DieterBrock: 1. If they don't trade out of their slot, is there any reason to believe the Rams don't use their first round pick on Monroe, J. Smith, or Curry?

2. Where are the best values in free agency and which positions do you expect them to target most aggressively?

Jim Thomas: 1.) Those sure look like the logical picks at this point.
2.) Don't know about values, but center, safety, wide receiver, offensive tackle, linebacker, fullback, all seem like possibilities.

KansanRam: What do you think would/should happen to Incognito? Will the low tender him and hope to get a 3rd round pick in return for someone else signing him? That's what I hope - an extra 3rd would be HUGE for our rebuilding phases and for the good Cogs brings - he brings WAY more bad. We have enough guards anyway, an extra 3rd is too good to pass up. Do you think someone else would sign him if we low tender him?

THANKS!

Jim Thomas: Don't know for sure. But I'm expecting a third-round tender on Incognito.

bigramsfan: HEY JIM, ARE THE RAMS SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING THE CENTER FROM THE RAVENS (BROWN) IF SO WHAT WILL HE DEMAND $$ WISE ?? AND HOW DOES THAT AFFECT THEM DRAFT WISE ? THANKS

Jim Thomas: I know the Rams like Brown; I know Brown will be expensive.

eternalramnation: JT,

When will the Rams announce their cap casualties or do they plan on keeping everyone? Don't get me wrong I like the close to the vest thing but seems we're cutting it pretty close.

Jim Thomas: Let's see. The Rams have cut Chavous and told Little they're bringing him back. I think they're working they way through the list.

eric: How much of a change would it be for Curry to move inside? Would it be an improvement over Witherspoon?


I read how Monroe was considered to have the better feet and Smith had more bench reps. Is upper body strength easier to overcome than good footwork. Comparing these two skills with Smith and Monroe who grades out better?

Jim Thomas: 1.) Well, that's the uncertain thing.
2.) In theory it would be an improvement, becuase Curry has more of the MLB physique at 254 pounds than Witherspoon.
3.) I still think Monroe probably grades out better.
