nsive line help Nicholas Scott Los Angeles Rams Jerseys , the Los Angeles Rams could pull off surprise pickKirby Lee-USA TODAY SportsIn the first-round of the 2019 NFL Draft, the Oakland Raiders defied expectations and reached for the player that they wanted: Clemson Tigers EDGE Clelin Ferrell. Was it the smart pick? Probably not. They likely could have traded back to get the same player ten picks later. However, the heart wants what it wants.The Los Angeles Rams did in fact trade with the Atlanta Falcons to get out of the first-round in order to acquire a second-round (45th) and another third-round selection (79th). This signals that the organization doesn’t have one player that they’re in love with. If the Rams truly wanted, let’s say, Texas A&M Aggies C Erik McCoy, they could have gotten him with the 31st pick. Or, some would argue, they are confident that he’ll still be around at 45 Los Angeles Rams Jerseys Stitched , or maybe even Florida Gators OT Jawaan Taylor could be available. I’m not so sure about this plan. Seems to me that GM Les Snead operates on his own weird, beach-bum rhythm and that means that just like the 2017 NFL Draft, the Rams could be selecting a player like TE Gerald Everett that may seem out of left field.No, I’m not saying the Rams are going to select a tight end, but they may have their eyes on a prospect that could be considered a... curious pick. That’s what is fun and frustrating about the draft. Fans can spend hours combing the draft boards in an effort to find the best fit for the Rams and 90% of the time, the team goes in a different direction. And the Rams have the lucky trend on their side — a run on pass catchers.So, yeah... I really want the Rams to pick Erik McCoy because it makes sense for the team. Chances are, he won’t be available. And even if he is Nicholas Scott Jersey nfl draft , the Rams will make a pick that will force fans to Google a name that they have never heard before. The Rams have had good luck in the third-round as of late, grabbing talent like S John Johnson III and WR Cooper Kupp. So, in Snead we trust. Sure, let’s go with that. What’s Going Well!First, the positives: the Los Angeles Rams are doing well in points per game allowed (6th at 19.8/game), and are still 1st in point differential (+75). They are also generating plenty of pressures, especially from inside.Per @PFF, before playing the Seahawks in Week 5 Big And Tall Nicholas Scott Jersey , the combo of Donald and Suh is generating a mind-boggling number of pressures:And, after Week 5, the Rams still lead the league in pressure percentage:What’s, Um, Not Great...So, let’s not get it twisted that the Rams have not been successful where it counts; they have (so far). However, getting to the QB and converting those pressures to sacks/losses/long downs, especially from the EDGE positions From China Nicholas Scott Jersey , is still a concern and should be addressed (either internally or externally).As we sit today, coming up on Week 6 of the NFL season, the Rams sit tied with the Patriots for last in sacks (6) and are dead last in QB hits (15). If they are to get deeper into the playoffs, it is reasonable to expect them to continue pushing for pass-rushing help, especially at the EDGE position. Current Roster SituationThe combo of Samson Ebukam/Matt Longacre is still developing, but not as impactful at this point in the season (1 sack total between them, with Ebukam/Longacre playing 80%/50% of snaps, respectively). The Rams lost hybrid DE/OLB Dominique Easley to a season-ending knee injury Ndamukong Suh Jersey , and are still waiting for promising rookie Ogbonnia Okoronkwo to return from his foot injury. That leaves the cupboard a bit bare at one of the most important areas of need. This of course is not a surprise to anyone paying attention, but as we get deeper in the season I believe it’s going to show up on the scoreboard as the Rams play against quick-release QB’s like Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes. Summary: the Rams are HOPING to hide this issue as long as they can.The Big Question: What To Do?Should the Rams stand pat and hope Ebukam/Longacre/Okoronkwo/etc. get hot, or should they press the Big Red Button and make a trade/FA signing?Here were the results of our round table:Elijah Kim (@Football_EZK)Sosa Kremenjas (@QBsMVP)brennansmith (@BrennanJSmith)Sean Wilkinson (@Papa_Lurch)go ramsBrandon Bate (@NoPlanB_)Eric Nagel (@Eric_nagel)Skye Sverdlin (@Skyeattolah)joeyaucoin (@LaRamsRamsRams)EddieP (@iAmEddieP_)Hotdaddywags (@hotdaddywags)3k (@3k_)TevinB (@T_Bron)Your ThoughtsWhat do you think?
