Rams who have come and gone via 2025 Free Agency

[OldSchool]

I am a big fan of Kings and also like Bassa but for completely different skill sets. Bassa is a more complete player at this stage and wont make to deep into day 3 if he gets there at all. King would be a great get in the 6th and would be a great 2 down guy right out of the gate.

I tend to see Bassa mocked around the 110-130 range. But as always things can change and likely will.

 

[OldSchool]

If they go Martin it will be to pair him with Speights, who stays where he is. He adds range and tackling in space for the pairing.

If they go Paul he may straight up replace Speights in his role.

I think Paul would be a good compliment to Speights.

 

[Allen2McVay]

I don't give a rats ass care at all about wagering

You should have taken the bet ... FOR ...

 

[den-the-coach]

I think Paul would be a good compliment to Speights.

I concur and would embrace the Paul selection plus he is a special team demon too.

 

[Memento]

@Memento ain't going to be happy,


@Memento REALLY ain't going to be happy.

Yeah, not entirely happy with either news, but I’ve become more of a Whittington fan anyway - and I expect a wide receiver or two to be selected in this draft.

 

[Merlin]

I think Paul would be a good compliment to Speights.

Yeah not saying he replaces Speights for sure. But I think Paul has a reasonable chance to take that role from him. I'd be very happy with both of them as a pairing, because I value what Speights did for us and am hoping he improves with a second camp.

Round 4 makes sense, that is deep enough where you never know but I think getting to us past our 4th at 127 is unlikely. Do we like him enough to be our 4th overall which will be toward the end of med level players, after that we are in the 6th as it stands and that's throwing darts for the most part

Martin is projected as. UDFA on DraftBuzz. I guess it’s low risk. He’s not exactly the thumping run defender that Fletcher was.

He does now.

I guess you do as well coach. I might’ve been a little late with the news though. lol

What are your thoughts on drafting an inside LBer ,or Jihaad Campbell in the 1st rd ? There’s no way I see The Rams not drafting a MLB at 101 or before that. In fact who’s to say they don’t even double dip ?We’ve seen that before as well with Les Snead !

 

[So Ram]

I don't give a rats ass care at all about wagering or being right or wrong. What you're doing is throwing darts at a make believe board and wanting to come on here and pat yourself on the back if you're actually some how finally right. The Rams under this current coach shown no priority at ILB. They've drafted a 3rd rounder, something I have also said they could do. And the only free agent ILB they've given any money two was only because they lost out on Von Miller and had money to spend so put a veteran ILB there who also worked with that same 3rd round pick. Go ahead and want Campbell at 26 all you want. I'd say there's a better chance of him dropping out of the 1st round than the Rams taking him there.

Olgetree was drafted in the 1st rs.I get it’s not under Mcvay,but Les Snead.
There’s a reason that The Rams haven’t drafted a MLB though.Ernest Jones helped The Rams win a SUPERBOWL as a starter.Granit Troy Reeder was a big part of that. Micha they had hopes for ? Littleton got paid,but was NEVER the answer.

Mcvay did pay Olgetree before trading him.Your not talking about real high quality MLBers.Bobby Wagner was a veteran that The Rams did exactly what The Hags are doing with KUPP.

DUDE there’s a new DC for The Rams.He was mainly a LBers coach.
I don’t the way THe RAMS D’ is set up that they don’t want to be GREAT!!! Weather it’s Campbell or not MLBer is a TOP PRIORITY.

It’s easy to tell,last season it was a OLB/LBer!!! They’ve messed up weather I’m right or wrong!!
The TUTU ATWELL draft is that example !! Draft a FREAKING CENTER. I wanted to trade up & get THE KING OF TUSH & PUSH !! He fell out of the first round,just like Johnathan Taylor.

Last year you were right . I liked Latu because there was no way Jared Verse was going to fall. WOW amazing season.He still blows my mind on his rookie season.

The Eagles drafted Mitchell & the Iowa db. Excellent picks.Whiterspoon should(will) be resigned. White was a joke.

The niners pick up the rams has beens . Earnest Brown,Tre Tomlinson,Floyd,D. Robinson.That said Tre leaves a spot open,but then again what CB’s have they drafted in the 1st rd under Les Snead,or OT’s for that matter.
WAIT- DON’T answer that one -LMAO.
-I stand by my post. Not just guessing to guess.It makes total SENSE!! The cards are looking that way.
-To say I know for sure ?? I go back to my beer drinking Natty Lits,beer for pick until The Rams draft a WR or DJ1 was drafted. Was it Avery who The Rams drafted ???

We can go back year by year.Your going to tell me The Rams were going to draft Todd Gurley?

Dude I know what I would’ve done & the players I would’ve circled.Jihaad Campbell is a NO BRIANER.!! I can ramble about this all day. My mind & thoughts don’t change.

 

[OldSchool]

There's not enough bourbon in the world to make me want to try to decipher that text.

