POST #17 AvengerRam wrote:Let's review:OUT: Rodger Saffold, John Sullivan, Ndamukong Suh, Mark Barron, LaMarcus JoynerIN/RE-SIGNED: Dante Fowler, Eric Weddle, Clay Matthews The backup RB spot remains in flux (match on Brown, re-sign Anderson?) and we've upgraded the backup QB spot (Bortles > Mannion).I think its fair to hope/expect that the Rams will be able to fill one starting spot with their first pick in the draft. With mid-round picks, they should be able to bolster depth and/or find guys who can compete for a rotation/starting spot.My question is... will this be enough to contend again?My answer... Yes, if... the OL holds up.I'm not worried about losing Suh and Barron. I believe that the Rams have enough quality front 7 players (including the ultra-elite Aaron Donald) to equal or improve on last year's squad's performance.I'm definitely not worried about the DB, as I think Weddle is an upgrade over Joyner.The only real issue is the OL. If Noteboom and Allen can equal the performance of Saffold and Sullivan, the Rams will be in great shape on offense (at a lower price point). I also would not be shocked if the Rams look at the OL early in the draft, as there could be some very good options in the late first round.So, yeah... I'm feeling like, through the first wave of FA, the Rams have done enough. There's more work to do, but I'm feeling good about the status of the roster. I agree with you on the offense of line. Let’s not forget about Cooper Kupp. When Cooper was injured it impacted the offense far more deeply than many think. by /zn/ 5 years 3 weeks ago Total posts: 6763 Joined: Jun 28 2015 Maine Hall of Fame Have the Rams done enough?
