Braden Fiske apparently was “surprised” when the Los Angeles Rams selected him in the most recent NFL Draft. It’s well documented that LA traded up for Fiske and time will tell whether it was a great addition for the Rams or not. I like the move but of course we’ll have to see him play and how he adjusts to the NFL level.

Do you have any expectations for Fiske in his first year? Have I already asked that question before? Are you surprised he was surprised? Please comment on whatever you want, have a great Monday and thanks for checking out Turf Show Times!
Braden Fiske On Being Surprised Los Angeles Rams Drafted Him And Why His Contract Is Unique (forbes)
“I was definitely surprised,” said Fiske in an exclusive one-on-one interview. “Because I’ve talked about it many times in the pre-draft process, every team kind of plays their cards differently of how they show interest, the way that they recruit you, how they get to know you, how they kind of do their background checks on you. I didn’t really do anything with the Rams, hadn’t really heard much from them, hadn’t really talked to any of them at the All-Star games or the Combine.”
How The Conductor conducts himself in 2024 will steer the Rams defense (ramblinfan)
“Kobie Turner, a.k.a. The Conductor, would go on to rock the NFL with a disguised ferocity that even shocked his coaches and teammates. All smiles on the sidelines and off the football field, his smile transformed into a snarl when he put his hand on the turf and focused ahead.
And now his focus is leading a very young group of defensive linemen in 2024.
Why The Conductor was built to lead Rams’ defensive line
It may seem both odd and perhaps naive to expect the LA Rams defensive line to be led by NT/DT Kobie Turner in just his second NFL season, but who else can the team truly tap for that type of role in 2024? The team lost both All-Pro DT Aaron Donald and starting DE Jonah Williams, and the team’s most veteran remaining player Bobby Brown III, has been struggling with injuries and setbacks throughout his NFL career.”
Where Do Rams Rank In Terms Of Easiest Schedule In 2024? (si.com)
“After entering the season near the bottom of most NFL power rankings, the Rams surprised en route to 10 wins and a playoff appearance,” said Robinson. “Can they overtake the 49ers and win their first NFC West championship in three years?”
The Rams will face six playoff teams from the 2023 season. The good news is that they will face most of them at home, while only two of their formidable opponents will be away games, against the San Francisco 49ers and the Detroit Lions.
While that may be true, the NFL is a year-by-year league. Teams can go from first to last or last to first in the span of a season, and that could be the case with any of their opponents.”
