Now that we have a man with balls instead of a big sissy as head coach, the team may adapt some natural attitude...a swagger if you will. But we have to do something about the cap and new blood on the roster. First off, I say trade Steven Jackson. Someone is bound to give a very high 1st Rd pick or a dominate WR maybe Jackson for Boldin? If we get a high 1st round pick, Id go against the grain and take Crabtree. I know I know, we need an O-line, but this draft is stacked with them. Plus we can piss off our rivals the Seahawks who REALLY want him. I just think that he can be an Andre Johnson type WR that you cant pass up on. Keep Tory Holt for a year or so to help him mature and then he can be paired with Donnie Avery who had an impressive rookie year(could be scary), And the O-linemen at the top of this draft are good but I wouldnt say special. With that extra pick we can take RB Knowshon Moreno or a top O-lineman and grab someone like Michael Bush from the Raiders or who knows maybe Spags will snatch up Brandon Jacobs or Ward. There are some VERY good LBs listed to be there at the top of the 2nd round like Cushing and Sintim or if they havnt yet, take the most dominate LT. Round 3, take Fili Moala to join Carriker.

I HAVE HOPES!!!!!!!!!!

Somehow, we just missed Matt Cassell for a 2nd round pick??? How'd that happen? Crabtree's foot injury is being called not serious. And, he's still a potential next Jerry Rice. We need him because Holt will be gone. Pace will be gone too. I think Spag and Jason Brown will snap the O-Line to attention. I'd expect much better play out of Barron, Incognito and Bell now. And, we can pick up Pace's replacement in rounds 2-7. We kept Atogwe. Now I hope we can get Butler and retain Bartell. Chris Long@ 260 lbs, needs to move to LB. Witherspoon's still a good player. Even though he's old, we kept Little. Now Carriker needs to show something in his 3rd year. Chavous is out and Pisa, Tye Hill and Fakir Brown need to be gone. So the defense is going to have some journey men in 2009. Even with a mediocre O-Line, if Bulger's got Jackson to hand the ball to and Crabtree, Avery, Burton and McMichael as targets, we should score some points this season. Even if a lot of them come from Josh Brown FG's. With even a slightly improved defense, I could see the Rams winning a few games by scores of 34-31, 28-27, 30-27, 24-23, etc. in 2009 and maybe going 7-9 or 8-8.

screw it, im not for aiming for a 7-9 season, I say go for broke, worst to first, either be primed to make a run in the playoffs, or tank it to be able to draft Bradford or McCoy next year. Hey if we grab Crabtree, hows about a run at Gram Harrell in the later rounds? Nice little reunion!! Im not so much worried about the D because Spags will bring a cattle prod to practice until they decide to tackle someone. I do agree about Jackson, right on Tweeder!! Ship him to the Desert for Boldin and then we can take the top OL in 1st round and Brown in Round2. The perfect trade for both sides could be... sayyyy, Jackson and Holt for Boldin and 2nd round or that low 1st round they hold.

Exactly who will run the ball for us if Jackson goes......??? Not Leonard, not Pittman, not Karney, and not likely Darby. Jax is ALL we've got at RB. And, while I didn't like his holdout last year, he's a great player, he's young, and he's big and tall. With Karney and Jason Brown there to block for him, Jax might pickup 1500 rush yards this year. And, he can catch passes too. I do agree 100% with getting Crabtree. He'd be an immediate impact player. Between, Crab, Avery, Burton, McMichael and Jackson, even Bulger might be able to hit one of 'em.
