Curious how you would do that with the corner group, knowing four of them departing (3 FAs plus cutting Williams) is likely.

I'm guessing they sign one vet who is solid. But they can't really fill both starting jobs in FA. And I don't think that would be their style either.

This year is just gonna be one of those years where everyone knows the Rams are a team you jump ahead of if you need a corner.

I remain skeptical that they cut Williams without knowing whether they can retain any of their outgoing free agents. They may make an effort to resign Durant or McCreary before free agency. If they do, then they cut Williams; if they don't, Williams stays.

I also see them signing a vet as one of the starters. Forbes may be the other.

But the biggest, and in my opinion, erroneous assumption is that needing a starter means they will draft it early. We saw this before in the 2022 draft when they picked four secondary players, starting with Durant in the 4th round.

Their style would be to sign a vet - Durant or McCreary or my hope of Jaylen Watson - and draft the other starter, if it's not Forbes, at 167. 3rd round at the earliest. That's their style based on history.

They didn't have 2 first round picks and 4 picks in the top 100 in the 2022 draft.

They didn't have a secondary that completely collapsed down the stretch and cost them their best title shot since 2021, with their aging QB playing at an MVP level.

This draft class at corner may not have slam dunk top of the pile shutdown options, but it's deep. So yes maybe they don't need to use the pick at 13 on corner. How that goes comes down to how the draft falls. But they're not gonna start plugging corners in round 4 given the above.

Valid point. Go ahead and have all the hope in the world. I'm not getting my hopes up when they've had 24 1st to 3rd round picks over 9 years with only one 3rd used on the position. And again, it's not their MO to use the draft as the primary means to plug acute holes.

Looking forward to seeing this kid compete this week. He's got shit to work on, but the one thing he does exceptionally well, which is fight to the ball, is something Stafford would use the hell out of.

McShay was talking about him on his first senior bowl podcast. Says the guy looks the part, big dude. Measured in with 10" hands.

New Mr small hands is Nussmeier 8 3/4"

Or Zach Wilson, if he's grown up. Or trade a late round pick for Will Levis. We'll see, though. The two guys I find very intriguing in this Draft are Trinidad Chambliss and Cole Payton. With Payton, it hinges on his Senior Bowl performance. With Chambliss, it hinges on him actually being in the Draft.

Not a fan of Levis but agree across the board with the rest. Payton might just have a place in the league as a Taysom Hill type

Nope, I want no part of any of these 6' mid dudes.
Wait on the QB. I do not care if you have to trade one of our 1sts for a 1st next year.

You draft a QB in mid rounds it doesnt mean he's the QB of the future, can still trade up next year for a QB if so desired. Bennett on the last year of his rookie deal, his spot of 3rd QB should be refilled, can even throw Bennett on the PS if need be
