Yikes. We didn't draft any OL at all.

About Hav...

Once his contract was restructured there things became obvious.

1. He’s in their long term plans. Teams don’t extend players they’re thinking about trading or cutting.

2. It follows that they’re satisfied by his current health.

3. So expecting him to reclaim his starting spot is not unreasonable.

He wasn't extended, they just moved money around. He wasn't on the injury report the last 2 games of the season so he should be healthy now. I think Hav will probably reclaim his spot, but if he can't or turns in another stinker he's a goner next offseason.

Snead, McVay recap third and final day of 2020 NFL Draft

A.J. Hicks
I come away from this draft (free agency) thinking the players we got (both offensively and defensively) that can contribute right away make us very multiple/versatile.

Just defensively our d-line became more multiple. But what I really think is the mix of secondary and linebackers makes us incredibly multiple/versatile.

Same thing goes for the new tight end room.

And Van Jefferson with Cooper Kupp is going to be ridiculous.

Van Jefferson eager to learn from Rams wide receivers

Good find here by @thirteen28

With the 57th pick in the NFL draft the Los Angeles Rams select Van jefferson

Maybe we're changing our offensive scheme. Pats have always managed to alter their team, offense especially, to cover up their weaknesses and exploit their strengths. If our oline can't be relied on to block for too long a deep threat at WR might not be beneficial. This is what I'm thinking...

Jefferson has this sick “levitation” to his hesitation move. Hard to describe... It’s a subtle thing, but you see it at the 3:00 and 5:00-7:00 mark. His restart is so quick out of it.

His use of tempo, starting at 7:45 shows how hard it is to stick with him. That’s a cool angle...

I am sold on this pick!

Sad truths we can share

SWAdude
I don't know if this plays well but what the hell......

When I go into the pilot lounge where we all go to start our trips there are usually around a dozen other pilots hanging around doing whatever. If I see a friend I haven't seen for a while there usually is a friendly mutual greeting like "Hey dude! Whats been going on?" And I will say "Man nice to see you! So happy you got your job back!"

About a dozen heads spin around to see who we are. We both get a good laugh at the joke.:biggrin:

Undrafted Players?

Just curious when NFL Teams can begin signing players who don’t get drafted today. I am guessing the Rams will be pretty active trying to sign some of those players?! Should be pretty interesting to see which players are still available and which one’s the Rams pursue!

They are already talking to players they want to sign as free agents, probably have been since the bowl season. Right after the draft “wink, wink”, teams start locking these guys up. It’s called the fastest 5 minutes in football.

Snead: "We definitely wanted to address those four positions"

Les Snead, Sean McVay recap Day 2 of NFL Draft

Snead: "We definitely wanted to address those four positions"

General manager Les Snead momentarily lost internet service inside his home before the Rams' first draft pick and head coach Sean McVay called the wrong number after another, but those obstacles never got in the way of the them acquiring the talent they felt the team needed on Day 2 of the NFL Draft.

Rounds 2-3 saw Los Angeles select Florida State running back Cam Akers, Florida wide receiver Van Jefferson, Alabama outside linebacker Terrell Lewis and Utah safety Terrell Burgess with picks 52, 57, 84 and 104 respectively.

"We definitely wanted to address those four positions," Snead said on a video conference Friday night.

In Akers and Jefferson, L.A. got exactly who it wanted at those picks, according to Snead. McVay said both being available allowed the Rams to "start the day off on the right foot."

Adding to the backfield was a possibility after the release of starter Todd Gurley – McVay said in early April the Rams were doing their homework on this year's class of running backs – though McVay wasn't ready to anoint Akers as the one who would handle a similar role.

"It's to be determined," McVay said. "What he does is he adds great value to the group, and that's the way we're looking at it right now."

McVay views Jefferson in a similar way, with his versatility contributing to a wide receiver room which includes a pair of 1,000 yard receivers in Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods and a capable starter in Josh Reynolds.

"What you feel really good about his three players that are starting players in our offense that come from that receiver group, and I think Van really provides the opportunity to play all three spots," McVay said. "I think he's a really polished route-runner."

In Lewis, the Rams found an outside linebacker who they view as a fit in new defensive coordinator Brandon Staley's scheme. Though Lewis dealt with an upper arm injury that cost him 10 games in 2017 and a torn ACL that cost the entire 2018 season at Alabama, McVay is confident in what he can bring when 100 percent healthy.

"We had a lot of appreciation for his skillset," McVay said. "He's had some injuries, but I think they've been some freak instances. You look at when this guy plays, he's healthy, he's ready to go."

Like Jefferson, Burgess gives the Rams' options on defense with the ability to play either slot cornerback or safety.

"The makeup of the human being, the versatility of his skillset is huge, especially when you look at John Johnson and Taylor Rapp," McVay said. "Feel really good about those guys, but there's a lot of different personnel groupings you can activate defensively where you're playing with three safeties. When you've got a guy that can play safety or that nickel spot based on his athleticism, it's a really exciting thing to be adding to that group.

Overall, both Snead and McVay are pleased with how Day 2 unfolded.

"I think it was a great day, to be able to come away with four players that we had a high appreciation for," McVay said. "They also happened to fill some needs that we felt like we wanted to try to address in this thing."

The best draft in the history of every NFL franchise

Dick was the Man!

Los Angeles Rams: 1983
Los Angeles Rams: 1983


The Rams have had many great drafts in franchise history, but the 1983 picks stand out over the last half century. Second-overall pick Eric Dickerson went on to become one of the greatest running backs in league history, and he was followed by star wideout Henry Ellard in the second round. L.A. landed three more solid NFL players in that draft in linebacker Mike Wilcher (second round), defensive back Vince Newsome (fourth round) and defensive end Doug Reed (fourth round).
