Anything outside of that has some luck involved. I agree the Rams have a starting position open at edge. But, you might not be considering who they have on the roster to compete for that spot. Additionally, both edge spots will surely be situationally rotational without AD. I don’t think they are trading up for an edge player. I do think they could trade back up into the lower first to get one - after they go offense with their first pick. The other scenario is the offensive players they want are gone before they can trade up or they aren’t willing to go high enough to get one of the guys they truly covet. Then, a trade down to get more 2nd and 3rd rounders makes sense and they can move to get edge and DL that way. As always, just my gut opinion. Gonna be fun here on draft weekend for sure.And to be sure, I am not discounting your point that they need an edge badly. I just don’t think they trade up to get one. I think throw bodies at the position and see who rises to the top. And I could be completely wrong in that they may love one of the top guys and think he is worth trading up for. I just don’t see it that way. by ramsman34 4 weeks 1 day ago Total posts: 8637 Joined: Apr 16 2015 Back in LA baby! Moderator Definitely not too early to talk draft!!!

A big 366 pound DT who requires double teams at all times could be one of those space eating run stoppers in the mold of Vita Vea.

POST #309 That's the thing with a prove it deal, if you prove it, you're gonna cost a lot more than you would've the year before. Then again, Dotson proved it and i figured he'd be gone but he's still here.Then again (part 2), Rams seem to be willing to pay big money vetrans on offense while generally going with vet minimums and rookie deals for the defense.But then again (part 3), just when you think you see a pattern to what the Rams are doing, they do something else...

At pick 19th, we should be able to get a very good edge rusher, Even if we had to trade up for that player. Then the rest of our picks should be best available player, to fill backup roles or rotational roles.After viewing tape on the ER, here are my choice in order:1. Jared Verse: I would trade up for him. 2. Dallas Turner or Chop RobinsonIf all three are gone,Then draft DT:Byron Murphy III'd prefer one of the top edge guys or Murphy at DT. But I have no idea what approach they will use. They may still have their main focus on offense for all we know. For me one of Latu/Verse/Turner in the first round. I like T'Vondre Sweat in the second round. He was expected to go higher than 52 but that DWI might drop him further down. A big 366 pound DT who requires double teams at all times could be one of those space eating run stoppers in the mold of Vita Vea. And could collapse the pocket allowing Kobie to get to the quarterback. For me the perfect draft in rounds one and two would be Dallas Turner and T'vondre Sweat.

POST #306 I think the Rams are very specialized in how they draft. The look for traits by position. And THEIR measurables by position They look at football acumen/IQ and love of the game. They look at game speed/measurables over drill times. Injury history of course. How they rank these things is the mystery. But, I think that is how they got Puka, Turner, etc. by actionjack 4 weeks 1 day ago Total posts: 4039 Joined: May 19 2016 Sactown Superstar Definitely not too early to talk draft!!!
