worldwide ramsEd "Pi Double i" Henderson  The Los Angeles Rams have parted ways with defensive line coach Bill Johnson, and have hired the Los Angeles Charges assistant defensive line coach Eric Henderson. The Chargers players know the man as "Coach Henny," swaps one NFL Los Angeles team for the other.
"Coach Henny," served two seasons with the Chargers as their assistant defensive line coach. He started his coaching career at Oklahoma State and the University of Texas-San Antonio before getting his shot in the NFL with the Chargers. With the Chargers, Henderson had the opportunity to coach pass-rushing duo of Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram, and veteran Brandon Membrane in the interior. Now at the helm of the Rams, he inherits one of the leagues most fierce defensive line with prevailing two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year Aaron Donald, Michael Brockers, John Franklin-Meyers, and Morgan Fox. The Rams moved on from veteran Ndamukong Suh and drafted nose tackle Greg Gaines from the University of Washington to plug the inside. However, do not rule out second-year Sebastian Joseph-Day, who been impressing the coaching staff during the OTA's and minicamp. The Rams will look to repeat and return to the Super Bowl to avenge their loss to the New England Patriots. They have the nucleus on the interior line to get them to Miami this upcoming season and win Los Angeles Rams their first World Championship.

WORLDWIDE RAMSEd "Pi Double i" Henderson  The Los Angeles Rams have unrestricted free agent cornerback Troy Hill to a two-year deal. Hill's contract has a base value of $5.25M and would receive a $3M bonus if he plays 52.5% of snaps on defense next season.
Hill went undrafted in the 2015 NFL Draft and signed with the Cincinnati Bengals as UDFA. The Bengals released Hill, and the Rams signed him to the team where he has played the last three season. It did not go smooth for Hill where a DUI involving an accident led to his arrest the 2016 season. The Rams suspended Hill for that Sunday's game and then released him the next following day. However, with injuries to the defensive backfield, Rams would give Hill a second chance and signed him to the practice squad. Hill was promoted to the 53-man roster and later started a couple of games. Hill has stepped up and played in some good games as a starter and as a reserve. The Rams have a defensive backfield this season with returning reserves players such as Nikel Robey-Coleman, Dominque Hatfield, Kevin Peterson, Dont'e Deayon, Ramon Richards, Darious Williams, and fourth-round selection rooking David Long from the University of Michigan. worldwide ramsEd "Pi Double i" Henderson  The Los Angeles Rams have signed linebacker Ketner Kupp, the younger brother of third-year receiver Cooper Kupp. Kupp went undrafted in the 2019 NFL from Eastern Washington where his older brother set NCAA records at receiver. However, he signed with the San Francisco 49ers as an undrafted free agent but waived after a short stint with the team.
The three time All Big Sky Academic team winner, was a captain for Eastern Washington posting 115 tackles (5 1/2 for loss), one interception, and four deflected passes. Kupp also added one touchdown to his career on a 95 interception return. Kupp added to the 90-man roster will have a fierce battle to break the Rams line-backing core. The Rams are returning starters Dante Fowler Jr., Cory Littleton, and Samson Ebukam, signed veteran linebacker Clay Matthews Jr, and back-ups Justin Lawler, Trevon Young, Ogbonnia Okoronkwo, Bryce Hager, Travin Howard and projected starter Micah Kiser. The Rams also drafted rookie linebacker Dakota Allen out Texas Tech in the seventh round, and signed free agent Josh Carraway, and signed UDFA's Landis Durham (Texas A&M), Natrez Patrick (Georgia), and Troy Reeder (Delaware). Kupp dreams on making the team will rely on him standing out on special teams to break the 53-man roster; the Rams have some very young talent on the roster as he will need to impress the coaching staff. WorldWide RamsEd "Pi Double i" Henderson  The Los Angeles Rams have added outside linebacker Josh Carraway to the team after the release of safety Blake Countess. Countess refused to accept a pay cut which led to his release.
