Re: Rams Stock Market: Who's the Biggest Bargain?

My money is on Wade because...
(a) I expect him to get lots of opportunity to stand out. Klopf probably won't get the chance to show off improvements in his game unless McMichael or Becht goes down. Leonard will largely be seen in a blocking role, which hasn't been flattering to him so far. At the least, Wade will come in for the nickel (say a quarter of defensive snaps or so?) and he gets to step in as a starter if either Hill or Brown goes down (or gets suspended again).

(b) His stock really is low. I expect Carriker and Incognito to have good seasons, but if this was a fantasy game where values were based on who other people were wanting, I'd expect both to be in moderately high demand. After all, Carriker was a first round pick and looked pretty good for a rookie last year. Cogs has the reputation for playing tough, too. For that matter, with many predicting Culberson to start and crediting his development as the justification for letting Chillar walk, I wouldn't quite call him a penny stock...but he would have been my second choice.

Barron will have opportunity and probably isn't rated real high right now, either, but I'm not terribly excited by his prospects.
