Will Jordan Whittington, Tyler Davis, or another Rams second-year player have the biggest jump?

The Los Angeles Rams did more than just okay with their first four picks in 2024, adding Defensive Rookie of the Year Jared Verse, third-place DROY finisher Braden Fiske, and safety Kamren Kinchens, who posted four interceptions last season.

But aside from those three and third round running back Blake Corum, which Rams draft pick from 2024 will show the most improvement in 2025 and have the biggest impact on the field for L.A. next season?

The Rams drafted kicker Joshua Karty in the sixth round,...

The early part of May is an important part of the NFL calendar as that is when teams must decide whether or not to pick up the fifth-year options of their first-round picks. Throughout the Sean McVay era, the Los Angeles Rams haven’t had to do this as they haven’t had first-round picks. With that said, it’s still something to pay attention to as a player who hasn’t had their fifth-year option picked up can mean that the team that drafted them is on the edge of moving on and just needs a little push.

This offseason, the deadline to...

Robert Rochell started his NFL career with the Los Angeles Rams and he’s available again

Robert Rochell was recently released by the Kansas City Chiefs making Rochell a free agent, and he should have some options, but maybe he’d like to rejoin the team that drafted him back in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Los Angeles Rams.

Rochell was taken in the fourth round by the Rams, and though he was hurt during the Rams’ Super Bowl winning season, Rochell was still on the team before being released in August of ‘23.

Rochell has since moved around from the [Seattle...

Would Jalen Ramsey have impact in the Rams secondary that they need?

The Los Angeles Rams made the surprising choice to not select a cornerback in the NFL Draft, despite the position arguably being the team’s biggest need. It’s not just that the Rams didn’t draft a cornerback, but they actively passed on the position and starting level players such as Trey Amos.

With the Rams not taking a cornerback, there has been speculation that the team could make a run at Jalen Ramsey after June 1. During the draft, NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport reported that the Rams were interested...

Would Whitworth be the number one pick in a 2006 re-draft?

Was Andrew Whitworth actually the best prospect and player to come out of his draft class despite going 55th overall in 2006? He’s got a strong argument for that and PFF noted on Tuesday that for their system, Whitworth does have the highest grade of any player in the 2006 draft class.

Should the Houston Texans have drafted Whitworth instead of Mario Williams?

In a class highly publicized for its top three picks, which were Williams, Reggie Bush, and Vince Young, none could hold a candle to the longevity...

Should there be concerns with Rams offensive line depth?

Over the past two seasons, the Los Angeles Rams have been plagued by slow starts. In 2023, injuries to Rob Havenstein, Joe Noteboom, and Alaric Jackson caused disjunction along the offensive line. That lack of cohesiveness resulted in a 3-6 start. Last season, the Rams started 1-4 as Jonah Jackson, Alaric Jackson, and Rob Havenstein all missed time.

Thankfully, the Rams were able to recover from those deficits in each instance. However, the slow starts certainly hurt the Rams come playoff time. Had the Rams avoided a 3-6 start in 2023,...

There could be openings for Mario Williams, Brennan Presley, and Tru Edwards

While there has been plenty of post-draft talk about a Los Angeles Rams scheme change for the tight end unit, not much mention has been made of the wide receivers. General Manager Les Snead did his deep tissue work in this area long before the draft, signing free agent Davante Adams and re-signing Tutu Atwell to bolster the corps.

Was that enough?

The L.A. braintrust seems pretty sure of it. Their only draft additions were a Round 7 rookie and three undrafted free agents, Brennan Presley, Mario Williams,...

Los Angeles Rams News and Links for 5/6/25

Matthew Stafford is the oldest player on the Los Angeles Rams and behind him in age is Jimmy Garoppolo. The Rams have two elder statesmen (so to speak) at their quarterback position.

I like L.A.’s quarterback room, but do you think? Should they have tried to get younger at the position? Or you are happy with Stafford and Jimmy G?

Thanks for checking out Turf Show Times on this Tuesday, please comment on whatever you want and have a great day!

What did the Cardinals, 49ers, Rams, and Seahawks get wrong in free agency and the draft?

Teams that win offseasons in March through May rarely find themselves atop the standings when the calendar flips to December and January.

Free agent signings commonly become expensive anchors against the salary cap. Draft picks are fifty-fifty propositions in the first round and the odds of hitting get worse as the order progresses. Every year we spend the spring chatting about the largest acquisitions, but the player that wins your fantasy team probably came via the waiver wire.

It’s time to take off the...

The Los Angeles Rams have signed punt returner/wide receiver Britain Covey to a one-year deal

Britain Covey is taking his talents to the Los Angeles Rams, and if you are like me then you had not heard of Covey until this signing, I have to thank my friend who is a Philadelphia Eagles fan as he informed me of this news just a bit ago.

Covey was named a Pro Bowl alternate in 2024, so it’s fair to say that Covey had some real highs during his time with the Eagles.

Covey went undrafted in the 2022 NFL Draft after...

When the Rams QB earns another $40 million guaranteed

The $26 million raise that Matthew Stafford received on his newly revised contract with the L.A. Rams carries one very important day in the future for the Super Bowl-winning QB. Stafford already has another $40 million coming to him this year, having already received $4 million, but according to a new detail revealed by Ian Rapoport on Monday, he’s got another $40 million coming to him:

Stafford, 37, is set to continue going year-to-year with Los Angeles. But Rapoport notes that if the quarterback is on the roster at the...

Why the Rams are the team with the most to gain over the next year

If the Los Angeles Rams play their cards right, they could build the most talented, strongest, fastest, and one of the youngest rosters in the NFL thanks to a salary cap advantage that most people haven’t noticed yet. By raw numbers, the Rams are projected to have the fifth-most cap space in the NFL next year, but underneath the money they owe is an even more important number:

**The Rams already have 46 players under contract for 2026 — before they’ve signed their 2025 rookie...
