Analysis

The LA Rams are kings of win-now, as evidenced by their offseason activity and no draft picks through the first 103 selections. It’s worked out so far. QB Matthew Stafford can win games with this squad, but the loss of key veterans on both sides of the ball will test their depth in a strong division. The Rams won’t repeat, but they remain one of the best teams in football.

Prediction: 1st in division. In a strong NFC West, what puts the Rams over the top is organizational smarts, from the players, to the coaches, to the GM, to ownership. This team is on the same winning page.
