Watts and Reynolds? Not sure I get that.

Sure Watts was good, don't think he was that good though. Plenty of released RBs that are better.

Remember, rosters aren't finalized for another day or two.
 
There we go, so glad they didn't keep him simply from a negative PR standpoint, Westbrooks clearly outplayed him and who knows since he went the whole draft being passed on he just might make it to the PS.

The question I have...does Justice Cunningham make the Rams a better team than Michael Sam? Really?

He plays special teams. But, they are probably just working out an injury settlement for him given the high ankle sprain he suffered in the final preseason game.

It's got to be STs...I guess with the lack of LBs they need to find STs help somewhere.

Just remember, there are probably 2 or 3 guys that might still be cut depending on who we like on the wire, and we do need tight ends with the way this offense is built.

Wonder who they're looking at, given its likely some guys (Jones) goes to IR or something similar.

5 RBs and 5 TEs? That seems odd from a non-mathematical standpoint.

Seems like overkill.

But remember, things can and probably will change with the roster. I'm betting there is SOMEONE out there on waivers the Rams want/will pick up.
 
Yeah, I'm guessing Justice Cunningham, Barrett Jones, and Trey Watts are the names to watch in the coming days as the team adds players.

We only kept 5 linebackers, and I wouldn't be surprised to see us get another QB. I think a TE could be expendable, even in an exchange. RB could be expendable in a move also.

First of all, I'm comparing them as prospects and not what they've done in the NFL. Obviously. Second, there were 5 1st round WRs in 2014. Are you done embarrassing yourself yet?

No. here's no embarrassment in being mistaken, which I was, and freely admit. However, that still doesn't make your point. You said the draft was deeper...there's NO WAY to know that except in hindsight.

"Prospects" are not what makes a draft deep...the ONLY way to know is in what they DO!

I say, eventually, drop a TE and RB. Pick up a QB and a LB. Or a QB (Shaw) and a RB (Josey). ;)
 
I expected to keep 10 offensive lineman, with our track record of injuries.

Got to believe Cunningham and Watts remain firmly on bubble.

I think it's fair to add Reynolds to that list, but yes, that would be my bottom list too.
