The offseason is here for the Los Angeles Rams and now that we know where they'll be playing their home games for the long term, things have settled down enough to spend our weekends answering a few of your Twitter questions.

As always, you can find me on Twitter @nwagoner and fire away with any Rams-related questions you might have. Please use hashtag #RamsMail so I can see them.

On to your questions.

@nwagoner what player do the Rams need to step up most in 2016 with their recent free agent departures? #RamsMail — Aaron McCall (@STLPhenom) April 1, 2016

@nwagoner What do you think of the Rams getting Roberto Aguayo in round 3? #RamsMail — Nicholas Gabert (@gabert_nicholas) April 1, 2016

Well, based on the way the question was phrased, I'm going to go with cornerback E.J. Gaines with an honorable mention for safety Maurice Alexander based on what's currently on the roster. Obviously, if you asked who would help the team most by having a big season, the answer would be quarterback Case Keenum (or whoever starts at quarterback). But looking at it in terms of who has to step up based on free-agent departures, the answer seems to be in the secondary. The Rams let Janoris Jenkins leave and in doing so, created a trickle-down effect. How does Trumaine Johnson handle taking over the No. 1 corner job? How does Gaines come back from injury, and can he hold off Coty Sensabaugh to retain the starting job opposite Johnson? The secondary seemed to play better, most consistent football last year but now there's a lot of change there. Coach Jeff Fisher said at the owners meetings that Alexander could potentially play free safety. They also have Cody Davis Christian Bryant and Lamarcus Joyner . If any of those guys emerged as a capable starter at safety, it would be beneficial for the defense. But we'll go with Gaines here. He played very well as a rookie and has proved able to handle the job. We just don't know how he'll bounce back from injury and a year away from the game. The Rams will likely draft a corner at some point, as well, so if not Gaines, it could be Sensabaugh or a drafted corner that's the answer to your question. I'd also throw in that Alec Ogletree has a very tough job to step into as well. He's really talented but will have a lot more to handle from the mental standpoint in the middle.It's not often you see a kicker leave early for the NFL draft, but that's exactly what Aguayo did this year. Aguayo is the most accurate kicker in NCAA history, making 97 percent of his kicks (field goals and extra points combined) in his three seasons. And to your point, there's a really good chance Aguayo will go somewhere in the first three rounds. Does he make sense for the Rams? Absolutely. The Rams have said they'd like to bring Greg Zuerlein back, but so far it hasn't happened and even if it does, they also want to bring in competition for him. One of the issues with Zuerlein has been his accuracy, something Aguayo certainly doesn't lack. So it makes sense from a fit and need standpoint. The question for the Rams is the value. The Rams' roster isn't exactly loaded. There are plenty of needs at other, perhaps more important positions. But the argument can be made that a top-tier kicker would be worth a third-round pick. After all, the Rams were a few missed field goals last season from finally having a winning season. So when draft time arrives, if Aguayo is on the board, the Rams would be wise to take a look and see how much of a difference he could make compared to players at another position.