Carraway, a seventh-round selection of the 2017 NFL Draft by the Tennessee Titans, played collegiately at TCU. Carraway would make the Titans 53-man initial roster but would be released mid-season. Carraway would clear waivers as the Titans would resign him to their practice squad. Carraway remained with the Titans but released in 2018, and signed to the Washington Redskins practice squad. The 6'3" 245 pound Carraway will compete as an EDGE Rusher with the Rams a position that the Rams are brutally seeking a presence with an outside force. The Rams added veteran Clay Matthews during free agency, and also have Obo Okoronkwo, Matt Longacre, Samson Ebukam, Justin Lawler, Trevon Young, and Dante Flower Jr. to compete. Worldwide rams Ed "Pi Double i" Henderson  On April 15th, the Los Angeles Rams and safety Blake Countess reached an agreement with his ERFA contract for $2M, and after the completion of the 2019 NFL Draft, after it was all said and done, the Rams would draft not one but two safeties. On May 2nd, the Rams waived Countess after he declined to accept a pay cut to remain with the team after selecting two safeties from the draft.
The Rams General Manager Les Snead traded back out of the first round by sending their 31st overall pick to the Atlanta Falcons for their second round 45th overall selection. Snead would initiate another move by trading back with the New England Patriots for exchange for their 56th and 101st overall picks. However, Snead wasn't done executing trades, as he would send that 56th pick to the Kansas City Chiefs in exchange for their 61st and 167th overall selections. With that 61st pick, the Rams would select Washington's safety Taylor Rapp as their first 2019 selection. The Rams would choose Penn State's special team phenom and safety Nick Scott in the seventh round adding yet another safety to the depth chart. At the beginning of free agency, the team signed veteran safety Eric Weddle to a two-year deal, and the team in addition to Countess has Marqui Christian, John Johnson III, and Steven Parker. It's not clear whether or not Countess was the only player to take a pay cut but its clear that he was not in favor of accepting. Countess been with the team for the last two seasons as a prominent special teams player and also was named NFC Special Team Player of the Week last season after replacing injured JoJo Natson on kickoff returns. With the release of Countess, the Rams front office announced that if cleared waivers they would welcome him back, but that idea halted as the Philadelphia Eagles signed Countess at his same contract amount. In a subsequent move, the Rams added second year linebacker Josh Carraway who spent time on both the Washington Redskins and Tennessee Titans practice squad.  The Los Angeles Rams have resigned linebacker Bryce Hager to the team to a one year contract. The Rams drafted Hager in the seventh round of the 2015 NFL Draft where he played a integral part to their special teams.
Hager played collegiately at Baylor University where he was known as a fast and wrecking inside linebacker. The Rams used Hager on passing downs early in his career and started one game for former inside linebacker Alec Ogletree. Throughout Hager's career, he has totaled 37 tackles with 27 solo tackles in 64 total games. Terms of Hager's contract yet to be disclosed.

