well shit, let's keep everyone!
QB - 3
RB - 4
WR - 6 ... 7 WRs in 2024 was miss-leading because of the Kupp and Nacua injuries, and Smith was a PR-only
TE - 4
OL - 9
SP - 3
DL - 6
LB - 4
Edge - 4
DB - 9

That's only 52, so there would be a roster spot for one additional OL, Edge or DB.

Injuries and a couple of disappointments usually make some of the final roster cuts easier than expected but the Rams figure to have a couple tough ones; and, could lose a Practice Squad player or two ... or three.

Almost always a couple of surprises.

LB is a bit tricky too, Speights, Landman & likely Reeder Whether we all agree or not, Leaving Paul, Neal, Dolac & Fields at minimum.

Add that extra guy to the DL for a total of 7.
 
Pff gave Willie Lamkin the highest grade on the team yesterday. Pulling for him.
Watched him serving 'pancakes' over on X -- FOUR of them. Other plus plays as well.
I don't care how tall he is. I just want a stud OC for once. It makes a major difference in the offense when the DL can't push him into the QB's lap all day long.

Maybe but D-Linemen don't get as many snaps as they once did. Many defensive sets have just two DL.

For me, it comes-down to Murchison or Johnson ... and ... I MUCH prefer Desjuan Johnson because, most every time he plays, I think he flashes.
 
Like Greg Robinson badly?
Any draftniks here know if OT is going to be a deep position in the '26 draft?
I think that's the only way we draft a real starter at LOT next year, because 1st round we're going all in at QB (supposedly). So we'd have to find a LT gem (which Snead's good at) somewhere in rd 4.
But I'm intrigued by what we have playing out at LOT, with A-Jax's condition, and now a few depth guys looking good this game.

I think I read somewhere where there are possibly good LTs into the 3rd round next year.

You are correct. The 6 DL (DE/DT) snap counts last year:

Kobie T. (74.8%)
Fiske (59.3%)
Brown (42.3%)
Gallimore (29.1%)
Davis (28.5%)
Desjuan (17.6%)

Murchison was IR'd last year. Activated on October 4, was reinjured in practice and IR'd again on October 5th. I'd agree with your Murchison or Johnson premise. Gallimore and Brown, both NTs are gone, replaced by Poona Ford and Ty Hamilton. Davis isn't listed as a NT, though I thought that was his position.
 
If Lamkin stacks performances like THAT.... He will be a Ram for sure. That dude moves people.

WTF - in the first place anyone wanting to go 12 personnel.

Davis Allen is NOT getting CUT!!

Some folks are living in a OZZY World still. Crazy Train.

The funniest thing is I saw something in Saturday’s game no one even reports & I’m thinking about all The STEVIE WONDER FANS & REPORTERS!!!

From what I saw & couldn’t from the Cowboys Scrimmage stood out the most.Maybe The NFL didn’t see it,plus another observation.

This Kool thing is that Zak ,Allen,& Wendell have done an outstanding job developing young talent.My Fear is they get claimed,which will be the most interesting thing.

I just see SO much talent,mainly on offense.Then again it’s against a very POOR DEFENSE!!!
Too damn early.to decipher this.
The OL is tough to figure out right now. Word is that McClendan was taking snaps at LT over Humphries for the last week or two. So amongst the OTs I'm not sure who's in the lead.

On the interior, all four of Limmer, Dedich, Lampkin, and Leveston seem to be doing well. It's hard to see only two of them making it.

On the TEs, Ferguson is likely 4th on the depth chart, but he's safe of course as this year's 2nd round pick. Parkinson is getting 2nd string snaps and Davis is reportedly one of the stars of TC. Maybe they trade one?
The disrespect here is feverish, can't anybody spell McClendon correctly, damn guys. It's like reading something from SO Ram.
 
I think that Redder might be a cut to 53 and picked up a week later. He's unlikely to be picked up vs. others
After watching Paul and Dolac, Reeder shouldn't even sniff a roster spot or a place on the practice squad. Get this fucker as far away from this team as possible. This spellchecker shit has to stop already, fucking irritating. Besides, it doesn't even help some posters.
