This looks like a deep playoff roster if the secondary sorts out.

Running the ball should be more successful, more potent, and we are not dependent on one back for the first time in the McVay era. It took him long enough. Lot of getting kicked in the nuts by this group. But he got there.

Stopping the run should be stronger as well. One thing I felt was coming this year was AD transitioning to a rush specialist. This is because he is small and has to work harder to win vs the run. But I don't think even last year it was ideal having him in there in obvious rush downs, unfortunately we needed him in there because the depth wasn't good enough for that role. This year however there's going to be a stronger rotation for that run front. Jones should be set up for success and he's playing for a contract as well which means I expect a top season from him. Biggest question vs the run is the secondary, their ability to tackle consistently in space.

Pass defense should be significantly improved, probably the strongest unit improvement on the roster due to the additions and safety overhaul.

Pass game maybe sees a slight improvement with Nacua in year two, Kupp hopefully being fully healthy, and Stafford hopefully getting better protections.

Teams should be vastly improved in the kicking game. Hopefully there will be a focus on the bottom of the roster being coverage types as well to boost that element.

One thing I think will be really important is a quick start. You need that to get a high seed. But this roster looks to me like it will compete well in division and give SF all they can handle and hopefully win a shit ton of games.

Sprinkle in a LITTLE more vet leadership on defense and the sky’s the limit. Then consider a stud add before the trade deadline to boost the end of the season into the playoffs.

This draft, it sure seems that in almost every round the Rams got their guy.
Its a rare draft and this team is going places.
Here is to the END of teams running right up the gut on us and winning.
More 3rd and longs and teams having to abandon the run letting our pass rushers pin their ears back and go all in on the rush.
Good times ahead fellas.
AND we now have the O line to demoralize them in the 4th quarter.
Stafford will have plenty of time and our receivers will get theirs.
This is going to be good !

The roster has the potential to be a championship team.

Question marks for me:
The rookie class
White
Kupp
Rozenboom?
A. Jackson

Excellent point.
Both Kupp and White are big question marks. If either goes down (again) or are not up to their “usual”, this draft doesn’t look as shiny.

I will say I have more faith in Kupp than White.

As for the rookie class, I’m confident in Verse and Fiske and I’m thinking Jackson is gonna bump Hampton off the roster. If our new NT can perform in a rotation, that a fantastic haul to get Shula and his defense.

And the OL looks awfully scary.

This is a good looking roster…on paper…a couple days after the draft.

I'm not shitting you, Corbin. He got popped for it because wasn't an approved and prescribed use by a doctor/therapist and because it increases athletic prowess with extra testosterone.

We are projected to approximately $7.8m in remaining cap space after we sign our rookie draft class. With that said, I can see a possibility that Witherspoon returns on another 1 year contract. I personally think we will could be looking at at another signing or 2 post Jun 1st and prior to training camp.

Surely, they’ll save a little to pick up that fit that gets cut.

Kupp must be looking pretty good, we didn't draft a WR early. He said he feels good and wants a monster year. Let's hope mongo comes back this year and he can set some new records!