You got it the Rams are absolute morons if they don't agree with you whatever just stop.

 

[So Ram]

Tavon Austin the Olgetree year ?? Traded up for a 5’6 159 lbs WR at #8. LOGIC PLEASE!!!

Same with trading up for a 5’7 165 cb. In J. Joyner. I’ll say if Jihaad Campbell is going to slip,moving back might be the call , even if The Rams don’t draft him.

There are a couple OT’s that might need time,but could be of 1st-2nd rd quality.The Rams need a OT of the future. Still a TOP MLBer is a MUST

What they did pre-McVay is irrelevant.

It's been widely reported that neither Snead or McVay highly value the ILB position. Roster evidence seems to bear that out. Last year, all the ILBs on the team were UDFAs.

Simple answer is I don’t think they are & as in the past like Higbee or Everett under Les Snead. Set themselves to get younger at a position of need. This season it’s MLBer.

Go back to the Cam Akers draft. Yes I wanted to trade up into the 1st rd to get 5 years of RB Johnathan Taylor. Having Jared Verse for 5 years is HUGE !!

Ask me how that LBer from bama is doing & Van Jefferson? I’ll take a STUD LBer this season from bama this year though. The Oklahoma MLBer who shut Bama out this season would do fine.His 40 a king with his body of work was impressive.

Holy crap you deviate from topic to topic to topic that have absolutely nothing to do with any current discussion.

Campbell is not the only way to get younger at ILB which quite honestly is an idiotic reason to draft somebody when the current three ILB's on the roster, 2 of which are UDFA the 3rd was a 5th round pick by the Browns, are all 25 or younger. We are not old at ILB. We don't need to get younger at ILB we need a starter alongside Speights and that doesn't have to happen in the 1st round and Tavon Austin has jack shit to do with why the Rams will or will not draft an ILB in the 1st round LOL

WELL you think they LEARNED something?? There’s a NEW DC who was a EJ53 Fan.Hus head got to BIG & The Rams traded him.

You don’t think The Rams were thinking about locking him up for a few more seasons?? I’ll beg to DIFFER!!! Look at what happened against PHILLY TWICE !!

Fair enough- I’ll leave it ALONE,but Oldschool already knows I’m coming back to this THREAD after the draft. I don’t do all this & that on the draft board. It’s pretty easy to figure out,but drafts are drafts ?

The Front End of The Draft a TEAM can’t miss on. The Rams are a Great Organization.They have the last part of the draft down.

I’ve seen this pattern before & since Mcvay. It’s not DEVALUING
The Postilion It’s VALUING THE PLAYER!! Sure Oldschool can say The Rams brought Bobby Wagner in because of the Extra Cap(say what?). Then on the other hand (side o a) can say well they didn’t draft a MLBEr.

DUH - ej53 & Bobby were the MLBers. Rosenboom was a decent special teams guy.There’s a CAP !

NOW THE RAMS have WHO !! That’s right some how W.H.O. Is not a thing anymore. Maybe the MLB position just goes instinct.Go look at GREAT DEFENSES.

When you can get a MLBer with speed,look at Greenwell in the Superbowl.He stays in we as Ram Fans wouldn’t have been happy.
There guy Warner was playing hurt. Look what happened.

All those 3rd & mediums become 4th downs. Anyway there you have it. I’m done & out until the draft about the draft.

But the good news is that Tutu is BACK!!
Oh, wait a minute....

I'm not going to speculate on what the Rams have leaned. I just look at the evidence.

The new DC, Shula, is the one who got rid of EJ. If the Rams valued him, they would have signed him to the $11m contract rather than trading him for pennies.

Maybe McSnead tweaks the value they place on ILB given the league's swing to more running but until we see that it's a bad assumption that their value on the position is increasing.

REALLY?? SO - what you’re basically saying is that The Rams didn’t want to sign Ernest Jones long term ? I WONDER WHY ?

My point exactly,The Rams are drafting a Young STUD MLB who is FASTER & has better COVER SKILLS.

The Rams will be lucky if Jihaad Campbell is there.That’s all I’m saying,because no matter who they pick ,it’s a win. Point being there’s a couple other MLBers in the Top 101. I’m just saying Campbell will be an excellent MLBer for The Rams.
A player that they have needed FOREVER!!!! JL55 was good,Pua was good. This guy has more speed & cover skills. —Maybe I dreaming,but you’ll watch this guy on Sunday’s.
My other point is The Rams
Can trade back if they’re looking for VALUE!!! Tying up a guy like Campbell for 4(5) years with Jared Verse would be fierce.

I could go on & on about The OT(Hav) & how they traded back to get him as well.SO - I’m not saying he is there guy,but a STARTING MLBer in The TOP 101 is FORSURE!

Is there a FA LBer out there that FITS that ?? To SAY each season is the same is PURE BS !!
