Here is what I mean --- the edge I wanted in this fantasy draft was not there
traded down to get an extra 3rd ... the DIs on the right were the ones
available --- I picked Taylor, PFF didn't like it, but there were DTs, DEs and NTs
all there

Pick one ---

And then whatever you pick, they can work in with Turner, Brown III, DeJuan, Murch and perhaps Hoecht

First 4 all look to be drafted a bit too early.

Streaming platform?

Psycho_X
Just to be aware, a lot of streaming services offer deals around black friday/cyber monday. I re-up peacock and hulu every year for $0.99/month at that time. That is for the commercial versions but you can pay the extra $5 on top of that for no commercials and it's still a deal. I also usually re-up paramount + all though their deals are never THAT good. I think this year it was $80 for a year which is still roughly half off. Amazon usually has a bunch of channels like AMC + for $0.99 a month for three months too. Usually when I catch up on all my walking dead over the holidays lol.

Is there a 2024 “Diamond in the Depth Chart”?

Merlin
Yeah I'd go with TE Allen. He looks like he's gonna be around a while. Maybe he develops nicely we'll see. Will he do the work and be able to put some consistent product out there. I think so. Question is whether he'll be mediocre or maybe something more.

Tomlinson still has time, in regards to that equation where I expect a corner to show up at some point in their first couple seasons. Corner is a position that translates quickly if the player is going to be good. So this being Tomlinson's second year already the window is here for him to prove it. That would give us quite a lift, btw. Also it would be nice if Durant could step it up. He's not likely to do anything noteworthy at this point and looks like he lacks that dog in him, but simple improvement vs the run could change his outlook considerably.

Lake too. Though I think for him to be a diamond he'll need to win a job in that safety pairing.

Truth though is this roster is probably shorter than most in terms of upside. Year out from the rebuild, so not a surprise there. Hopefully this time next year we'll be in better shape there.

March Madness Mock 2024 AD

I see a Michael Brockers type guy in Robinson who would be able to punish the OL from a down position. Not sure how much the scheme is going to be tweaked this year, but I remember the Rams occasionally moving Young inside with his hand in the dirt. Robinson could take that role as needed, allowing Young to stay outside—where he was better suited. There would still be two pass rushing threats on the one side.

As for Watson, I have to say that my first choice for that position would actually be Payton Wilson, Should a guy like Verse become a real target and the Rams nail down an Edge in the 1rst round, then Wilson is in play, but it didn’t work out this way in this mock.
Nonetheless, filling that position is imperative, IMO, and Watson having shown well at the senior bowl practices just might be somebody the Rams would be interested in. He’s a heckuva player, I’m just not aware of any off field stuff. That could be the monkey in the wrench.

A Michael Brockers type as far as use, I understand. But as far a production it makes me dislike the selection even more. I used to fight for him back in the day when others posted how the Rams should have drafted Fletcher Cox instead. Ooops.

I heard about Watson in a podcast awhile back, but all I could find online was a suspicion of DUI arrest upon a quick search.

Proposed 2024 Rule Changes

'Tush Push' rule change: NFL will not propose banning controversial play for 2024 season

The Eagles have caused a stir with their high level of success

'Tush Push' rule change: NFL will not propose banning controversial play for 2024 season​

The "Tush Push" is here to stay ... at least for the 2024 season. NFL executive vice president Troy Vincent has confirmed that the controversial play will remain a legal play this season, via ESPN. Vincent added that there will not be a proposal presented this offseason that would attempt to ban the play.

While there isn't a strong push to ban it, the NFL will continue to monitor the play, according to CBS Sports lead NFL insider Jonathan Jones.

The "Tush Push" has become the NFL's most scrutinized play over the past two seasons. The play rose to fame in 2022 after becoming an integral part of the Philadelphia Eagles offense. The play helped the Eagles reach the Super Bowl that season while aiding in Jalen Hurts' setting a new quarterback record by running for 15 regular-season touchdowns. He had an additional three touchdown runs during the Eagles' Super Bowl loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

The league's current stance on the "Tush Push" differs from reports this past December that commissioner Roger Goodell wanted it out of the game. It appears that is no longer the case.

There are two reasons why the play has received push back. The play isn't safe as it often creates a pile, which increases the chances of injury. Many feel the play also gives the offense an unfair advantage as offensive players can push the quarterback forward. The Eagles had a 93.5% success rate running the play in 2022 and a 90% success rate in 2023, according to The Athletic.

While it has its detractors, the "Tush Push" will remain in the NFL in 2024, and it's up to the league's 32 defensive coordinators to come up with a way to stop it.

The bolded is what I have a problem with. If they simply went back to the rule of not allowing a player to assist the runner by pushing him or dragging him forward, the tush push would go away and we'd be back to real football instead of Rugby. I like Rugby but it is not Football.

Ten Rams Draft Questions I’m Contemplating

Loyal
Merlin said:
I think one of the strengths of Trader Les is he is always willing and able to position for his targets. Which means he probably avoids reaching moreso than many of his peers in relation to their board.

Also even though the Rams killed it last year there are no guarantees in the draft. They have had poor ones and I think it is a hard science. They may roll the dice on a guy with medical flags like they did with Gurley. They may opt for upside and get burned.

Hoping for another grand slam group with an elite player at the top. But even though I know they are good at their craft the reality of this exercise and law of averages may work against them. McVay will still win too, that is what he does. But there is no guarantee we see another haul with them hitting on so many picks.

Rozenboom is coming back

Linebacker is supposed to be a pretty horrible position in this draft. Roz gives us flexibility to not just desperately flail for one and overdraft a guy. I'm sure we'll take a swing on a guy late or if we love a guy like Cooper, grab him if his value meets our pick.

Apropos of this, whenever there's a position that's considered fairly bad in a draft, you can always get confirmation of that because after like the first two guys on the media's top 10 boards for that position are drafted, NFL teams will end up picking obscure names no one has even heard for the next 10 picks and the players on media boards won't be heard from till way late in the draft.

I’d say LBer has been a weak position in the draft for years
