year after year our scouting Dept. and positional coaching finding diamonds in the rough
and coaches polishing until they shine. If a undrafted kid wants to seriously put in the work
Then the Rams have one of the best support systems in place , to help kids turn that raw talent
into NFL players.

Josh Wallace has flipped the switch to become bona fide NFL CB

Wesley Bailey Still a little raw but all arrows are pointing upward..
Plays with such a high motor.. Love watching him play..

I know i probably missed some of the recent UDFA;s feel free to add

With corners and coverage stats you gotta look at who they draw. I love to see how Wallace has been playing. But how many draws have been top weapons on the opposing offense. Probably not many.

I poopooed Bailey the first few outings because he looked lost.

But props to the man for turning it up and locking in. Overall game needs alot of work but he is making plays so far!

Wallace is a great story and our secondary if healthy may be the X factory assuming Garrett comes back and we can cover the middle of the field with someone else besides Landman. Great dude, major hole in the pass defense.

SUCH BS thinking again.I’ll say against Dallas last year in a scrimmage at Oxnard he looked lost & got Burned by Turpin & Pickens.It was like his 2nd season
& was trying to make a name for himself.
The cool thing about Wallace is he kept playing hard.He is a WINNER!! He helped Michigan win a National Championship with Blake Corum & Isaiah Stewart.

Jaylen McCollough was another UDRFA in 2024 season where he WON The Rams a couple games coming off a 4 INT 40 tackle season.

During the preseason of 2025 Josh Wallace really showed VALUE being able to play in the Nickle & Dime coveraging inside & being a willing tackler.He continued to work hard & found himself playing more in 2025.Had an int against Seattle that almost helped The Rams win that game.

FAST FORWARD to 2026 !! Freaking against The BRONCOS- talk about payback from the SAINTS win with Roby-Coleman which switched The REPLAY of PI !! He picked Mix Off to win on the Road with a INT they took away(a Rams Win).
On that Cardinals game FREAKING CRAP CALL - how is that a Personal Foul to put Arizona in FG to win another game The Rams had also almost WON !
Then in between those CRAP CALLS in Buffalo another PI call & then perfect coverage I believe before half ?? Josh Allen some how put the ball right between his arm & helmet for a TD in the End of the End Zone.

IMO Josh Wallace has played GREAT this season.The STATS show even with THE NFL(Refs) against him ??
I guess they have a memo out to call all the PU’s on number #30

I would throw in Speights. He’s a solid run stopper, hits like a truck.

I heard Landman’s name came up as well who I believe was a UDRFA for Atlanta ?

Let’s add Shawn Dolac to the list
& now this season Darly Peterson who imo will have a better NFL career than Dolac ???

Peterson & Bailey have been pushing each other & are going to be a part of that Rams Rookie UNDRAFTED list

It’s a good thing to hit on UDFA's so well like our Rams since we trade away so many of draft picks. Along with UDFA's Rams have really seemed to hit their 3rd and 5th rounders. They seem to do better with their 3rd rounders than with their 2nd rounders and many more 5th rounders have hit than 4th rounders. Maybe they should trade away the 2nd and 4th rounders and just stockpile 3rd and 5th rounders.

A couple guys on the IR , Mattew Caldwell will be a nice 3rd string QB next season.

Justin Dedich is in a good spot.Next season The Rams might need to cut weight upfront ? He is a twinner,but over the last 2 seasons has really stepped up when needed.The Rams have a few OLineman becoming Free Agents.
Trost who is a rookie still on IR might keep them pushing each in tough times right now fir them.

Ronnie Rivers has been another UDRFA who has been a solid Ram 3rd string RB. Dean Connor’s is going to be that new guy.Jordan Waters is still working hard to fine the field as well..

Maybe finding a way on by returning Kick Offs ?

Chances are that time will demonstrate he's a third matchup type.

Also there's nothing wrong with that. It's not some terrible thing to call that level of player what he is. But if you want to set up a protest and march to DC about it by all means knock yourself out.

How you handle the bottom of the roster and UDFA is huge..
The Rams have a MASSIVE win on their roster in Alaric..

Wallace is solid.. I think he's a great example of a guy fitting with the coaching and scheme. I said on another thread, I don't think he's getting #2 corner money on the market.. just isn't quite that guy. And, as @Merlin posted.. there's nothing wrong with that!! He's valuable to the Rams right now!

Bailey.. setting up to be possibly an Alaric-type roster value. He's already showing promise and has the physical tools to grow as a player much, much more.

The more I see of Bailey, the more I believe that we don't resign Young. Stewart and Bailey will be enough.

Wasn't my intention if I implied he's a top CB.
To me he's a 3rd year udfa who has had a breakout year so far
and having McDuffie and Watson I'm sure softens his draw
Aside from that he is a huge asset as the CB3.
He is T5th on the team with 20 solo Tkls.. 5 PD's and a pick.
Makes for a hellacious trio..

A lot of the starting LT's in the league are first round picks. It is extremely rare to find a starting caliber LT in the UDFA lottery. Let alone one who is in the upper tier of LT's in the NFL. I think AJ is in the upper third of the stating LT's and if it were not for his suspensions, he might be rated even higher.

The physical requirements to play LT are probably the most restrictive of any position and since the talent pool is more limited it gets picked over quickly and it pushes those guys up draft boards. They need good size and length with long arms and but they also need quick feet and the mental tenacity to play the position. IMHO tackle is one of the premier position groups and the only other position group where it is harder to find a starting caliber player as a UDFA is probably QB.

Edge and CB are also premium positions where many teams expend more draft capital so finding guys like Wallace and Bailey are great values.

Speights an Dolac are great finds but the Rams MO is to fill that position group with UDFA’s or lower cost FA’s.
