Growl

It’s slim pickings. Banks is extremely intriguing and is interesting as a five in our front, and is probably the only real option of the true DTs. I like Woods inside but he’s probably doesn’t have the length to play outside. McDonald just isn’t really the type of player you see go high. Average measurables, not much production against the pass. Faulk may actually garner some interest from us. He can play the 5, 4i, 3 in even fronts and is billed as a supposed edge player but I think he’s probably better suited for the above. They’ll like the idea of moving him around-but it’s not going to feel like the plug and play box tick that someone like Sadiq is going to give you. Edit: it could be noted that Faulk’s resume isn’t entirely dissimilar to what Nic Scourton’s was.

Nm apparently Moton is under contract next season as well

Rams ran more 13 personnel than any team in the league last season. Seahawks were 4th. He gives this offense the ability to do things it cannot currently do, and you really can’t buy great tight end production on the open market. people trying to diminish the value of it are wrong.

Wonder if we see an extension for Moton. We have no OT’s under contract beyond next season. Still playing at a high level. Could distribute dollars across an additional season, maybe two.

OT and CB are both premium positions that should still merit a high look. thienaman would be fun but I said that mostly in jest. The lack of investment in the defensive backfield-CB or S, makes me think it’s on their mind come draft time though

so it’s just not a serious take then

what

I don’t see what you’re seeing with “bad weight.” He’s got the box frame you want in a OT, carries it well. Sheds a bit more weight and he should get a bit quicker on the outside. You’re seeing more tackles in his build tier.

I think it’s possible and it would be fun but I’m generally pursuing more positional value there.

Dillon Thieneman at 19?!

That’s not what I said

OTs are getting bigger and this team especially likes bigger ones. would not be surprised if they really like Proctor more than the average fan does. He’s got atypical movement skills for a guy his size-a valuable attribute they are pretty familiar with after watching the Rams twice up close this past season.

Sikkema is speculating they’re waiting on the Trent Williams domino to fall and that they’ll move in to pick up the corresponding guy elsewhere. I really don’t think they want to go into the draft with it being so obviously telegraphed where they are desperate, especially not with these options at OT in this class.

one wonders how much money Dave is really saving with turf fields when he has to spend nearly $200 million dollars on the first day of free agency to, in part, free himself up to target a position he already had locked down on the roster until his turf monster destroyed the guy’s knee

surely Tepper is going to follow suit on the other F- field conditions teams and improve the playing surface with real grass right? he’s not going to spend all this money on free agents and risk a non contact injury on his green Taylor swift plastic surely?

SUBSTANTIALLY shorter than Will Campbell. Didn’t know how much until now. I’ll be surprised if he ends up with a real shot at OT anywhere tbh.

there’s an interesting line of thinking that we could take Fano at 19 and work him at LT until Ekwonu returns. If he pans out, wonderful, if not, kick him into center unless Samac has been a revelation there. i think it’s more fantasy than reality though. It’s a lot to ask of a rookie, especially one whose arms are shorter than Will Campbell’s are. it also means you’re using a 1st round pick on a probable Center. I don’t see them going this route but it’s a nice fairy tale that would really work for us.

The team believes have the QB. We’re not preparing the roster for the future, they’re building strengths to go win the division this season.

No ability to create explosives with the ball in their hand tremble is a nice move piece. Evans blocks really well. Add a playmaker and that’s a varied room of talent with package versatility.

combined production of the tight end group would’ve been near the top of the league if assimilated into one do it all player there’s nothing to suggest Canales doesn’t like tight ends.

Rams ran more 13 than any team in the league last season. Seahawks were 4th last I checked. Be at the vanguard of how the league is transitioning and don’t get sucked into forcing a pick for a LB that can’t turn or an edge with historically stubby arms.

Caleb Banks having 35” inch arms probably solidifies him as a 1st rounder. 6’6” 327. We should definitely be interested.

They released Bradley Chubb too which we should definitely be looking at.

you could even divide it up by division and conference with a similar seeding to the actual playoffs, culminating in it’s own Super Bowl.

The pro bowl should be brought back, it should be in Honolulu with proper marketing and eyes on it, it should be the nfl subsidizing a week long vacation for guys with their families-with that the one big change to make is to get rid of the fan voting. Have each send a collection of five or six guys they deemed their best and if the rosters get a little wonky personnel-wise, that’s okay. That’s part of the fun. short of that, the only other thing I could recommend is having a similar set-up-no fan voting, teams selecting their best players, and sending them to compete against the chosen players from 31 other teams in real Olympic level sporting completions to see who comes out on top. seeing the panthers delegates beat the disgusting saints delegates up for the Gold in the rowing competition or the 4x100 relay would actually feed into the competitive nature of fans and give them something to root for. you could even have under armour sell the logo cladded up team gear that the pros wear in these games for money, this stuff basically writes itself if the nfl wasn’t trying to use this event help sell the idea that no defense and lots of passing is a GOOD THING and you LOVE THIS and THE GAMES SHOULD BE MORE LIKE THIS.
