Cards4520: Thanks for taking the time to answer our questions.
1.) How would you rate (on a grading scale) our secondary if were to sign Butler? If we draft Curry, (also we get Butler) how would you rate our defense as a whole?
2.) Who are they looking to fill the Fullback position? (hopefully not Brian Leonard)
3.) Do Pace or Holt even want to stay here for the tranistional phase?

Jim Thomas: 1.) I'd say C+. They need another corner. Or two.
1A.) I'd say B- (this is assuming Butler signs as well). They need another corner or two, plus a run-stuffing DT.
2.) I've mentioned Weaver, Evans, and T. Smith. But Corey McIntyre (Buffalo) is another possibility.
3.) That's debatable. We all know Holt wasn't very happy last season.

cardsnumber7: Hi Jim,
Could you please predict our starting Oline for this season? with or without Pace?
Where does Greco fit into all this?
Thanks
Todd W.

Jim Thomas: Sorry, it's just too early to tell.
Superram13: Jim, What are the chances the Rams could surprise everyone and grab Malcomb Jenkins with their first pick?
Jim Thomas: Well, he ran a very slow time (for a corner) at the Combine, and I don't think you take a safety that high unless you think he's the next Ronnie Lott.
safaribill: Any chance Rams trade Holt to Giants for a D Lineman?
Jim Thomas: Hmmm. The Giants do seem to have a bunch of them, don't they?
gnykin2: JT, your blogs are music to my eyes. Love the constant heads up. Any chance Jacob Bell turns into the above-avg guard we though we were getting, or do the people at Rams park (yourself included) think that is probably wishful thinking? I think he does need to add a little weight.
Jim Thomas: I think it's way too early to call him a bust. The coaches feel he played better down the stretch.
