Rams aren't a problem in the trenches when we're not decimated on defense. rams are a problem cuz of Stafford.

Stafford shredded that vaunted darkseid to pieces in the NFCG.

Because he's Matt Stafford and can make every throw in the game but also because their offense has two dominant WRs, great 3 TE package and yes a pretty good OL.

However overall I wouldn't say their trenches are scary. Yes their DL is great pass rushing unit but we've always done well against them with our scheme.

The silver lining here; if we can actually hit on our top draft picks this year, we are right back in it!

Spending so much time and energy on how bad we've drafted in the top three rounds over the past 10 years, or how much better we would be if we had drafted better, doesn't help us one bit right now. We have to hit in the upcoming draft as well as free agency and stay healthy in order to compete in the NFC West.

Well said glorydayz.

But actually they need to hit on this off season. Like Lynch said, they'll have more flexibility in terms of spending and they have the chance to hit on this draft. Even more so thanks to Mac Jones's value.

I don't see why Lynch said they'll have more flexibilty in terms of spending. Their cap space this year is estimated between $23 million and $37 million. Last year it was $50 million. Maybe because they have Purdy's contract done?

They'll have more than that, they'll have up to $20M in adjustments from base salary guarantees being paid back, per game roster bonuses not earned, LTBEs not earned, injury policy paybacks like for Bosa & Aiyuk, they're gonna be close to $50M in cap room when the offseason begins, plus any contract they end up doing will have a cheap yr 1 cap number.

What is the projected cap number for next season, will this also determin what we have to spend or have you already factored that in AB?

Needs to hit it out of the park this offseason. The resources are there

Nothing fills me with dread more than a picture of Shanny and Lynch yucking it up on draft night. Can't wait for another episode of blue tent receivers mighty mite running backs and that long snapper we so desperately need. BPA man! Shanalynch!

You keep ignoring the salient points of that first draft and why they made the choices they did. They were completely rebuilding the roster which was one of the worst in the league. Both Lynch and Shanahan believed the best way to do that was to start rebuilding the defense. In hindsight, you can argue against the choices they made but at the time, Thomas and Foster were generally regarded as being pretty good players.

You also continue to ignore the oft repeated fact that Shanahan had his QB in mind, one that he worked with before and knew could operate his system, Kirk Cousins. If you're goal is to get the team back into contention as quickly as possible then the logical choice would be to go with the guy you know you can win with and not draft a player that had a kind of backyard style in college and might not be the best choice for the system you wanted to run.

The problem with your argument, and everyone else who tries to make it, is that aside from the Chiefs, there probably wasn't a single team that held Mahomes in as a high regard. Because he turned out to be such a good player it's easy to come in here and say, in hindsight, oh they should have picked Mahomes. but that's just altering the facts to suit the narrative.

Kirk Cousins has played some very good games in his career and it's not too much of a stretch to think if they had waited a year to get him and built up the roster some more, he might have ended up being very successful here. They might even have gotten that ring that everyone seems so desperate for.

But instead of looking at things through the lens of what was actually going on at the time, you continue to come in here and b***h about the same things over and over again, as if you brain was on some kind of a tape loop with only one song on it. I don't pay a lot of attention to your posts but in the handful I've scanned I don't recall seeing that you ever had a single positive thing to say about team. If you got off of your one-way track for a while and actually contributed something meaningful to the conversation you might have a better chance of convincing people in here that you something other than a troll.

Yes, this is fantastic roster building. Hope a QB will be available the next offseason. Brilliant

They don't need a new QB, Purdy is the franchise QB.

What??

We were talking about not taking a QB in 2017 because Cousins might be available in 2018

We don't need to rehash 2017 again for the 100th time.

Don't go there again.

I have them at $46.322M on a $305M cap, that includes just under $12M in adjustments, but they may get more, as high as $20M, maybe even more, they should have nearly $50M when March begins.

purdy

cmc
Kittle

greenlaw
warner
bosa

am is I missing anything else? Maybe sanders? Hufuanga? Shanahan and lynch have been able to survive the garbage drafts with the above moves. Now that the core outside of Purdy are either gone or old, I'm curious to see where this team goes.

So let's see…bold players drafted by this front office that can't draft and the two remaining players traded for by the front office that can't trade.

Checks out

9 players in 10 years. ZERO impact players under 25 years old.

I think Chat GTP could do a better job

i think the Lance trade makes the regime look a lot worse than it actually is I feel like we have been drafting some pretty decent impact players in first few rounds
2025 Draft
Round 1, Pick 11: Mykel Williams, DL, Georgia - Young player that played well earlier in the season before the ACL injury i have a hard time seeing this as not a hit although i will not count as a hit yet but he was on pace to be one of the best run defenders in the NFL at the EDGE position and was on pace to be around top 20 in pressures
Round 2, Pick 43: Alfred Collins, DT, Texas- At the very least hes a solid player that helped the run game
Round 3, Pick 75: Nick Martin, LB, Washington State
Round 3, Pick 100: Upton Stout, CB, Western Kentucky - Extremelly solid rookie year and can become one of the better slot CB in nfl
Round 4, Pick 113: C.J. West, DT, Indiana - Similar to Collins at the very least hes shown to be a reliable player on the DL
Round 4, Pick 138: Jordan Watkins, WR, Ole Miss

2024 Draft
Round 1 (31): Ricky Pearsall, WR, Florida - Bad luck with injuries but when on the field has been very solid at the very least hes a solid #2 WR
Round 2 (64): Renardo Green, CB, Florida State- Has proven to be a reliable starter at CB
Round 3 (86): Dominick Puni, OL, Kansas - Another proven starter at the G position
Round 4 (124): Malik Mustapha, S, Wake Forest - You can debate this one but i think hes been a solid box S
Round 4 (129): Isaac Guerendo, RB, Louisville
Round 4 (135): Jacob Cowing, WR, Arizona

I think the bold players have shown to be reliable starers. I get for some the jury might be out on Pearsall and Williams but based on what i have seen on the field they have shown to be reliable starters and next year i think they will be borderline star players. We saw that with Pearsall before the PCL injury and he has been unlucky with injuries.

Good assessment.

Mustapha isn't reliable. Can't cover and is a questionable tackler.