 | HIS UNUSUAL SIZE AT 6’4" WILL BE TEMPTING FOR MANY, BUT I THINK THAT HIS FLAWS CAN CAUSE HIM TO FALL THIS LOW. HE IS A VERY GOOD PRESS COVER CORNER THAT MAKES UP HIS “LACK OF SPEED” (4.64 40 TIME) WITH HIS AGGRESSION AND BALL SKILLS, HIS LARGE ARMS AND FRAME COULD BE VERY USEFUL AT THE BEGINNING OF HIS CAREER, WHILE HE STILL LEARNS HOW TO ADJUST AND PLAY MORE ZONE COVERAGE. REMEMBER, RICHARD SHERMAN WAS LABELED AS BIG BUT SLOW AND DROPPED UNTIL THE 5TH ROUND, HE WAS AN INCH SHORTER THAN WILLIAMS, AND WE KNOW THE OUTCOME OF HIS CAREER, LET THEM SLEEP, LET US WIN |
third round
#99 CONNOR MCGOVERN OG PENN STATE
 | AGAIN, A TWO POSITION STARTER IN COLLEGE (GUARD/CENTER), HE HAS ADEQUATE SIZE FOR THE NFL AND IS A MAULER IN THE RUN GAME, BUT HAS MANY FLAWS THAT CAN BE ADDRESSED, ESPECIALLY COACHED BY A COAH SUCH AS AARON KROMER. I BELEIVE THE RAMS CAN DRAFT HIM, AND IF THEY LIKE EITHER NOTEBOOM OR ALLEN BETTER, THEY CAN GROOM HIM OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS TO BE A NFL STARTING CALIBER INTERIOR OFFENSIVE LINEMAN. |
FOURTH ROUND
#133 DAVID MONTGOMERY RB IOWA STATE
 | I’M TAKING A FLYER HERE, AS I CURRENTLY THINK HE IS THE BEST, MOST COMPLETE RUNNING BACK IN THE DRAFT, BUT I’VE NOT SEEN HIM RANKED IN THE TOP 5 OF HIS POSITION ON MANY BOARDS. IF HE IS HERE AT THIS POINT, I WOULDN’T THINK TWICE IN PULLING THE PLUG. HE IS A TRUE THREE DOWN BACK, AS HE CAN RUN, MONTGOMERY CAN CATCH AND HE CAN BLOCK, BUT HIS LACK OF EXPLOSION IN THE OPEN FIELD CAN LURE SOME TEAMS AWAY FROM HIM. |
FIFTH ROUND
#169 DAYLON MACK DT TEXAS A&M
 | THERE ARE FEW TRUE NOSE TACKLES THAT I’VE SEEN THAT HAS THE FIRST STEP THAT MACK HAV., DON’T READ MUCH INTO HIS EARLY CAREER STATS; HE WAS PLAYING IN A SYSTEM THAT DIDN’T SUIT HIS GAME. HOWEVER, IN THE FINAL SEASON OF HIS COLLEGIATE CAREER, HE EXPLODED AND SHOWED THE WORLD THE BEAST HE CAN TRULY BECOME. HE IS A TRUE RUN STOPPER THAT NEEDS TO FINESSE HIS PASS RUSHING MOVES. PAIR HIM UP WITH AARON DONALD AND THEY WILL BE A NIGHTMARE DUO EVEN FOR THE BEST CENTER-GUARD DUOS IN THE LEAGUE; SPEED WOULD BE UNSTOPPABLE. |
SIXTH ROUND
203.- BEN BURR-KIRVEN LB WASHINGTON
 | I KNOW YOU WILL BASH ME FOR WHAT I’M ABOUT TO SAY, BUT KIRVEN IS THE BEST OFF BALL LB IN THIS CLASS. HIS LACK OF SIZE WILL MAKE HIM FALL DEEP. BUT HE REALLY MAKES UP HIS LACK OF SIZE WITH HIS VISION AND SPEED, THERE IS A REASON HE WAS THE NATIONS LEADING TACKLER, PLUS, HE PLAYED WITH COREY LITTLETON IN 2016, THE CHEMISTRY SURE WOULD HELP. BEST OFF-BALL LB IN THE CLASS GUYS |
SEVENTH ROUND
251.- LUKAS DENIS S BOSTON COLLEGE
 | TALK ABOUT CHEMISTRY, HIS FORMER TEAMMATE COULD BE HIS NEW ONE (JOHN JOHNSON III). A FORMER CORNER THAT TRANSITIONED WELL WITH BC’S COACHING STAFF MOVED HIM TO CORNER WITH HIS SMOOTHNESS AND ATHLETIC ABILITY. HE CAN BE A SINGLE HIGH SAFETY WHILE JOHNSON CRAWLS INTO THE BOX, AND HE CAN HOLD THAT FS POSITION IN A COUPLE OF GROOMING YEARS WITH PEACE. AS WE WILL BE FINE WITH NEW ARRIVAL ERIC WEDDLE, WHO'S BEEN TOUTED AS AN EXCELLENT TEAMMATE AND MENTOR, PERFECT FIT? HECK YEAH! |

#99 Jachai polite vs Florida St (2018)
Strengths: Very athletic with great size, and speed that allows him to make many tackles from behind. Has an explosive get, blowing past the tackle or tight end. A stockpile of moves, with counters, devastating spin move, or just extreme power as a bull rusher. Unique ability to get to the quarterback and great instincts to strip the ball wall making the sack. Has an elite bend while dropping hips and get around the corner with relative ease. Has the ability to contain the outside well against reverses, scrambling quarterbacks, deception plays.
