I guess I'm a lone wolf here. I don't think the Rams are in that bad of shape at WR going into next season IF everybody that was injured can come back strong. (Amendola, Salas, Clayton, etc.)
Would Blackmon be an attractive option? Hell yeah but I think there are bigger holes to fill now.
You are not alone. We are not that far away here at WR. Yes, there are much bigger holes to fill than signing a WR in the first round. Not that I'm against it if he's the best rated player where we pick, because it is a need.
As I see it, Rams 3 biggest needs are:
DT
CB
WR
As it happens, reportedly, those are the 3 deepest areas in this draft.
I agree that those are all big needs, unfortunately at CB. You don't think offensive line is a big need. Can you please explain?
At CB and DT the Rams need multiple picks. And one at each position will need to start from game one. But from a overall view there isn't a unit other than QB and DE that doesn't need a upgrade. With little left of the dev. type players still on the roster this will be the most important draft in years.
They have a core now so here comes the complementary players.
OL is the biggest need...If we can't keep Bradford vertical this team can'r win any games, period. Kalil is perfect if he's there, if not trade down is the common theme. and It's a great idea. But.
No Kalil I'm picking Trent Richardson at 2 or 3. Most talented player in the draft not named Luck. He's a playmaker and will put points on the board. He will help win games.
Wait, but we have SJax?
Not in my plan. it's time to give him a gold watch to match his spikes and move on. He's still great and one of the best in the game but Richardson will win the Rams more games over the next 4 years than Jackson and at a lower cap number. I'm taking Jacksons 6.34 cap money and getting two solid OL men. Don't need to be all pro types, but just steady and fit the blocking scheme. They must work well with the new OL coach.
Cap money is tight next season and sometimes you got to let go of the past to embrace the future.
It's about wins.
