Normally when this time of year rolls around for Los Ange

les Rams fans Ndamukong Suh Jersey , we’re knee deep into offseason predictions and draft talk. While we’re all stoked for Super Bowl Sunday this weekend, the NFL calendar doesn’t stop simply because our team is playing in the big ‘un.The ‘legal tampering’ period starts in about six weeks and you better believe that the Rams scouting department is busy evaluating all of the free agents. Since we’re not scouts, we usually rely on lists like this from Pro Football Focus.PFF’s list is friendly to the Rams in more than one way. While there are four current Rams on the list (Lamarcus Joyner, Ndamukong Suh, and Rodger Saffold, and Dante Fowler Jr.), I don’t get the feeling that many fans are sweating that situation. I don’t think a lot of folks expect the Rams to pay a premium for Joyner, Suh was always looked at as a rental, and Saffold has hinted that a hometown discount is on the table. Fowler has made a case to stick around, but his market will be unpredictable so he’s the only real wild card here.On the other side of the coin, there is a lot of help to be found for the Rams if they choose to investigate the free agency market next month. It’s no secret that EDGE was the Rams biggest weakness this season Dante Fowler Jersey , and six of the top ten players listed at PFF are edge rushers - with five more rounding out the list.Worried about linebackers or expecting to have to replace Mark Barron? No worries there either, as there is a lot of intriguing talent at that position as well. Jordan Hicks, CJ Mosely, Anthony Barr, and KJ Wright could be looked at in depth by Wade Phillips and the Rams.Given, many of these players will end up sticking with their current teams, but with players clearly wanting to come and play for Sean McVay in Los Angeles..... there are a lot of intriguing possibilites out there.

Anderson Jersey , 2017.Steve Roberts-USA TODAY SportsMonday’s mock from Mocking the Draft’s Dan Kadar had the Los Angeles Rams, much like their efforts in the 2018 NFL Draft, spending their early draft capital beefing up the offensive line.So with many Rams fans bristling at the lack of potential defensive inputs from the 2019 NFL Draft, NFL.com’s Chad Reuter published has new three-round mock that will satisfy the most defensively-addicted members of the Ramily.There is a bit of surprise early on in the mock. Reuter has the Tampa Bay Buccaneers using the #5 overall pick to take Alabama Crimson Tide RB Josh Jacobs. Years of data have shown it’s just entirely unwise to take a running back early, but teams continue to do so. Certainly, this would be a horrendous move on the Bucs’ part, though that’s not a responsibility of the mocker to respond to. If anything, it’s a question of why the Bucs would make such a pick...which many teams are wont to do.Reuter addresses the first-round elephant in the room at #6 with the New York Giants taking Ohio State Buckeyes QB Dwayne Haskins with Oklahoma Sooners QB Kyler Murray going a pick later to the Jacksonville Jaguars.My dream drop candidate for the Rams, LSU Tigers ILB Devin White, heads out at #16 to the Carolina Panthers. Sigh.EDGE Watchers might like this mock. Kentucky Wildcats EDGE Josh Allen and Michigan Wolverines EDGE Rashan Gary go off far too early (both top 4 picks), but many of the other popular prospects to tempt the Rams fall far enough to come into view. Clemson Tigers DE Clelin Ferrell goes at #8 to the Detroit Lions. Florida Gators EDGE Jachai Polite heads at #12 to the Green Bay Packers. Mississippi St. Bulldogs EDGE Montez Sweat is up seven picks later to the Tennessee Titans. And that’s it before the Rams Eric Weddle Jersey , so you’ve got spacing and delay, the two keys to a position spread to help your team.And that leads us to the Rams at 31:Certainly, it’s hard to get upset at edge rushing help from this draft. The Rams were so desperate to upgrade it mid-season they sent two draft picks to the Jags to get Fowler. So to bring in a first-round pick of their own to groom at low cost over the next four (and possibly five) years is obviously attractive.The opportunity costs are immediate.The New England Patriots take Mississippi St. Bulldogs DT Jeffery Simmons a pick after the Rams followed by the Arizona Cardinals leading off Round 2 taking Michigan LB Devin Bush and the cash-flush Indianapolis Colts adding Delaware S Nasir Adderley at 34. I could buy the Rams taking any of those three at 31.Plenty of intrigue thereafter throughout round 2, but perhaps the most interesting is the pick Reuter alludes to in his mock headline with the Pats taking N.C. State Wolfpack QB Ryan Finley at #56.Reuter’s round 3 goes HEAVY on the secondary class. Ten of the 38 picks come at the back with the run beginning at #75 with the Pack taking Maryland Terrapins S Darnell Savage, Jr. If the Rams are going to address the secondary in round 3, a run like this would certainly work to our disadvantage.Reuter plays that specific scenario out.With our first third-round pick, Reuter goes with:The Rams’ cornerback depth chart is in the same position the Rams’ offensive line depth chart was a year ago, so beefing it up now makes plenty of sense. Johnson has plus size and athletic skills without being the quickest corner, so he’d certainly fill in as a prospect to take over an outside corner spot for Talib or Peters in 2020.The Rams are back on the clock just five picks later, and Reuter has them coming back to the secondary:Gant’s one of those prospects that’s tough to gauge because it took him so long to put it all together which isn’t surprising given that he walked on in 2015. He was lightly recruited out of high school from the Washington, D.C. Austin Blythe Jersey , area and took a couple seasons to grow into his role with the Herd. The easy comparison? Johnson himself who was similarly underrecruited out of DC and spent a couple of seasons honing his craft with Maryland before breaking out in his junior year. There’s a clear argument (and goodness, does Johnson ever help reinforce it) that sometimes the best NFL players at, say, 23-years old aren’t always the most impressive players in high school at 18-years old.So maybe Gant is the next in line to carry that torch for guys that just need time to come into their own. There’s a certain defender on the Rams you could argue was in a similar position who has turned into the best player in the entire NFL...And while it’s easy to wrap things up there, look at Reuter’s final three picks of his third round: Old Dominion Monarchs EDGE Oshane Ximines, West Virginia Mountaineers OT Yodny Cajuste and Oregon Ducks EDGE Jalen Jelks. All three have been mocked to the Rams...in the first round.What say you of a Ferguson-Johnson-Gant haul, Rams fans? Comfortable with an all-defense trio through three rounds without any support on the offensive line? Too needs-based? Just right?
