Terrance Ferguson is an explosive athlete. Over 25% of his catches last year went for 20+ yards.
Everything he does is physical. Runs physical routes. He's physical after the catch as he ranked 3rd in YAC/rec. Willing blocker.

Essentially, this is what my grades/rankings are going to look like this year. Looking at RBs here.
I have a cumulative grade based on my data and from that data, I'm putting these players into "buckets" similar to Rams draft process.
Eventually will have a full Rams "big board".

It’s only a $7 million cap hit for Rams LT Alaric Jackson in 2025.
That’s an absolute steal.
Essentially just a two-year deal. Can move on and save $19 million in 2027.

They're such a good fit too! Noel was one of the better "high energy blockers" that I saw at the Senior Bowl. Higgins is a good route-runner for being 6'4.
Talked to Noel and Higgins in Mobile about Scheelhaase. Noel called him "a connector."

Awesome answer here from Jack Nelson on how Rams OT Rob Havenstein helped him with his pass sets last year at spring practices.

I asked Michigan TE Colston Loveland about his ability to block.
Called it an u serrated aspect of his game. Had been blocking since his freshman year, but just wasn’t asked to do it a lot.

Talked with FSU DL Joshua Farmer who mentioned a few Rams.
Said Kobie Turner and Braden Fiske are both players he watches. Fiske has been texting him this week and the two are tight.

Really good visual here from OTC on the Rams cap situation.
Rams have cash to burn in 2025 if they choose, and also have low money tied up in players that did not meet starter median performance according to OTC’s valuation metric.

Have seen a lot that "the Rams don't need DL."
DJ is SPOT ON here.
Can never have too much DL.
Rams are on track to lose three DL in free agency. Eagles emphasized that the best way to mitigate elite QBs like Mahomes is having guys up front that allow you to rush 4 + can create havoc.
