The 2018 NFL Scouting Combine is fully underway. Los Angeles Rams Head Coach Sean McVay spoke to the media not long ago. I’ll have the transcript up when it’s made available.

A couple of highlights:
Asked about Marcus Peters' deal at the combine, Rams coach Sean McVay declines until the deal goes through next month, joking “You’re trying to get me in trouble right now.”

McVay says he’s excited to improve in his second year: “You can improve, being more organized…a better play caller.” @CVRamsClub

McVay calls Matt Lafleur "instrumental" in the offense’s success last year, but says Shane Waldron and Zac Taylor are ready to step forward as coaches on the staff.

Asked about offensive weapons Josh Reynolds and Gerald Everett, McVay calls them “two guys that you’re excited about” entering their second seasons.

McVay told reporters at the combine that re-signing DB Lamarcus Joyner is "a huge priority." He is priority No. 1 among pending free agents, it seems. My sense on him is they want to get a long-term deal done, but will use the franchise tag on him if they need to.

McVay also said, on 710, that Rams would look at adding depth on the offensive line in the draft. He specifically mentioned interior linemen. (editorial note: I think they'll grab a center.)
