No idea who the Rams are interested in

The Rams are a playoff team with no big holes to fill, so we will just draft BPA.

But what about the following year? As of now, next offseason we might lose (per overthecap.com)
RB: Henderson (UFA) , Jones (RFA), Calais (RFA), Hawkins (RFA)
DL: Robinson (Void), Gains (UFA), Hoecht (RFA), Copeland (RFA), Hollins (UFA), Brown (RFA)
DB: Rapp (UFA) , Long (UFA), Haley (UFA), Brooks (RFA), Gervase (UFA), Scott (UFA)

Of course, contracts will certainly be signed with some of these players and most of them are JAGs. But I think we should think further than next season.

Why will we struggle to resign Robinson or/and Gaines? We should have the cap room. Unless Robinson, Gaines, Hollins and/or Henderson break out and have monster season they should all potentially be back if we want to keep them. The more I look at this squad the better it looks both short and long term

The key remains that we need to hit on some of the draft picks and keep picking up hidden gems through FA. I would think we will be one of the most active teams following the draft yet again as we keep turning the bottom of the roster over

Why is NFL free agency before the draft? How the offseason schedule impacts roster-building decisions, big-money deals, more

The nflpa only care about vets and them making money. No way they're gonna agree to anything that risks them losing money. That means free agency will always come before the draft. Can't have teams filling needs with rookies then passing on free agents or giving low ball offers.

I agree and disagree at the same time. The NFLPA doesnt give 2 shits about the vets, they just use them as pawns. They only care about their top 10%-ers who suck up all the salary cap space. Its all about money. Stretching out the post season. The draft is THE off season event, and they need to space it from the SB so they can build up the interest level.
Of course it makes much more sense to have the draft before free agency, but its not about sense, its about dollars and cents

Henry Ellard and Hollywood both belong in the HOF

True, but members of a squad tend to go into the HOF in bunches from teams that win multiple Super Bowls. Also, those guys made memorable catches in the most important games, like I would say Cooper Kupp did in this last Super Bowl. Don't get me wrong, I loved Jackson, but he never had a moment in a game like Swann did, forever memoralized on the cover of Sports Illustrated after a Super Bowl win....

That was John Stallworth on the SI. As for Hal, he made plays in big games. Remember the play in the 74 NFC title game when Harris escaped the blitz and hit #29 around midfield with Jackson taking it to the 2 yard line. Then Alan Page jumped offside and conned the gutless zebras into penalizing Tom Mack leading to Harris throwing a pick in the end zone on a tipped ball. Still, Jackson scored later in the game to give the RAMS hope before Bud Grant ran his 15 man defensive huddle to help scuttle any 4th quarter heroics by LA in the 14-10 loss. Then, in the 1976 NFC title game, Harold caught the TD pass that brought the RAMS within 17-13 but they came up short again in another snake bit loss.

Kevin O’Connell (free pass?)

It goes back to scheme fit. Stafford had to be reigned in to take what was given instead of waiting for the deep shot that might never be there. His reads are deep to short.

Jared is more of a conventional QB in the sense he's going to naturally look mid to deep and know where his dump-off is short. People say Goff's arm isn't good enough for the deep strike offense. Yet after watching Stafford now and when he was younger its clear his arm isn't what it used to be. Look how many of his throws are badly underthrown. IMO Stafford misses about as many deep throws as Goff. Most of Stafford's big plays have come off of YAC.

Myths go both ways. The only point I'm making is scheme fit. McVay used to hold Goff in the huddle until there were 15 seconds left. Yet he complained that Goff needed to read the defenses. But how can he with no time? Look at all the delay of game penalties and the wasted time out because of it. That's 100% on McVay. He doesn't do that with Stafford. He just calls the play and Stafford has time to read the D at the LOS. In Detroit Campbell isn't in Goff's ear until the last second. So Goff will grow with experience. Goff cut his INTs down because under McVay the sideline called the defensive reads, but DCs would shift to something else entirely during the last 10 seconds so what Goff saw wasn't what the sideline read. McVay never trusted Goff because he wasn't "his" QB, while Stafford is.

After watching both QBs it's clear that both are better scheme fits in their new offenses. Win-Win in my book. With both QBs now having a full year in their new offenses it will be interesting to watch how they fare this year. I expect both to take a step up as both will be thinking less and playing faster.

The NFCW is the Rams' to lose. The NFCN IMO will be a 3-way fight between the Vikes, Lions, and Packers who I think have fallen back to the pack.
