Rams' Offseason Moves: Smart Draft, Cautious Free Agency

0:00On April 5th, the Los Angeles Rams crushed their offseason with smart moves that skipped the bad ones, positioning them perfectly for a strong draft. After that, they'll hit the veteran-free agent market again, but they got to dodge a few risky names like Joey Bosa, Travon Digs, and Jadevi in Clowney. To keep the momentum, take Bosa, who bounced from the chargers to the bills and notched just five sacks in 15 games last year. He's got elite skills when healthy, but the injuries from a nine-year grind, offside penalties, and no discount demands make him too pricey a gamble, even to team up with Brother Nick. Digs bounced around too, leaving Dallas for a stint with Green Bay before getting cut. The Rams already grabbed cornerbacks like Trent McDuffy and kept the manual forbs, so why chase a vet whose peak feels behind him and might not mesh? In their scheme? Clowney showed up with 8.5 sacks in 13 games for Dallas, and he could produce alongside the Rams' talent. But with young guns like Josiah Stewart, rising in established linemen in place, his roles unclear plus, familiar options like Vaughn Miller are still.
