I saw that the Rams met with Edgerin Cooper. He’s listed as an OLB, not specifically an edge.

He’s light for an edge. But he may be the best LBer in the draft. I don’t understand the fit combined with draft slot. Do they use a a mid second on him, if they do some trading?

Maybe they think they could get some weight on him and teach some pass rush moves. He’s very good in coverage.
He'd look real nice next to Jones. :hug:

I've seen a lot suggest he's similar to Micah Parsons, not that he's that good necessarily, but that he can play inside or out.

I may be reading you wrong but you said you don't know about what I said then agreed with me?
I am not sure he is the line up anywhere in the box and be effective chess piece that Parsons is. I think he is strictly a second level player, and more of a run and chase type LBer.

Fair enough, all I was saying is I've read a lot of the "draft experts" make the versatility comment that he can do both like Parsons. Even so I'd take an ILB with that kind of ability to rush the passer from that position. In addition to his excellent ILB skills.

Rozeboom upgrade...very much needed. Guessing more teams are looking at the Ravens, Niners, and even the Chiefs model of 2 good LBs that can cover, play the run, and blitz.
 
Wouldn’t that be a turn of events

Since the Rams finally have a first round pick, if they think they have a shot at a real, long term impact player, I’d be happy if they made the move. The Rams super stars are getting older. They need the next wave to go with Turner, Young and Puka.
It would be something wouldn't it. I'd be surprised if they were to move up for a WR. I would think it'd be to ensure they get a LT of the future. But you never know with these guys.

Also Les mentioning the interviews being tracked makes me think there could be misdirection afoot as well. No telling what they've got planned but it's fun to think about.
 

They might be looking at a guy like him being able to play inside for a yr, if they can't keep Dotson, and then eventually replace Havenstein since he was a RT at UGA.

Or they see him as an upgrade at LT over Jackson.

However, I can see the Dotson replacement/ future RT plan.

And yes, not keen on projecting OTs to OGs, but the guy has the size and mobility to be at least solid inside until he moves back to RT.

Also a valuable asset for the overall team construction if they move on from Noteboom. He at least has the tools to back up both OT positions, although a little scary to count on a rookie to do that.

But he does mention that the Rams would rather have a 2-3 hour sit down with a prospect. I didn't even know that was in the rules. Really thought that no contact was allowed between teams and prospective players after the combine was over

Maybe he was referencing the 30 Draft-prospect-visits allowed for each team.
