I don't know that you can take someone in the first round to 'replace' him. That just sounds like way too much pressure on anyone.

Nobody is replacing AD. But Turner is going to need some legitimate help. It’s a big hole.

The Rams knew about AD before so I'm guessing nothing has changed on their draft board.

Any confirmation on how long they knew this was coming?
 
Trade back and add two DL/DT pieces in that late first early/mid 2nd round range: Newton, Jenkins, Fiske, etc. and a Kneeland, Dorlus, Darius Robinson, etc. type.

Or if they are sold on Murphy and he's at 19, take him. Then add either Kneeland or Dorlus.

Either way, a much needed boost (albeit young) to the DL.

Kneeland is not a DL player. He could gain ten pounds on his frame, but he's a much better player standing up. Very solid run-stuffer with underrated pass-rushing technique.
 
I really like Fiske too. Think he is going to be a very good pro. My hopes is one of these guys is on the Rams next year now:
Murphy - AD-lite is a projection given to him. Would logically be a move we would make
Newton - Brings a lot to the table as a pass rusher and is versatile
Jenkins - beast athletically, but definitely needs to refine his skills. Could be great though
Fiske - Every game I watched of FSU last year, this guy was causing havoc
Sweat - massive human but moves with grace for that size. Even that big, gets after the QB and halts the run

Yes i know. I was talking about him as a DE type in conjunction with an interior DT type.

Okay, fair. I don't think he's a DE type, though, more like a stand-up EDGE rusher. I've watched his tape, had him in my mock (which has now been blown to hell with the AD retirement, so I'm gonna have to do it all over again), and he's a much better player as an edge OLB.

Sweat is restructuring with Philly, he’s off the table now unfortunately.

I wouldn't want anything to do from him. He's more of a 4-3 DE, and disappeared the last 8 weeks.
 
If CBs Mitchell, Arnold and Wiggins; plus Edges Turner, Verse and Latu are off-the-board, DL Byron Murphy, Jer'Zhan Newton or Braden Fiske could be serious candidates.

I'd guess Murphy goes before Wiggins, but who knows. Murphy became target #1 for me. Most disruptive pass rush is one that comes from the interior.

I guess I'm in the minority, but I don't understand how draft media ranks Murphy II over Newton who plays far more snaps and has less help.

Isn't Newton hurt right now? That might be the lone reason.
 
Obviously I will always be pro AD but anyone else surprised at the timing of it. Would you at least plan it with the rams after the draft so teams don't try to jump in front etc
