Rams needs in free agency

Top threats

Despite an OK draft (at best) draft, the Rams need some major hits in free agency if they are to continue getting better.

1. DT - They ignored this huge hole on draft day despite the presence of some promising DTs. Spagnolo, who loves his old Giants will probably go after Barry Cofield, but signing him won't be easy. He wants to stay in NY, plus a dearth of free agent DTs will push up bidding. The Rams will have to sign someone.
2. S - Letting Atogwe go was a mistake. The Rams now need two safeties. Craig Dahl is a third safety at best. There are some solid pros who should be available. Donte Whitner is worth a look and Deion Grant would be a good one year signing.
3. OLB - Pickings will be slim here too but there players who can help. Quincy Black is a good possibility, though he is coming off an injury. James Anderson had a nice year in 2010. Thomas Davis is a talent but too injury prone.
4. OG - This is the weakest link in the OL. Neither Goldberg or Bell has been productive enough. You won't find a star in this FA group but there are players who will upgrade the interior line.
5. The team still does not have a No. 1 wide receiver. They should look at a decent FA crop and find a deep ball threat. Most of the top guys are flawed in some way, but they Rams are hungry for a deep threat. I like Lance Moore in this crowd. He's not a burner but can find the end zone.

Other spots:
A backup RB is needed. Michael Bush is a load but may be looking to start.
A backup QB is needed. Look for a veteran who can play the short passing game.
While the Rams seem fairly happy with their CBs, they don't have a standout. Asogmugha would be great but too costly. Richard Marshall would work.
