Carson Strong, probably the most notable UDFA, signs with Philly.

I see a lot of "A's" and a "B" or two as to how others perceive the Rams draft.

This article looks at the draft from a pure athletic quality, where the Rams came in last.

However one looks at the new additions, I don't believe one should only grade based on where a player is drafted relative to where they were perceived to go.

I'd say a grade of "C", at best, is probably deserved, which is about as good as can be expected considering the positions where they drafted.

Pissed Snead passed up Coby Bryant for some random cornerback. Would've been quite the fit with a kid named in honor of Kobe to play in LA. Instead he was drafted by Seattle and will be a thorn on our sides for years to come.

Durant was the best athlete we drafted, I suppose. I had Bryant as a late 3rd rounder and Durant as a 4th rounder, but in this case I think the staff liked the athletic upside and ball skills of Durant.

The schedule is leaking. The Rams will play the Broncos in LA on Christmas Day. Reports are the Rams will have one of the toughest schedules this year. Although travel will be middle of the pack.

Based on last year's records, but what if those teams are worse this year, which will probably be the case with some of the NFC West teams this year.

Aaron Donald and Jalen Ramsey were among #Rams missing day 1 of OTAs, which are voluntary. Sean McVay talked to AD to wish him happy 31st birthday, and said "dialogue's been good." A contract extension is expected before the season.

Aaron Donald says on "I Am Athlete" that he could be "at peace" without football, but also jokes he's now gotten addicted to winning Super Bowls. Contract with Rams has to make sense. He also adds it'll "probably" get figured out (and he'll be at McVay's wedding this week).

Hmm, short-term deal. Sounds like we could be looking at McVay and Donald both going year-to-year with this...

Rams are giving all-pro DT Aaron Donald a two-year, $60 million extension, per sources.

More details coming…

Sources: The #Rams have re-worked All-World DT Aaron Donald’s 3 remaining contract years to give him a massive $40M raise through 2024, making him the highest paid non-QB in NFL history at 31 years old. He gets $95M(!) through 2024. https://t.co/SoDRw4GHE4

The Athletic says it's a 5-year deal.

Quote:
The three years of Aaron Donald’s existing deal were re-worked to get him to the top in a major way; five total years now exist on deal.

A path that essentially makes Donald a Ram for life, and the expected outcome since the confetti settled (even tho retirement indeed mulled).


Quote:
Just to clarify on this too (my phrasing is less than clear): Three functional years of this deal were the previously-existing remaining years, restructured in a big way. And two non-functional years added, basically. The three functional years are the important part.

There was a question about whether or not Aaron Donald would show up for minicamp. No longer a question: He came in, took a physical, and signed his new deal. Officially, official.
