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

[Retroram52]

This is the top three TEs this year. After these guys there isn't much worth selecting. The Rams could sit still at 26 and Warren will probably still be there. If Warren goes early, then Loveland would be the logical choice.

The Los Angeles Rams did not receive terrific production from the tight end position throughout the 2024 season. Colby Parkinson led the position group in receiving yards with just 294, ranking fifth on the offense in that category. Tyler Higbee missed the…

so im guessing the linebacker class isn't that great this year? all i see on this thread are offensive guys from the draft.

Huh? See posts 92 and 93 above.

Rams need to hurry up and get this Stafford contract worked out & extended. I'm getting nervous each passing day.

This time of year, the Rams have a tendency to shoot themselves in the foot by biting on scenarios that in the long-run hamstring them by painting themselves into a financial corner of their own doing. This scenario is another one of those bullshit activities that the Rams get roped into and they should ignore this click bait and stick to the Draft to find those elite athletes they need.

I would love to tell fans of the LA Rams that the team has placed their 'all-in,' and 'forget them picks,' days behind them. But who am I trying to kid? The Ram

Kupp gone? reminds me of when London Fletcher was traded. He was so important for the defense that the Rams defense didn't recover for years. This will be the same for the offense. Worst move since McVay took over the team.

The big difference in this I think (and anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) is that I don't remember Fletcher being injury prone like Kupp has been. But yes, they definitely made the wrong choice in letting Fletcher go and keeping Little.
I hope that if they aren't getting anything at least in rounds 2 or 3, they don't even bother trading him.

 

[Retroram52]

Well if history has any contribution to this mess, the ShitferBrains Twins will trade Kupp for a 5th or a 7th Rounder in 2027 or 2028 like they did with Brockers, Jones, Gurley, and Ramsey. Once McShitferBrains gets something in his head, man it is damn near impossible to change it.

What really pisses me off about McShitferBrains is he routinely does this with players that have given alot to the Rams over the years, are considered great players for their careers (Kupp is one with his Snooperbowl MVP award and the many catches), and he has grest praise for them in public. Then he hangs on for dear life to players who are completely useless at the NFL level like Kendricks, Reeder, GRob, Evans. Arcuri, etc.

Dude has got some serious craziness sometimes.

 

[Retroram52]

This Kupp mess is once again exposing just how stupid the ShitferBrains twins really are in their thinking. Trying to get rid of Kupp and then replace him with recievers that are almost expensive as Kupp, yet not as good Kupp is right now. Just ridiculous.

This is a pretty good mock as it covers all of the needs (except for QB) of the Rams including getting one of those Iowa State Receivers, a really good ILB and a very good OT.

Agreed, parting from London was the dumbest move ever, since we didn't replace that LB with a quality player. The next Kupp is already on the roster, with Puka and we have Jordan W, that was drafted last year. Kupp hasn't been healthy since the SB, so expecting him to continue to put up 1k/90 catch seasons may be a thing of the past. So at 30 million, he can either take a pay cut to stay which I doubt he will do since he's earned that money or trade. The offense will be okay without Kupp but we MUST HAVE better TE play in the 2025 season.

 

[Retroram52]

Here is the comprehensive list (except for the Raidas) where the likelihood is good that he will end-up on one of these teams. The last team on the list is just nuts. Why would the ShitferBrains Twins send Kupp to the Niners just to face him twice a year until he retires. I guess it would be for the same reason they sent E. Jones to the Seahawks as well.

Kupp's production has declined over the last 2 seasons and he hasn't played a full season in 3 years. Injuries too.

 

[Rambunctious]

I bet 70% of Rams fans would take keeping Kupp over a Super Bowl appearance next season. This is a mistake. Kupp has been the guy for the Rams and should be awarded by letting him retire as a Ram. I bet the Rams are catching hell over this.

How many times have we heard or seen this occur during McVay's tenure? They just can't help themselves.

I would say that's more Les Snead and Kevin Demoff than McVay.

Probably so, Unreal.

There is a prominent rumor gaining traction that the Rams are talking to the NY Geeants about a trade that would involve both Stafford AND Kupp in exchange for multiple draft picks. The deal would be Stafford and Kupp for what I call the Lawrence Welk stash of draft picks.

Way back when Don Klostermann was the Rams GM, he orchestrated a deal with the Packers to send John Hadl to the Packers for a One, a Two, and a One, Two, Three Round draft picks. Affectionately known as the Lawrence Welk Deal named after the famous Saturday music afficionado/conductor of big band music, the Rams got two Number One Draft Picks, Two Number Two Draft Picks, a Third round Draft Pick that was over two successive NFL Drafts.

Several sports writers and podcasts orators are now stating that Snead and McVay are attempting to pull something similar with the New York Giants. The deal would send Matthew Stafford and Cooper Kupp to the Giants for at least Two Number One picks, One of which would be the Third overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, One future First Rounder, a Second Rounder in the 2025 NFL Draft, and possibly a Third and Fifth Rounder in the future. It would be a modern day version of the old Lawrence Welk Deal of the past.

Whether this occurs or not remains to be seen, but many expect and announcement by the beginning of next week. WE SHALL SEE ON THIS ONE!!!!
