In additional fairness, one of those picks was a really nice play by him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Phillips probably convinced Snead that Talib would fit like a glove with Peters in his scheme. I gotta say, after SF pulled out, though, I'll take it. We weren't going to do any better. Some guys on our forum were saying 1st, or a 2nd/4th. At least this offseason has helped reshape the thinking to a more realistic view in this cap era.

showtime Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 The biggest question with the Rams defense is going to be their linebackers. If they could somehow get a true MLB that fits Wade Phillips' scheme, they will dominate. The Rams have the best CB tandem in the league outside of Jacksonville and the Rams defensive line is excellent led by Donald an Brockers. Either way, the Rams were already a really good team and have gotten better this off-season and we still have the draft and maybe some other potential moves to go.

We need an edge rusher more than anything. But yes, we also need an ILB.(two if Barron goes) But Wade is good at finding ILBs later in the Draft.

It won't be a reach pick out of need, one of the top 3 ILB's or a really good EDGE should be there, who'd likely be going soon anyways. And if you go EDGE Rd 1, there are viable ILB's on Day 2 for sure. Snead deserves a lot of credit for building the team to where BPA likely will also match need. That's an area where Elway's struggled at of late, and then forced need picks early. Snead's moves may not all work out, but you gotta admire the blueprint he's using, he has a clear idea of what he needs to do, and he's fearless in addressing it.

He got unfairly lumped in with Fisher's offensive incompetence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's face it, Fisher's reach has extended far and wide. Snead has really acquitted himself well since Fisher left....as have Keenum, Goff & Foles. Fisher's not just a QB killer, we can now officially call him a football serial killer. It's an oldie but goodie, now we can add Snead to this classic photo...

I don't think he's an option at safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncofan Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 BTW, in case ppl didn't realize this - Talib's signed for 2019 for 8M. So if his play hasn't slipped, he's actually controlled for 2 years. It's just more the risk of decline makes 2019 iffy - but the option is there. It's also not guaranteed, and there are no options, roster bonuses, etc. - so it's low-risk year for the Rams.

NVRamsFan Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 So many threads this could go in. Like a few have said the moves by Les Snead lately have been amazing and Siciliano put it all in one tweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
