Obviously the Rams need to draft a corner, hopefully in the first round. Others have rightly suggested that they should sign a free agent to bolster the secondary. I found this list. I kinda like Newsome. Who do you want? Anyone here worth taking?

Nice post JY. Interesting how fast price drops after top 3. Nice tool.

Uh, I do not like the FA market. Slim pickings, which means it will be over priced.
Seeing this list, just screams the need for the Rams to draft 2 corners with 2 of their first 4 picks.

This^………

That is not a good list. Like you said the improvement @ CB needs to come through the draft in the first 2 days and early in day 3…………

I cannot opine on this list. Don't really know anything in depth. Would have to do homework. And I def agree we have to go CB round 1 and def take 2 CBs....maybe 3.

Jack,

Thanks for the list. Surely there are several CBs on this list that would be improvements over what we currently have.

The problem is we have a lot of young core players coming up for extensions and we have to spend money on those guys. I think we can sign Durant on a reasonable deal and we have Forbes. Add a rookie in the 1st round and another one in the 3rd or 5th. If we lose Curl, Durant, Witherspoon, McCreary then this could become a really heavy draft for DB's. Not sure if Ingle and Valcarcel (who got cut last week) can compete for the 53 next year but we need them too.

That's kind of a bogus list because it says McCreary is valued at $12 mil.
