except OL depth, for sure. But that’s all they need.


What do you think? Is he right? Okay always thought he was kind of a jerk.

I think Navin is spot in his evaluation of the Rams needs.

It's good to see that he has finally found his special purpose.

This is refreshing on a couple of points... The first being he knows what he wants and the second he seems to know that draining another few million from the team, isn't going to change his or his families lives.
I've been there myself - though the pay scale was radically different!, but changing employers for $5, $10 or even $20K was not going to impact my finances, as much as as a different commute, having to break in a new manager or adjusting to another idiot corporate structure. That part I get.
Coop is definitely a we, not me, character and great to have him as a Ram.

The consensus from this group is that cornerbacks are thin. That runs in the exact opposite direction of our early depth analysis of this draft, as cornerbacks were rated as the third deepest position of this draft. How can that be? The Pro Football Talk article is skewed towards teams looking at the early rounds. As is the case with several positions, few prospects in this draft class have the unquestioned profiles of being NFL ready. That actually benefits the Rams somewhat, as the obscurity over who are the standout defensive backs gives the always-prepared Rams draft team an advantage over other teams.

Thats a new take. If true, the last part makes sense; it could benefit the Rams.

Watch the Birmingham Stallions replay. The one with the fans. lol. But that's why I said I loved the throwback to 2020 sporting events.

Yeah...at least pipe in the fake covid-19 crowd cheering.

I hope the crowds pick up. Maybe Easter holiday had an affect.

The other thing, is only Birmingham has home games. All 7 other team's fans don't get to see their team unless they travel to Alabama.

I've heard next year they intend to play in their own home stadium. So, I'm just gonna roll with all this, this season!

OK. I love Ramsey in the Star-role. Hate it when offenses avoid a top-cover-corner; and think Ramsey is at his best when he is most engaged and challenged.

I would like to see a secondary where he can play inside or out and we aren't weaker in the other spot whether that means adding another boundry CB who granted won't be as good as him likely or adding a good slot I'm all for it. CB was my #1 draft need last year and it's not changed at all if anything it's been reinforced this off season.

Let's hope it's a very long time.

And there was some decent football this weekend. Obviously not nfl level players, nobody should have expected that, but there were moments where some players shined. I’ll keep watching.

I actually hope we re-sign Sony Michel. He made a key block on game winning drive in the super bowl.

That was a definitely a cool play. Considering how many QB sneaks we run, we should add that to the arsenal.

We know Cam can throw the ball from his high school days.

The most confusing holiday ever to a brown kid, egg pooping rabbits, and wondering why everything was closed.

"Obstacle,"...?

Rams are 3-0 against Brady in the last two years. Manhandled him in LA once, beat him close in Tampa in '20 and were well on their way to an epic playoff beat-down until Akers got the dropsies.

And still ripped their hearts out at the end.

You haven't heard? Brady was the one who forced all those fumbles to lead an epic comeback.

Braindead said:

The Rams are a playoff team with no big holes to fill, so we will just draft BPA.

But what about the following year? As of now, next offseason we might lose (per overthecap.com)
RB: Henderson (UFA) , Jones (RFA), Calais (RFA), Hawkins (RFA)
DL: Robinson (Void), Gains (UFA), Hoecht (RFA), Copeland (RFA), Hollins (UFA), Brown (RFA)
DB: Rapp (UFA) , Long (UFA), Haley (UFA), Brooks (RFA), Gervase (UFA), Scott (UFA)

Of course, contracts will certainly be signed with some of these players and most of them are JAGs. But I think we should think further than next season.

Click to expand...

Why will we struggle to resign Robinson or/and Gaines? We should have the cap room. Unless Robinson, Gaines, Hollins and/or Henderson break out and have monster season they should all potentially be back if we want to keep them. The more I look at this squad the better it looks both short and long term

The key remains that we need to hit on some of the draft picks and keep picking up hidden gems through FA. I would think we will be one of the most active teams following the draft yet again as we keep turning the bottom of the roster over

I forgot this started yesterday.
