The Los Angeles Rams 2024 NFL Draft

[DJ]

And not sure who said WR in the main NFL draft thread but why WR? When you have Kupp and Nacua.

Maybe it was @shopson67....

Because those are the only two receivers under contract in 2025

Seriously?

Saw Robinson and Atwell on a depth chart. Along with some other guys I didn't recognize.

Here is who is under contract at WR with exception of one:

Cooper Kupp ($29.78M cap hit)
Tutu Atwell ($1.88M cap hit)
Ben Skowronek ($1.08M cap hit)
Puka Nacua ($976,244 cap hit)
Xavier Smith ($795,000 cap hit)
Demarcus Robinson (UFA) recently signed
Tyler Johnson (RFA) recently signed
Austin Trammell (ERFA) recently not signed

Robinson and Atwell seem like they can be co-#3's.

I never stated I wanted big players and old school for ALL players. I always prefer the bigger, nastier players in positions where bigness and nastiness ARE required in that particular context. How many times have we witnessed too small or smallish Rams players getting manhandled along the O-line say in the redzone and our D-line, LBs, and Secondary? Anybody? On offense, nearly every week when we have to settle for FGs instead of scoring the TD.

Where do you want these guys to play? A LT prospect sure, but guards and centers will be depth at best on this team right now. Day 3 for that.

Once again you missed the context which you do often when responding to me. I said earlier that these picks coming were DEVELOPMENTAL or BACKUP. How many developmental players or back-ups have we held onto for four-five years only to cut them eventually. How long have we held onto A.J Arcuri?

Ideally, you want quality back-ups who can eventually step in and play when starters get injured, are sent out-the-door, or retire. Puni and Zinter were two immediate examples but the Rams aren't interested in getting back-up O-line talent this year (obviously and maybe in Day 3 selections, but then you are getting A.J. Arcuri types). Oh I forgot, we have A.J Arcuri and Logan Bruss!! lol.
