With combine week here, and draft day a couple of months away, its time for the ‘new’ front office to begin showing us they have a handle on this process and on free agent evaluation, I personally think Billy Devaney ‘s hiring and the signal it seems to give from Jay Zygmunt as to the Rams actually having a full-power personnel department, means better results in the future, starting with the present year.
To be fair some of the past first round ‘whiffs’ would have also been made by other organizations also, Damione Lewis, Jimmy Kennedy, and Adam Archuleta come to mind, (ranked in the order of my disappointment with their end results). I would venture to say we wont have a Trung Candidate on our draft board under Devaney, even if the head coach likes him.
I am curious like everyone else as to how our draft picks pan out from Round 1 Though round 7. Contacts cultivated over the years by Devaney, and the rest of the Rams staff involved will hopefully help them accomplish some dynamite draft picks and free agent acquisitions. Billy’s years of experience in a front office role HAS to be a big plus for the Rams front office, along with an understanding by Zygmunt and others that they better get it right this time. That atrocious season past may have been the only wakeup call that got through to them. Here’s hoping so, anyway, it sure was a bear to watch (No Chicago pun intended)
