Stafford sure can spin it. Throws a hell of a ball.
I’m a homer but I feel the Rams will find a number of quality new starters this year. What will be missing IMO and need to be obtained for 2024 is an elite Edge, shutdown CB1, likely replacement for Akers and elite LT.
Sounds about right as a starting point. Though the corners we'll see, as I am not sure what the ceiling is on our small duo of Durant and Tomlinson but I like them very much. Certainly though adding a CB1 would make the unit something to fear regardless of how things go this season.
That first round pick should be reserved for a cornerstone position for sure. LT, QB, CB, Edge. Go that route and just pick the guy you think you can hit on.
Re: Edge maybe we get lucky and Hoecht continues to progress as a strong side and we have something in Young or one of the others. This is definitely going to be a stepping stone type season though so hopefully we see some of those quality new starters you allude to, I am very hopeful on that front.
