NFL training camp roster battles serve a two-fold purpose. First, they normally occur to fill an opening, whether it’s a vacancy or weak spot. Second, it serves to prepare and toughen young players and keep veterans from back-sliding into complacency.

The Rams roster building strategy is to stock impact positions with highly compensated stars and then fill the remaining roles with hot motors, high football IQs and versatile, competitive over achievers that are chosen for their fit into the schemes.
