I imagine Robinson will be back, cant see a reason why he wouldnt.
I'm more concerned about the TE role at this point, maybe with Kupp gone they will actually run more 12

This would be a very underwhelming WR room IMO.

Now if that rookie was the 26th pick, like a Matthew Golden or Egbuka, then that would be much better. The offense needs to add some dynamic, explosive players to it and I'm not seeing Robinson and Lazard as the answer there.

I don't think godwin is that either... he is more of a possesion reciever.

Higgins is a bit more explosive - but his production over his career is not overly impressive.

Definitely some tough decisions, and a lot depends on what other positions can be upgraded through FA. I am not sure that there will be a WR at #26 that would be a better bet than a TE (supposedly really good draft class) or a RT (Hav is not getting any younger). I think we all want to see more speed at WR (and at RB, truthfully), but it was eye-opening how much better this offense looked with Higbee back, and how god-awful that right side protection was when Hav was hurt.

We are also going to address CB at some point, and ILB, ideally, to really elevate this D to elite status.

Unfortunately, that is going to be the definition of the Rams offense
Tons of question marks

Well only depending on what they do. We know what we have in Puka. We know the line is good with healthy. Only questions are who is WR2 and if they want kyren to continue on as the starter.

The oline has a ton of Q's though, is Limmer the long term C? Who's at RT? WR is a huge question, namely can Puka make it thru a full season without getting injured? Heck, RB was the one position that seemed stable until..... Well you know.....
 
The only high end receivers in free agency will command a top tier contract. Not worth it in my opinion. I'd say trade down and pick one on day 2. The money you don't spend on a high end receiver you can use to bring back Robinson and improve the back end of the defense. Maybe Whittington can be a solid possession receiver. And maybe a speed receiver to stretch the field. I don't know why they don't try more deep shots with Tutu. He's usually the fastest guy on the field when he's out there. Not sure if he's not up to the task or they just don't want to risk wasting a down when it doesn't work.

A high draft pick doesn't mean a successful career at any position.

I think Whittington will take over Kupps role and have similar production.
But this opens up using our first round pick on a WR if a good one is there and no suitable CB is available.
Gotta have that three headed beast to run McVays offense.

Yeah true. Need to figure out center. Feels like Havenstein should be back.

Boy, I'd love Godwin here. He will be far cheaper then Higgins (IMO) and is a vet who was extremely effective last year before injury.

Probably a more reasonable signing is Slayton, who will bring more speed to the offense and won't cost too much.

No doubt about it, we will also draft likely 2 WR's, and I'd bet money, one will be with our first pick.
 
With Kupp gone I expect we will still want at least 1 vet in the WR room, so look for Robinson to return now IMO, as he has expressed an interest, knows the system, can be had relatively cheaply, and Stafford trusts him - particulary in the end zone.
