I would rather go Mason Graham in the 1st. However I think a good 2nd/3rd round DE option would be: Landon Jackson- Arkansas 6'7" 280lbs 6.5 sacks and one FF this season OR Kyle Kennard- South Carolina 6'5" 254lbs 11.5 sacks this season

When you start getting into depth in Day 2 and Day 3 yeah. Not a ton of high end talent at the top.

You pick up the option either way. If he's wanting Top 5 money he can go pound sand long term though.

We haven't had a big bruising back in a while. Would love to see that. I like Mullings.

He's ranked as the top Edge in a weak Edge draft. He's not going to be dynamic like Bosa, Watt, Garrett, Parsons, etc. Honestly, he reminds me of Burns. I would even argue that Mykel Williams will be better in the long term. I wouldn't spend a Top 10 pick on Carter.

Need to see what the roster looks like. 6-8 wins keeps them on the right track.

I think I read/watched something years ago that said the rounds 2/3 were the hardest to pick in because it was a gray area before the 4th round talent drop off.

Okay so if Bryce=Teddy Bridgewater. Do we pick up his 5th year option and extend that for QB1 money? Or do we take a few day 2 and day 3 picks and cut our losses?

4th or later

This is the last year I think. Rams wanted him to come back last year but the Panthers blocked it. According to this article this was the last season. https://theramswire.usatoday.com/2024/01/29/rams-panthers-ejiro-evero-contract-defensive-coordinator/

We also threw Teddy in the trash after one season. Yet we are hoping this guy may one day reach his level. Good comparison though. On a good day, Young looks like 2020 Teddy Bridgewater.

You had part of the first sentence right.

I do remember that but it wasn't a 50/50 split or 60/40 split. It was like 80/20 or 90/10.

Yeah. He runs a lot of 4-3 over which utilizes the 3-tech more. Rivera/McDermott used to run a lot of 4-3 under which gave you a lot of flexibility with your Will LB (Thomas Davis). In SF, Saleh would run a lot of 4-2-5 with a "Big Nickel". We used to use Shaq in that role here when we had a similar defense.

Maybe thats why Rhule ran the 3-3. He gives off the impression he is building a 3-4 and then walked Burns to the line for a 4-3 each time.

I like you and all. But crack is bad. Brown played 4-3 in college and will do just fine in a 3T next to Mason Graham.

My observation too.

But you won't that's the point of QB purgatory, dude. There will always be another reason why it didn't work out or you didn't see enough and then it's another year and another year until the band-aid gets ripped off. I know you and the Bryce crowd want him to work because it will put the franchise back on track but hoping doesn't make him better. I said it earlier, Franchise QBs don't have the fanbase split on whether they are the guy or not. You don't have this kind of debate when the guy is the guy.

The Rams are the only reason I have any optimism left. If their owner can figure it out, then about 27/32 can.

Kind of guy that falls ass backwards into a job he can't perform in while everyone else looks on in awe. Kills the moral fast. My guess is he interviewed well and and the right things at the right times. When the fanbase is right more than the GM (almost every time) it's painfully obvious.

Matt Rhule looks like one of the guys from a viagra commercial.

Me too, it doesn't work well in church though.

The Lions are us 9-12 years ago if you believe in the NFL Script Conspiracy. The Chiefs are the Patriots. We are now the Deshone Kizer era Cleveland Browns.

I don't think Wilks could be drug back here. He will be in college somewhere is my guess. I'm a bit of a nerd when it comes to coach vacancies/hirings. I don't see it happening. I think it will be somebody with a clear connection to Brandt, Morgan, Canales, or Goodwin. Bob Saleh, Joe Cullen, Aaron Curry, Ken Norton Jr, somebody in that realm. If we are lucky, James Bettcher. IMO we are more likely to land Ron than Wilks which I think would do more harm than good.
