Anyone think that with a starting 3 of JJ, EG and TJ, plus LJ and Roberson, we might have some tradable depth come cut-down time? Corners are always needed, by everyone. Hoping Gaines's injury isn't bad, as it sounds... but what say y'all?
 
After today's (hopefully just a) scare with EJ, I think it is far too early to even hope the Rams can trade from a strength, as opposed to need to pick somebody else up.
 
I'd stand pat. Unless someone calls offering legitimate first 3 or 4 rounds real estate, I'm not moving one of them for anything. We're far from the Legion of Boom, but it'd be damn nice to grow what we have into a strong 4 deep group.
 
It's important to have depth at the secondary in today's league. Having that dimeback or 5th CB in 4-5 WR sets helps shut down a pass-happy offense, especially in hurry-up situations. In the event that our starting three gets injured, getting reps for McGee and Roberson will come in handy.
 
I'm okay with keeping all 6. There were times last season when we had so many corners injured, we had to use safeties. Some games we could only dress 3.

I think our depth is great, and we need to keep that depth. When it comes to corners, you can never have too many.

All of them are coming on too. Even McGee apparently, they really like him. Roberson had a standout day today. Joyner made some big plays. It's awesome the depth we have.
 
IMO the Rams still need an elite CB, so i'm not in favor of looking to jettison anyone...unless it's for an elite corner of course.

I mean if it one is going to get cut and you can get a pick for them by all means. I'm not deleting talent off this roster that can make the team. We need all the quality players we can get. We have to compete for a playoff spot. The future has to star now.
 
We have great CB depth and may I add our Safety depth is starting to look pretty damn good as well.

Fuck it all just send whatever team Al Harris. Also add in Bradley Fletcher, too. - I'm off soapbox.
