The 2024-2025 Los Angeles Rams Draft and FA Thread.

[Retroram52]

The Lakers have not scored in nearly 5 minutes. Typical tanking early shit again.

That's better as Western Knecht hits a short lay-up.

Then the dumbasses turnaround and let the Nets hit a three. The lead is now 8 with almost 6 minutes left.

Lakers call another Timeout.

We lose Hoecht to Buffalo's obsession with our pass-rushers. I hope the ShitferBrains Twins are going to replace him with a draftee or Kier Thomas from our PS.

If you were like me, you were hoping that the Los Angeles Rams would find enough financial resources to re-sign veteran outside linebacker Michael Hoecht. But p

I am glad Hoecht is gone.

He was out of position and missed way too many tackles most of the time.

Well, it looks like Shula had a lot of inpt on who was going to be re-signed on the Defense. He basically has and will continue to remove bullshit players. So we will not see back any of Rozebum, Reeder, or maybe even John Johnson. Non-productive players are being shown the door.

Thanks dude!

Is this Poona Ford guy any good? I'm guessing he is the replacement for Brown. Sorry to see Brown go.

Not a replacement an upgrade.

 

[Battlelyon]

Not a star obviously but a solid DT.

He'll be perfect for our defensive line

[Retroram52]

Now we have a Puka and a Poona. Been watching tape of the latter and he has the same type of explosive leverage that Aaron Donald brought to the table. He gets under the O-lineman initially and can penetrate effectively because his first step is lightning quick. He is an under-the-radar type player and a typical guy that the ShitferBrains Twins like. We shall see how this develops over time.

I agree.

Rated higher across the board. FA Dt's Ford - 5, Brown - 9, overall Ford - 32, Brown - 78. Brown is young and will continue to get better, but for the next 2 years or so, Ford is the better player, especially against the run.

Just signed with Seachickens for $110M.

That is going to backfire spectacularly. Who is he going to throw the ball to?

No Jan or Addison to pad the stats. Just JSN right now

And everyone saw how befuddled he looked when he had a good group of receivers. I feel like it's going to be proven that his receivers made him look way better than he actually is and is going to revert back to his previous form of being lackluster.

 

[LongtimeRamsFan42]

I was thinking how great a move it was to lock up Alaric Jackson before free agency started. Left tackles are getting PAID!!! The way things look, he likely would've been offered 25mil a year by a team like the Pats who have tons of money to spend.

 

[Retroram52]

Now that Hoecht is gone, one of the following will move on up: Keir Thomas, Nick Hampton, or Brennan Jackson.

Here is an analysis of the changes to the roster and the associated consequences. Not too bad.

The Colton Shelton reunion has not officially been completed. That is coming, maybe. Looks like we may get another 6th Rounder or 7th Rounder for Hoecht. If Kupp is cut, I am not sure we will receive a comp pick for him and where it will land.
