Rams Eyeing Garoppolo, Draft Moves for Stafford's Future

0:00On April 9th, the Los Angeles Rams are eyeing Jimmy Garoppolo as a backup quarterback for Matthew Stafford, especially if Stafford gets hurt, or retire soon. Insiders say Garoppolo's past time with the Rams makes him a solid fit as a high-end reserve or even a bridge guy down the line. Albert Breer from NFL Circles points out Garoppolo's still on the market with few spots left, and the Rams door is wide open. But some analysts argue the team should skip him and hunt for other stopgaps post, Stafford to avoid risks. Fans and mocks are buzzing too, with Peter Schrager projecting the Rams grabbing wide receiver McCuy Lemon at Pick 13. That's all about loading up weapons for Stafford's final push, the kind of playmaker Rams brass loves. Meanwhile, chatter in Rams' fandom suggests general manager Les Sneed might trade down from 13 to stockpile more mid-round picks, like extra, thirds or fourths, depending on who's left on the board. Bottom line, whether it's Garoppolo suiting up or draft moves shaking things up, the Rams are planning ahead to keep their offense humming no matter.
