Rams Fans United - Los Angeles Rams Fan Discussion Forum

Now that the first-tier FA frenzy is subsiding, I think we have a somewhat clearer picture of the Rams' needs. As a result, a shuffling of the draft board is in order.

With Weddle in the fold, the need for a FS is greatly diminished. Conversely, with the departure of Saffold and Sullivan, OL is a higher priority.

DL and EDGE remain key spots, as does ILB, to an extent.

Here's my current Top 40:

1. Quinnen Williams, DL, Alabama
2. Nick Bosa, DL, Ohio State
3. Devin White, LB, LSU
4. Josh Allen, EDGE, Kentucky
5. Rashan Gary, DE, Michigan
6. Clelin Ferrell, EDGE, Clemson
7. Greedy Williams, CB, LSU
8. Montez Sweat, EDGE, Mississippi State
9. Christian Wilkins, DL, Clemson
10. Jawaan Taylor, OT, Florida

11. Jonah Williams, OL, Alabama
12. Devin Bush, LB, Michigan
13. Brian Burns, EDGE, Florida State
14. Ed Oliver, DL, Houston
15. Dexter Lawrence, DL, Clemson
16. Byron Murphy, CB, Washington
17. Deandre Baker, CB, Georgia
18. Garrett Bradbury, C/OG, NC State
19. T.J. Hockenson, TE, Iowa
20. Greg Little, OL, Ole Miss

21. Jerry Tillery, DL, Notre Dame
22. Jachai Polite, EDGE, Florida
23. Andre Dillard, OT, Washington State
24. Cody Ford, OL, Oklahoma
25. Chase Winovich, EDGE, Michigan
26. Zach Allen, DL, Boston College
27. Anthony Nelson, DL, Iowa
28. Rock Ya-Sin, CB, Temple
29. Andre Dillard, OL, Washington State
30. Nasir Adderley, S, Delaware

31. Taylor Rapp, S, Washington
32. Mack Wilson, LB, Alabama
33. Trayvon Mullen, CB, Clemson
34. Jamel Dean, CB, Auburn
35. Oshane Ximenes, EDGE, Old Dominion
36. D’Andre Walker, EDGE, Georgia
37. Iman Lewis-Marshall, CB, USC
38. David Long, CB, Michigan
39. Johnathan Abram, S, Mississippi State

On my board, I place the "trade line" at #22. If my top 22 guys are gone at #31, I'd be looking for a trade-back opportunity. If any of my top 22 guys is still on the board, I'd want a really lopsided deal before I'd agree to move down.

If I understand AV's new Big Board assumptions correctly, then I think Los Ramos may luck into one of AV's Top 22 candidates.....BECAUSE....

I predicted last month (I think) on AV's original Big Board (of Rams needs candidates) that there would be EIGHT non-needs (QBs, WRs, TEs, RBs, FS's) selected before Los Ramos at #31.

Now with FS off of the "needs-list" and onto Non-needs list, I predict NINE non-needs get picked #1 thru #30......so, if my math is right, there is now a better chance for Snead & Co. to land one of the Top 22 Gems at #31 n'est-ce pas?

Also....should we consider moving ILB to the "non-need" list, now that we have signed former Green Bay castoff, Clay FabioHair Mathews?

Its not a primary need, but if Devin White (no chance) or Devin Bush (outside chance) were to fall to #31, I'd make an exception.

My #39 prospect, Johnathan Abram, just had a visit with the Rams. He could be a nice 3rd round option to provide depth/a future starter behind Weddle.
