(Photo by Keith Birmingham/MediaNews Group/Pasadena Star-News via Getty Images Where do Sean McVay and Les Snead rank among head coach and general manager combos around the NFL? Continuity and longevity are luxuries in the National Football League, which commonly is referred to as “not for long”. Even one misstep can be the undoing for a front office or coaching staff, and often times we see individuals dismissed before their vision has a chance to fully unfold. It’s important this time of year to analyze the top general manager and head coach combos around the NFL as we assess free agent sign ..read more

Allen J. Schaben / Los Angeles Times via Getty Images Los Angeles Rams News and Links for 4/16/24 I wonder if yesterday’s Random Ramsdom should have been titled “Which draft selections did LA give up on too early?” instead of “which draft picks...” but all good.

Speaking of a new day let’s talk about offseason workouts getting going for a majority of teams this week. For the Los Angeles Rams their week started just yesterday (Monday). Does of ..read more

The Rams have commonly been linked to both edge defenders and pass rushing defensive tackles for their first pick in the NFL Draft at #19 overall, though this statistic suggests a schematic fit for one player in particular. According to Steve Palazolo of Pro Football Focus (PFF). the Rams asked edge defenders to drop ..read more

The Rams are expected to look for Aaron Donald’s replacement in the draft When Aaron Donald retired from the NFL, it completely changed the outlook of the draft and the next season of the L.A. Rams. As expected, the new most-expected position to be taken with the first pick is defensive line/edge, according to DraftKings Sportsbook. The Rams picking a defensive lineman with their first pick has odds of -200, a good lead over second place Cornerback at +450 and Offensive Lineman at +500. The next-highest odds are Safety, Quarterback, Linebacker, Wide Receiver, Tight End, and finally Running B ..read more

Tim Heitman-USA TODAY Sports Who the Cardinals, Seahawks, and 49ers usually pick in mock drafts The player who gets mocked to the Los Angeles at pick 19 the most often is UCLA edge rusher Laiatu Latu. According to Mock Draft Database, Latu gets mocked to the Rams in 25-percent of drafts, right after the Bengals pick J.C. Latham and before the Steelers pick Amarius Mims. Who are the “consensus” mock draft picks for the other three NFC West teams? Arizona Cardinals - WR Marvin Harrison, Jr. I don’t always put the ‘Jr’ respect on somebody’s name unless everyone does it like “Ken Griffey, Jr”, but ..read more

Photo by Kevin Sabitus/Getty Images Bleacher Report was not impressed by the Rams bringing back Williams for the 2024 campaign The Los Angeles Rams have had a reasonably strong offseason with the 2024 NFL Draft on the horizon. LA needed to make additional quality moves following the team’s return to the postseason after a one-year hiatus. However, not everyone has loved what the Rams did in free agency. Ryan Fowler of Bleacher Report named LA’s reunion with cornerback Darious Williams as one of the 14 worst free agent signings this offseason. This is all that Fowler had to say about the transa ..read more

Photo by Keith Birmingham/MediaNews Group/Pasadena Star-News via Getty Images Los Angeles Rams News and Links for 4/15/24 Hello and happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. Today’s Random Ramsdom actually features a draft related question as the NFL Draft approaches. Which draft picks did the Los Angeles Rams give up on too soon? This topic is huge. Draft picks then become players so anyone who has played for St. Louis or LA is on the table. If my memory servces there was once a Cleveland Rams team as well. Feel free to fact check that. This topic probably deserves it’s own article (and I wo ..read more

Darren Yamashita-USA TODAY Sports Former Rams coach Mike Martz sees J.C. Latham as a better tackle prospect than Joe Alt As offensive coordinator and then head coach of the St. Louis Rams, Mike Martz worked with one of the all-time best tackles in NFL history, Orlando Pace. No NFL draft analyst believes there is an offensive line prospect near the acclaim of Pace—which we could see almost any year—but Notre Dame’s Joe Alt is the consensus number one at the tackle position. Well, almost consensus. In a recent video for his job at The 33rd Team, Martz compared three of the top draft tackles in J ..read more

Jay Janner / American-Statesman / USA TODAY NETWORK Should Rams jump on chance to draft Byron Murphy if he falls out of top-15? What the Los Angeles Rams do with their first round pick is never a small deal under Les Snead. In 2016, he traded all the way up to number one and in 2019 he traded all the way back to the end of the second round. So if the Rams are holding onto their first round pick going into the draft it usually means that they’re going way up or way down but in this two-round mock draft collaboration between popular YouTubers Broshmo and ThatFranchiseGuy, L.A. only goes up two s ..read more