Weaknesses:
Will struggle to disengage from blockers and get pushed around by massive blockers. Only played the EDGE for two years, will need more experience at the next level. Tend to tackles very high at times and not able to handle bigger pulling linemen.
Draft Grade: 5.46
Draft Projection: 4th Round
Does He Fit?: Yes, but will need to probably add 20 pounds of build to his body, as the Rams continue to look for playmaking EDGE Rushers. Polite has an upside but could be a one year project.

#8 Darrell Henderson vs ucf (2018 aac championship)
Strengths: A very elusive runner, that is hard to tackle with a tremendous cutback or jump cut. Notably, slippery not allowing defenders to get direct hits on him by bouncing outside or dipping inside. Great balance even after a hit, and able to spin off the tackler for additional yards after contact. Has the ability to expedite his speed even after a stop or cut. Very fast, can get into the second level quick and hit the home run past the secondary. Good strength who can below pad level and be the hitter aside from getting hit.
Has a great vision, to pick up necessary short yardage when nothing is available. Good hands, very dangerous in coming out the backfield and effective with screens. Tremendous mix match on one on one coverage with linebacker or safety.
Weaknesses: Protecting the ball, has some fumble issues, especially as a receiver. Tends to run with the ball not protected, need to switch to and keep the ball outside of the tackler's view. Too much speed can be an issue as a runner, need to more patient when running inside the guards. Will need to get better as a pass protector at the next level.
Draft Grade: 5.51
Draft Projection: 2nd-3rd Round
Does He Fit?: Yes, with all the news regarding Todd Gurley's arthritic knee, and the resigning of Malcom Brown, Henderson can be a tremendous spark for the offense as well as contingency plan. Not to take anything away from Brown, but Henderson tremendously have more of an upside than Brown. Henderson reminds of that one back that hurt the New England Patriots week one of the 2017 NFL season opener. Great third down back to help Gurley to get some rest or mix match against the defense.

#53 t.J. Edwards vs. Michigan (2017)
Strengths: Very productive college career in one of the country's top conferences. Technically sound tackler. Pretty good in zone coverage, and had ten career interceptions. Reads quarterbacks well and uses that ability to break up passes and make plays. Lots of experience in the big game again top opponents. As mentioned in his bio above, Edwards is a football player, a blue-collar guy who will stick his nose in there and make plays. His production in college far exceeds what we would expect from his combine numbers. A durable player who seems always to be ready to play and will not make stupid mistakes
Weaknesses: Edwards is neither especially big nor exceptionally fast, and he is not a "sideline to sideline" playmaker. While he is fine in zone coverage, he is not a guy we want to match up against an opponent in man coverage very often; he lacks the speed and athleticism for that. Might not be a "plug and play" guy who can start immediately.
Draft Grade: 5.47
Draft Projection: 4th-6th round
Does He Fit?: Yes, although he might have to make his mark on special teams at first. Edwards is a guy we can probably grab in the lower rounds and gradually work into the linebacker rotation. However, Corey Littleton took that path with the Rams as an undrafted free agent, and he has worked out pretty well
