Linebacker -
Will
Witherspoon has been a force,
just as the Rams had hoped when
they signed him in the 2006
offseason. But Dexter Coakley
and Brandon Chillar have played
like crap Coakley has played
decently at times, but not
consistently. Plus, Coakley has
registered in the box-score in
just seven games and he’ll turn
thirty-five during the 2007
season. They could really use a
linebacker along the lines of
Patrick Willis.
Defensive Line -
With
Leonard Little turning
thirty-three next season, and
Adeyanju’s lack of production
the Rams need to add depth, and
maybe also upgrade one of the
starting positions by tapping
into the free agent market or
spending a mid-round draft on an
end with athletic ability. In
the middle, La'Roi Glover
is still a good player, but a
replacement needs to be found.
Former 1st rounder Jimmy Kennedy
is nothing special.
Cornerback - Tye Hill
will be a fine player, but I
wouldn't have Fakhir Brown as my
corner in division II They need
to upgrade the other side badly.
Offensive Line - Adam
Timmerman is getting up there in
age, and center Richie Incognito
is questionable. When Pace went
down it destroyed the Ram's
playoff hopes. St. Louis needs
to bring in at least one starter
and some depth.
Wide Receiver -
With Kevin
Curtis set to hit the free agent
market and starters Isaac Bruce
and Torry Holt both in their
thirties, the team will need to
look at bringing some more youth
to the position
St.
Louis Rams Free Agency
Notes:
The Rams need to address
their line, Leonard Little was
the only proven pass rusher last
year.
At wide receiver depth may be
an issue, after veterans Torry
Holt and Isaac Bruce if Curtis,
the No. 3 at his position last
year, leaves. Steven Jackson
had a breakout year at running
back, but there's little depth
at the position. Rams addressed
two areas of need during season,
signing Little and LB Pisa
Tinoisamoa to extensions
