BStanRamFan Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 So I wanted to start a thread for next season. I have no doubts that Snead & Co will be active in the offseason overhauling this roster. Below I've added our draft capital and pending FA's. Feel free to add anything I'm missing and share your comments on how best to improve the team and get us back into contention. 2023 Draft (6 total): 2nd 3rd 6th 6th 6th 7th UFA A'Shawn Robinson Taylor Rapp Troy Hill Matt Gay Brandon Powell David Long Bobby Evans Greg Gaines David Edwards Nick Scott Floyd/Ramsey/Kupp could all be restructured. Burning questions What direction do we got in the 2nd round? What Free Agents could we target? Who could be a cap casualty? (Higbee, Noteboom) Who will be the starting RB in Week 1? Is Allen Robinson tradeable? Does Stafford 100% return? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flounch Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Well it's obvious what would be the priority in the offseason. Waiting the draft to update our OL would be a big error. We need to find several starters in the FA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rrrrrrrams Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 update the ol? the rams are set at t and c. bruss and anchrum at g. plus brewer looked ok at lg. they picked up thomas. i mean, i could see the rams get a day three guy to play at lg, but i don't think the ol will be "updated" at all that much. the biggest issue is edge and cornerback. i hope snead trades the second, third and 2024 first for defense players and collect some day three picks.

I’ve gotta disagree here. We can’t just be content with guy who looked “OK”. That’s how we got into the situation we did this year. Counting on Bruss and Anchrum as unquestioned starters at guard scares the hell out of me. We didn’t get to see a full game out of either one and Bruss looked a little overwhelmed during his preseason action. We may not do anything at LT if the team thinks we have someone starter caliber between Noteboom and Jackson, but those guards absolutely need improvement.

Being ok on the Oline still leads to being absolutely bullied up front against good fronts like SF/Titans/etc.. it’s getting annoying. We don’t have a single elite OL or even close. If they keep a similar line, I pray they get some depth… but then having average OLineman means the backup/depth players are…. Worse than average lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burning questions What direction do we got in the 2nd round? What Free Agents could we target? Who could be a cap casualty? (Higbee, Noteboom) Who will be the starting RB in Week 1? Is Allen Robinson tradeable? Does Stafford 100% return? My general thoughts as of now: I think we re-sign Matt Gay, Riley Dixon, Troy Hill, Brandon Powell, and A'Shawn Robinson. I think Nick Scott, Greg Gaines, and David Edwards are priced out of our range. If the Browns cut John Johnson III, I think we'll work to bring him back. I could see us pursuing a HB through FA or a trade. Antonio Gibson from Washington seems like a great pick because he would be relatively cheap for a year, shouldn't cost too much in a trade, has shown flashes of ability (including 1000+ yards last year), and has a lot of untapped potential (college WR with a 4.39 40 who runs hard). I also could see Matt Hennessy being a trade target. He shouldn't cost much either, has fallen out of favor with Atlanta, and he's the type of OL we generally like (C/OG versatility, intelligent, and agile). I'm not sure if we'll try to make a major splash in FA. If we do, my guess would be a pass rusher. Some cut candidates are Romeo Okwara and Frank Clark. (Charles Harris would be another cut candidate available at a cheaper price.) Yannick Ngakoue or Marcus Davenport would be more swing for the fences signings. We could also bring back Dante Fowler as a cheaper signing. I doubt Noteboom or Higbee are cap casualties. I don't expect them to overhaul the OL. We may bring in a vet this offseason and will likely draft a guy, but I imagine they'll bank on getting guys back from injury. I doubt anybody is trading for Robinson. It sounds as of now like Stafford is returning. The starting HB is up in the air. I could see us making a trade (Gibson is the name I tossed out), signing a FA (Kareem Hunt, David Montgomery, D'Ernest Johnson, Tony Pollard, etc.), or drafting a guy highly (Jahmyr Gibbs, possibly?). The second round pick likely depends on FA. My guess is edge rusher or HB (if we don't sign one or make a trade). I also expect we'll trade down unless somebody very special is there in the second round. I am hoping a team will hire Raheem Morris so we land a comp 3rd. If that happens, I'd love for us to hire Vic Fangio. Additionally, we're going to have more picks than that. We're projected to land four comp picks (5th, 5th, 6th, and 7th). If Raheem gets hired away, that'll land us a comp 3rd on top of those picks. Edited December 11, 2022 by jrry32 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrry32 Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 I'll say this, if we don't go out and grab a top HB in FA, Jahmyr Gibbs will be our pick at the top of the second round if he's there. JMO. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamPackFan Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 (edited) Did a mock draft simulator earlier and this is what i came up with: 2/35 - Jahmyr Gibbs - RB/Alabama 3/67 - Blake Freeland - OT/BYU 5/131 - Tuli Tuipuloto - Edge/USC 6/163 - Cedric Tillman - WR/Tennessee 6/173 - Nick Broeker - OG/Mississippi 6/179 - Henry To'o To'o - LB/Alabama Edited December 15, 2022 by RamPackFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pf9 Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 The Rams currently have the longest active Thanksgiving drought, last appearing in 1975. They play at Dallas next year. Thus that game should be on Thanksgiving. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDY10 Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 So if Raheem gets hired we get comp picks…what about Thomas Brown going somewhere to be an OC..? We get picks for that or no? Also, do we get any picks this year or do they start next year like it does for players? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe it's this year for starting point on potential Rah picks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
