The next 3, looking ahead

We do have a lot of teams on the schedule that we might be battling for a playoff spot. If we win 3 of the next 4 I like our chances. AZ, Pitt and GB are all beatable. Who knows, Dallas could be too. Their 3 wins were against some pretty weak offenses in the Giants, Jets and Patriots. They got blown out by a legit team. And the Cardinals lone win was against them. They may not be as good as advertised. What if we won our next 4? We'd be sky high.

PREGAME Cardinals at Rams - Pregame Thread

McVay didn't call the O-plays in the pre-season and I believed passed the duties around to other O-coaches so at least we go some practice going in.

Raheem is the slam dunk HC if Sean is bringing "John" or "Some hot future chick name" into this world.
He passed it to LaFleur like he does every preseason gives it to his OC so they get some experience with it. Morris does the same he split with Henderson and I think Shula.

Av’s Crazy Early 2024 Rams Mock

Avenger:
Though I would prefer a LT in the 1rst round, I take no issue with grabbing an Edge guy if he’s gonna wreak havoc in the backfield. There’s no substitute for QB pressure.

Where I kinda wince is a RB in the 2nd. Admittedly, I don’t follow other teams as closely as I used to, but based on what I’ve been seeing when I watch parts of a game (non Rams) or red zone, I’m not seeing any rookie RBs starting or carrying the bulk of the load for their teams. Unless things have changed in the last couple of weeks, even bijon robinson (falcons) is the #2 back.
When you couple that with our OL being able to pass block more than run block right now, a RB is not that high of a priority (2nd round) until the OL can block better.

I DO like the idea of beefing up the interior of both lines. I would make this a constant in draft strategy if I were a GM. Pressure up the middle can be just as effective as a good Edge rusher. We can just flush the QB to the outside—as long as we don’t let him break containment. I know you only went 5 rounds, but I would certainly be looking for another big body later/UDFA to help on the IDL.

When it comes to LBs, I hope the guy is fast. That’s just the way of the NFL now. I always thought Ogletree was done a disservice by being switched to MLB when he was so fast and good at running down plays. He would have been perfect in Rozeboom’s spot.
Yeah I always thought Ogletree was out of position

Garett Bolles

As far as the age thing: This guy's 31, Trent Williams is 35, Whit played til 40 right? I think LT is one of the few positions you need to shell out for when given the opportunity, in terms of value to the team, and how rare and difficult to come by a truly dominant one is.
But we wouldn't be trading for a dominant LT. Here's an article including a lot of data on Bolles after the 2021 season (Bolles missed most of 2022 with a broken leg):

Outside of an elite 2020 season (his contract year), Bolles has generally been an above average LT.
