For everyone on this forum, the Rams' QB coach's name is ZAC TAYLOR - not Zach or Zak or Zack or any other spelling I've seen on this forum. As much speculation as I have seen about him it's pretty crazy how no one can spell the guy's name right. 

With that said I'd be fairly happy with this outcome for the offseason minus hiring Toub.

Thanks for the spelling correction and Toub could be a sleeper HC.

Yes I get why people like Toub and he would be high on my non-offensive coaches list. I like your overall player acquisition and the coaching staff would be impressive either way.

sigh ..  another off-season another mock draft of a Bulaga release and YAY now we can add Daniels / Perry into this category that makes no sense to release at either their dead cap created versus money saved or for having a single down year in a new system. 

[Victor1124]

I get trying to be creative but not sure I understand why we would get rid of Daniels, Adams, and Lancaster just to draft 3 defensive line in a row with our first three picks. Not to mention we go into next year with Barrett/Fackrell/Gilbert being our top three OLB with nothing proven behind them.

I’d be pretty mad about this purely based off the bait and switch that the Texans pull on us by offering #27 then giving us #28

I would be pretty pissed if GB traded away the best draft pick they have had in 10 years to go back down to the typical draft area.  Stay at 11 and take a top tier talent.  If a move down were to happen, I would want it to be a small one and with a team that is likely to be bad in 2020 and get a 2020 1st.  

HOU as a good deal of talent and a  LOT of cap space going into 2019 (~7th most when adding in 2018 rollover).  That team's arrow is point up

This off season would be so bad I might start rooting for the Lions if it went down this way.

I'll buy you a hat.  LOL!!!

That's an outlandish and completely unrealistic coaching staff mock.  

 

 

Would kill to have that coaching staff but it would never happen.  Outside of that, don't care for this mock at all for the most part.  

 

- Even with us stealing Richard, paying a 32 year old safety that just ruptured his Achilles 12 million a year would be a terrible decision. 

- Do not see any sense in releasing either Buluga or Daniels.  We can afford to have both of them and still draft their replacements this off season. 

- Why would a 26 year old starting RT only sign a 2 year contract?  Seems like we're making a slight down grade or lateral, for more money?

- Would love to have James for that contract as I believe he's a much better all around player than Jimmy Graham. 

- Don't love Barrett.  His production isn't very good considering he's never had to battle a double team.  Hard pass for me with numbers like that.

- Don't mind the Kearse signing.  Not a star but he's cheaper, younger, more durable and arguably better than Cobb. 

- Don't love the draft.  DL is this team's strength so I'm not sure we're getting our best bang for the buck by using 2 of our top 3 picks on them.  Have questions about Hakeem Butler as well.  Would much prefer a more polished WR than taking the same route we took last year drafting more so based on measurables instead of skill.  Would rather have a Adams type who was ultra productive in college than a MVS type who was an elite athlete but a mediocre WR.
