What do you guys think?

Well thought out, but I dont like it.

Get Darren Howard to replace a very young Hargrove who really started to dominate last season? I dont agree with that.

You dont have a spot for Incognito on the O-Line.

Hutchinson will be Franchised by Seattle

Claiborne will not, I repeat, WILL NOT move to OLB. Never again.

Going after Tommy Polley is just stupid. He didnt do anything while he was here and he's horrible in run support.

I would definately bring back Chris Massey, Dejuan Groce, Tyoka Jackson, and Archuleta. If Arch is brought back, that would free the Rams up in the first round allowing them to trade out of the first round or select a LB. Arch is still a good player. He didnt become bad overnight.

The thing that concerns me with Archuleta are his concussions. Our first priority should be interior offensive line (Bulger cannot go through another season like the last one), then safety, then cornerback, then tight end, then linebacker.

When did Anthony Hargrove ever dominate a football game in the NFL? Talk about overstatement. He was at best mediocre this season.

Arch didn't get concussions did he? I thought it was that he herniated his disk or something.

Why would you resign Cason and Harris but then still pursue DeShaun Foster? Especially if Faulk comes back? I can live with one of Harris/Cason, but not both and we don't need to spend anytime worrying about free agent running backs.

And..."resign at any cost but don't go to high"? Which is it?

Don't go to high:)

Archuleta left game at New England 11/18 in second quarter with concussion and was inactive for the next two contests (vs. Tampa Bay 11/26 and at Atlanta 12/2)…came back as reserve vs. San Francisco 12/9 before leaving game in fourth quarter with concussion…sat out game at New Orleans 12/17 with concussion…

Your free agents and depth chart looks straight out of Madden. Not very realistic for us to get Mike Flanagan, Steve Hutchinson, Darren Howard, Will Allen, Nate Clements (whom I assume is who you meant when you put Clemens), and Jerry Azumah.

Well what about the draft?

please take Brandon Manumaleuna off your FA list, he is not a FA. Also, who is going to be our long snapper without Chris Massey, who happens to be one of the best young snappers in the league?

5 1/2 sacks in the last three games. I'll take that production from a first year starter and a guy who has played the position for only a few years.

Draft looks pretty good. Not sure if Rucker is there in the sixth, but you did a good job with the draft.

Thanks:) I finally came to my senses and I hope that in the second round Hodge is there.

i believe the rams will go for a defensive end/ safety this year in the draft and then look in free agency for any other holes missing... i hope arch will be back but a little fairy has told me that arch is being persued heavily by the bears...( i have inside sources with some bears personal)
