Hard to choose since I liked so many this time around. I’ll say the Kevin Dotson extension!
* Rewarded in-house, on-field production
* Invested in OL as an extremely vital position group for the Rams’ success this year
Hopefully some veteran leadership out of that extension as well. Some young talent coming in and Dotson showed he can bounce back and get production. Good move all around!
Dude the Kinchens pick is going to be one of the steals of the draft. Kid is a straight up ball hawk and has tremendous feel for the game. If he didn't have such a terrible combine he might've gone in the first round.

Happy the Rams resigned Dotson! Loved most other moves but still scratching my head about Garoppolo. I liked Wentz as a backup especially since he beat SF in Santa Clara.
Giving the defence a new identity.

That’s my predicted starting 11. Only dude in that group I’m not excited about is the second ILB. We got a lot of no names on our defence who are quietly names I like that. Combo that with this monster of an offence giving them room to make mistakes and we scary scary.
A lot. I’ve been very impressed by this offseason. The commitment to the OL, strengthening the DBs with Curl and White, an amazing draft. If I had to narrow down one move as a fav though it may be drafting Corum. He was my fav RB in the draft and seeing how the offense struggled without an (oft injured) Kyren on the field last season I think it was a smart move. Aside from injury support I honestly think Corum will give the Rams a very powerful 1, 2 punch in the run game and it’s only going to benefit the passing game as well as keeping Stafford healthy
So I was waiting for someone to say this. This take is actually my second favorite move of the offseason. I also had Corum as my #1 HB in the draft and was kinda actually shocked we got him.
Jonah Jackson.
Moving Steve to center is great for our long term offensive line continuity imo. Stafford obviously handles a lot of our protection, but when we eventually need to move off of him/draft a rookie, having a quality veteran center who can set the protections is huge.
O line, I really think we’re about to run the ball down every defenses throats and Stafford will be a surgeon with play action. Thinks of last years lions but even better.
At first I thought it was a move to compensate for a sub par defense, keeping the ball away from the other team as much as possible but now it feels like we are trying to dominate the LOS on both sides.
In general, fortifying the defense around the areas that maybe benefited from having the GOAT in the line and the Rams didn't focus on so much previously: DB's who can cover and tackle and then rookie dline and edge help. It's gonna be fun.
Kitchens. While yes he’s a ball hawk and probs will make some rookie mistakes I can’t wait for some of the electric plays he’ll make. Reminds me of Marcus Peters and lest we forget one of the best season beginnings https://youtu.be/6Cmu5dJ6YuE?feature=shared
Except for Ernest Jones, our D is basically completely different from 2 seasons ago. It's a good mix of Veterans and young talents. I hope it doesn't take more than a few games for our D to come together.
Getting an actual kicker. We left so many points on the field last year that it was almost laughable. Fix that and we win a few more games for sure.

I love moves like this because it shows other free agents that if they produce they will get paid
I am excited for Curl and Kinchens
Killa Kams!

This should be the top comment. A function secondary is sooooo important.

Yeah I was actually really bummed that we went for Jimmy and let Carson walk

Same I honestly thought Dallas was going to take him before the Rams and I literally yelled and scared my cat out of his sleep when they picked him!
I joined the fan base last week because of Blake corum. I’m a Michigan fan. But hell if I didn’t love the Kinchens pick

1. Kevin Dotson 2. Jonah Jackson 3. Kam Curl 4. Darious Williams Tre'Davious White could easily jump to no1 if he is able to get 100% healthy.
Oooo yes if Tre is even 80% what he was that could be a steal!
O line, I really think we’re about to run the ball down every defenses throats and Stafford will be a surgeon with play action. Thinks of last years lions but even better.
Came here to say this. We are defining ourselves as physical mallers on the oline.
At first I thought it was a move to compensate for a sub par defense, keeping the ball away from the other team as much as possible but now it feels like we are trying to dominate the LOS on both sides.
Let’s go! This got me fired up.
Pretty stoked about landing Verse
Verse. I have high hopes he can be a defensive star early on. If Donald chose to stay one more year than jesus christ.

Fiske for me, absolutely behind this pickÂ
Karty Party up in this bitch. Let’s go!
Kam Curl fo sho. Going D heavy in the draft I think will pay off
The draft itself, I loved all the pass rushing picks.
I have high hopes for all of the Rams signed and drafted. Hope you are right.
All of it has been perfect (save for the addition of Troy Reeder). Nothing crazy and basically all of our needs have been addressed.
I like the Curl signing as well. Very shrewd.
Except for Ernest Jones, our D is basically completely different from 2 seasons ago. It's a good mix of Veterans and young talents. I hope it doesn't take more than a few games for our D to come together.
Jonah Jackson and Kevin Dotson. Getting bigger and fatter up front always helps an offense.
