Turf Show Times
Los Angeles Rams News and Links for 4/18/24
Hello Ramily! Today, or this evening (it’s all a bit confusing as I am techincally writing this on Wednesday) the show “Matthew Stafford: Locked In” will be televised. According to the tweet below it should be on the internet and NFL Network. I am not sure if I will watch it right away (I might) but I do absolutely plan to check that out at some point. How can a Rams’ fan not? Do you think you will be watching the Stafford show? Or do you say let’s just get to the draft already?
Please comment on whatever you’d like and thanks for checking out Turfshowtimes!
“In a documentary feature produced by the Los Angeles Rams titled “Matthew Stafford: Locked In,” the former Lions franchise quarterback for 12 seasons said he wasn’t expecting a warm welcome coming back to Detroit because he knew the fanbase’s passion and desire to win in the playoffs. The documentary will air on Rams’ channels and NFL Network on Thursday at 8 p.m.
“People are like, ‘Oh they are going to give you an ovation or a video on the board,’” Stafford said in the documentary. “I’m like, ‘Guys I know what I’m about to get from these people. They love their football, they love their Lions.’”
The 43-minute documentary focuses on Stafford’s life as an NFL quarterback while balancing being a father of four and a husband. It goes through Rams’ strong finish to the season, where they finished 7-1 over the last two months to secure a Wild Card spot and a chance to square off with the Lions and Jared Goff, the other quarterback involved in the trade in 2021.”
“But the Rams are the Rams, and GM Les Snead is Les Snead, so there’s probably at least one wild draft moment coming at some point next weekend. And while we all sit here patiently waiting for that to happen, let’s boldly predict what that draft moment may be. These are our three best guesses.
1. Trade back in the first round
Admittedly, this isn’t that bold. But the team is entering the 2024 NFL Draft with 11 draft picks. Will they want to trade back to add more to their ammo? Here’s a look at all the picks the Rams currently have as per the NFL website:
Round 1: No. 19 overall
Round 2: No. 52 overall
Round 3: No. 83 overall

Round 5: No. 154 overall
Round 5: No. 155 overall (from Pittsburgh Steelers)
Round 6: No. 196 overall
Round 6: No. 209 overall (compensatory)
