2015 St. Louis Rams Updated Roster & Depth Chart

A brief look at the Rams' current 90-man offseason roster and depth chart, plus early projections for the final 53-man roster.

Jeff Curry-USA TODAY Sports

The Rams now have the full complement of players on their 90-man offseason roster. The roster is likely to undergo many additions and subtractions before the first cuts in August. Additional veteran help for the offensive line would be a welcome sight. There's little doubt the Rams' current roster is the deepest and most talented edition since the arrival of Jeff Fisher and Les Snead in 2012.

Ten Observations

The Rams will have 20 players eligible for Free Agency after the 2015 season. Among the more notable names: Nick Foles, Brian Quick, Benny Cunningham, William Hayes, Nick Fairley, Janoris Jenkins, Trumaine Johnson, Mark Barron, and Rodney McLeod. Luckily for the Rams, sound salary cap management will allow the team to re-sign most of their own Free Agents if they so desire.

The team remains one of the youngest in the NFL. With the departures of Scott Wells, Davin Joseph and Shaun Hill, the Rams have only three players remaining on the roster who have reached the age of 30: Chris Long, Jo-Lonn Dunbar and William Hayes (all 3 are 30 years old).

The Rams' roster includes 11 players selected in the first round of the NFL Draft, and 9 players selected in the second round. Of the 20 players, only 4 (Mark Barron, Akeem Ayers, Nick Fairley, and Kenny Britt) were not originally drafted by the Rams.

Only four players on the roster have received postseason honors to-date: Nick Foles, Aaron Donald, Robert Quinn and John Hekker.

Familiar names who won't make the final 53-man roster: QB Austin Davis, RB Trey Watts, CB Brandon McGee.

Eleven new faces appear on the projected roster: Nick Foles, Rob Havenstein, Andrew Donnal, Cody Wichmann, Jamon Brown, Garrett Reynolds, Todd Gurley, Sean Mannion, Louis Trinca-Pasat, Nick Fairley and Akeem Ayers.

The Rams' three best offseason additions: Nick Foles, Todd Gurley, Nick Fairley.

Worst offseason move? Not drafting OL La'el Collins in the 7th round of the 2015 NFL Draft. The Rams had sent Collins' agents an advisory text noting they would be selecting him if available with their last selection. The agents bluffed their way out of it, ensuring Collins became a UDFA.

Only 7 rookies make the final 53-man roster, the lowest single-season total in the Snead/Fisher era.

Training camp battles to watch: (Case Keenum - Austin Davis) (Isaiah Pead - Trey Watts) (Justice Cunningham - Alex Bayer) (Barrett Jones - Demetrius Rhaney - Tim Barnes) (Martin Ifedi - Louis Trinca-Pasat - Ethan Westbrooks) (Marcus Roberson - Brandon McGee).
