Memphis Ram Mock 3.0

Memphis Ram said:
Upon further review, while I still believe that two late 1st round picks is a decent price for a young premium pass rusher in his prime, the Panthers cap situation just might help get a cheaper deal done.

You made me salivate... haha! That said, it would be interesting to see if they could fit him and AD under the cap. AD contract runs out this year but we pay for a voided year next year, meaning if we resign AD we would have to pay him, pay for his voided year from his last contract, plus whatever we pay Burns. Its possible I guess given we really arent paying anyone else other than Staff and Kupp... And yes, it would definitely necessitate a CB, LT/RT and IOL in the draft.

OMG, the Daily Breeze!

Been forever since I picked one up.

Also jelly y’all learned to surf. I went to Samohi and never had any surfing friends so never learned… I tried once on a way too small board, but it was very fun.

Imagine if nfl players could pass the ball backwards like this while moving forward. How many more tds they could score. So much easier to pass to an open player than try to beat a defender.

Can’t players pass the ball behind them no matter where they are on the field ?

Expect the Unexpected this Offseason?

WestCoastRam said:
I'm not so sure it's silly given the talent there and our need (both this year and starting next year) and we do need to see what happens in the 1st round of FA.

But, I think there's absolutely a strategy to follow if the Rams want to of making one unit elite and the other good enough. I don't know that trying to have unit parity really works in getting you to a Superbowl (not saying you're saying that). But what if we jack up the offense a little more and then add 2-3 more pieces to the defense to get it to be a bit more serviceable and roll that way.
Click to expand...
I more meant initially, it seemed silly to me. Now? I see where people are coming from on the WR thing.

I think I'm saying exactly what you're describing.. getting the offense to absolute flame-throwing good.. and have a defense that is decent.

2024 NFL free agency: Ranking available salary cap space for all 32 teams

PhillyRam said:
I didn't mention Wilson...I could hopefully see Wentz here and a rookie.

I wonder if the Rams think Milton is workable and they take a flyer on him earlier than some would expect? With 153 & 154, they may use one of those picks on a reach...a guy they like, but a little earlier than most would draft the player. You use one of those because you don't want to lose the guy.
Click to expand...
Yeah more of a tangental point that I looped him in on as it relates to keeping 3 QBs. Wilson, alone, probably has a better arm than any of the guys not named Milton later in the draft. I just wouldn't want him as a number 2 as I don't think you can trust him to win a game.

Really nice Dotson breakdown

Rob Havenstein

9 seasons
130 regular season starts (out of 147 games)
11 playoff starts, including 2 Super Bowls
35 penalties in 8,881 career snaps
Starter on 5 Top 10 offenses
Yeah…get rid of the bum! :explode1:

Havenstein has given the Rams the most consistency and stability at that position since Jackie Slater.
oldnotdead said:
My problem with Havenstein is his play. This is a pass heavy offense and pass protection has always been his weakness. Havenstein has always been a run blocking type of RT which is what "old school" RTs were. That was fine when they had Gurley as their RB and the offense was more run heavy. But now the run game is designed to open up the passing game with an inside run attack. This is a different offense than Sean ran with Gurley which was a perimeter run game.

They are overpaying Havenstein simply because they needed stability on the OL and the rest of the OL was a mess. But now this OL is much better and I would prefer to allocate those cap dollars to someone like Dotson. This is the financial reality we are talking about. Who is worth more a top run blocking RG for a run game that is designed to run inside or a limited RT who is fine in run blocking but struggles to pass protect?
Click to expand...

Our offense has done very well with Havenstein blocking for us, up until the present day. RT was a persistent hole in the Rams starting lineup from the end of the GSOT era until Havenstein took over. Those 15 years were filled with first round underachievers who couldn't make at LT (Alex Barron, Jason Smith) to other teams castoffs (Barry Richardson, Joe Barksdale).

Your proposed solutions would make right tackle an annual problem again.

My one and only draft thread this year...possibly ever

OldSchool
Merlin said:
DBs are a real pain to watch and try to get a handle on due to camera angles. Unless you have access to college team all-22 which I do not have. What I don't like about him is guys seem to separate on him (in comparison to the others listed up there). So it'll be interesting to see his workout at the combine, like his cone time which the Rams seem to put priority on, as well as that 40.


Indeed. When I was looking at Nabers one of the games was vs Bama, and it was clear that they didn't want McKinstry on him, it was mostly Arnold.

Yeah McKinstry started the year with the hype but imo Arnold out played him.

My Pre-Combine Draft Board

Memphis Ram said:
Because you called him a knife or a really nice knife when he's actually a gun.

A bigger, faster, weapon who can line of all over the formation is a far bigger matchup problem than Kupp or Nacua if used properly. He would be opening up things for them moreso than the other way around. Especially the 2023 version of Kupp. That's a true impact player. A difference maker. A gun.

Sure, there will be some other talent at #19 at the positions you list. But this is also one of the deeper, if not deepest, draft classes at those very same positions.

Difference makers over hole fillers.

I don't know about this gun/knife metaphor, but if teams are stupid enough to let Bowers fall to us, we should make them pay. He's a HOF-level talent.
