Granted, those didn't work out. Thomas still plays on another level than those two did when they were in stripes. Signing him would give us a veteran presence for the young guys, and added flexibility entering the draft. http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/3135/thomas-davis Eh, pass. I'm a hoping a new coach means a new emphasis on LB play. Not just scrounging in the scrap heap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theJ Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I haven't felt great about the LB's since Dhani Jones suited up. Been a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVillain112 Posted January 11, 2019 Author Share Posted January 11, 2019 Assuming we hire Zac Taylor, here are the free agent Rams players: Sean Mannion Malcolm Brown - RFA Rodger Saffold Ethan Westbrooks Dante Fowler Jr. Morgan Fox Ndamukong Suh Dominique Easley Matt Longarce Bryce Hager Cory Littleton Ramik Wilson Sam Shields Tory Hill - RFA Blake Countess - RFA LaMarcus Joyner I could see a case being made to sign the following: Sean Mannion, QB: Not great but could be a decent backup Ethan Westbrooks, DE: Nice rotational DE. Replacement for Michael Johnson Cory Littleton, LB: He plays LB and we need a lot of them. Ramik Wilson, LB: See above comment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we go after any of them, go all in on a quality DL. It doesn't have to be a rams player, but with the wealth of draftees coming up, I think the route top go is sign a free agent (who might not get as much on the open market due to the draft class) and a starting RT. Then draft LBs high with another CB, OT and other lesser needs mixed in. If we fill different needs in free agency, draft a d-lineman early Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmittyBacall Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I had a keen eye on Saffold and Littleton last night. Both looked good. Littleton made some nice tackles and had a standout play in coverage. Saffold was mauling people all night. He plays LG for the Rams but I think he looks athletic enough for multiple OL spot - most notably, RT. I don’t think he’ll command a huge deal either.

I'm thinking RG myself, but if he can play RT that would work too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But any trade would be terrible, because that contract is too much for a backup QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine the Blackburn's and Tobin okay'd the idea of trading Dalton, or bringing in Tannehill to back him up, during the interview process. I would also be shocked if they gave him full autonomy to make a drastic move such as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beck Bristow Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I just saw a draft on cbs where the bengals traded don to 15 and drafted Jonah Williams. So, that's cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Nix Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I don’t see the point in bringing in Tannehill unless they are getting some sweet deal on trading away Dalton. Just change for the sake of change at that point. Now if we are drafting a QB and letting him start from day 1 and trade away Dalton to a team like the Redskins for a 2nd and 3rd I could do that.
