So right now we are 0-7 and this is the way i think our off season will go down
First: Pat Shurmur is released (finally). Giants RB coach Jerald Ingram fills that spot hopefully he can do something.
Second: Bulger reconstructs his contract to keep his job as Rams starter (for now).
RE-SIGN:
TE Dan Fells about 3-4 yrs.
Receiving TE can help if we cannot get a good receiver in the draft. Even if we do Fells is a good 2nd catching TE like Shincoe was in NY.
OG/C Richie Incognito about 1-2 yrs
At this point we do not need to create a whole at Guard. So we get cogs for the short term and find a suitable starter in the next yr or 2.
DE James Hall 1yr
I think Little will either retire or spend one more year elsewhere. So we need a veteran leader and Hall has played well for us.
DT Cliff Ryan 4-5 yrs
Give me 1 reason why we wont re-sign our best DT that is only 25 right now.
DB John Wade 1 yr
He is a restricted free agent so we will obviously tender him if someone else wants him they give us a 1st rounder. or 3rd depending on how much we tender him.
S Craig Dahl 2-3 yrs
pleasant surprise for us.
OJ Atogwe 2 yrs
I think if we cannot re-sign him we will just put the franchise on him then he will negotiate a deal for about 2 yrs and see the direction of the team.
Key Depatures:
DE Leonard Little (see james hall)
OG Jacob Bell (i dont see him reconstructing his deal which will get him cut)
TE Randy McMicheal (good riddance)
OT Alex Barron (penalties aside he is having a good year; i think we low ball him and some team gives him big bucks and a long term deal because of his size and talent. )
OLB Paris Lenon (why would we resign an average 32 yr old.
QB Kyle Boller (he could not protect the Boll)
DE Victor Adeyenju (we kept on keeping him inactive i dont think spags likes him)
RB Ken Darby (not as good a blocker as last year)
NOTE: For all of you that think we can sign Breaston or Moore: why would young receivers destined for a good future come to the Rams that have QB issues?
Key Arrivals:
DT Barry Coefield
This is a popular one because the G-men have depth on DL and Coefield will start with the Rams. He has conections with Spags.
LB Chris Gocong
He has connections with spags. He is a big LB. THe eagles just got spoon so they probably wont keep him. Your probably thinking why would he switch to OLB and come to the Rams. This will be the guy we give alot of money/ incentives to. He will be our "major" FA acquisition.
WR Dominik Hixon
unlike us the Giants have young receivers that are all flourishing and Hixon may be dropped in favor of Smith, Manningham and Nicks. We are in need of WRs and Hixon can try to earn a starting spot in 2010.
Trade: Rams trade Adam Carriker for an early 4th rounder.
*Draft*
Round 1: QB Jimmy Clausen, Notre Dame
It's up in the air Clausen or Locker at this point. I rather take Clausen because he has all the fundamentals down pat and he is accurate and can throw it deep. Also he is younger.
Round 2:OT Anthony Davis, Rutgers
Big OT projected late 1st-early 2nd i think he will fall to the 2nd round cuz his feet will get exposed on tape. Not a good pass blocker. But very good vs. the run. I made this pic because most of the drafts have Jared Ordik the DT from Penn State here and im getting tired of seeing his name in the 2nd for us every time.
Round 3: Eric Decker WR, Minnisota
Not a flashy receiver. A possessional receiver that can leap and is tall at 6-3 and can block well. He is polished and NFL ready.
Round 4: OG Thomas Austin, Clemson
Good run bloking OG. Big an physical. Already blocks for a good RB at the college level CJ Spiller.
(another 4th see AC trade)
Round 4: TE Garett Graham, Wisconsin
Nice pass catching TE. Should develop into a starter.
Round 5: Dekota Watson WLB, Florida State
only 225 pounds but is fast and can get to the QB. He is there for depth at OLB.
(Spoon Deal)
Round 5: Stephan Virgil DB, Virginia Tech
Plays pretty good D. Can pick it off. He is a bloomer bust guy. let's hope he turns into a successful player
Round 6: George Johnson DE, Rutgers
Big run stopping DE. Can play RE for us.
Round 7: Boris Lee OLB Troy (does not make team)
Round 7: Edward Britton WR, Texas Tech (does not make team)

Obviously we are going to have more depth then this and sign a few more FA but i just put KEY arrivals and depth charts is hard to project right now.
