Jalen Ramsey being traded to the Rams

[ATL96Steeler]

Yes Jalen is much better than Peters. I don’t think the best CB in football is in the next 2 drafts at picks 15-25. Or a top LT for that matter.

Okay...you say much better I say a little better...we agree that he's better, and I'm willing to give up one 1st rounder + but you don't think the Rams can find a starting caliber player in the 2121 draft in the 1st round? Couple that with the contract it's going to take to retain Ramsey long term...I just don't see the value in it.

 

[Battlelyon]

I see this as a fleecing.

I see the reality of most 1st rounders after pick 10 don't pan out

Any other All Pros looking to leave, come on down, we'll take you.

Substance > Potential

Lockdown corner in the draft? No

Starter? I’d say 60-40 but Peters is a starter. He’s nowhere near a lockdown CB or the best in the game

 

[redseat]

Sure, as long as he gets respected. That sideline argument with Marrone was the problem in Jax, they were willing to pay him.

It's LA, you mess up once good bye respect

We know he's better than Peters, and I'm willing to say he's the best CB in the game. My question is this.....what more can you expect from Ramsey?

In other words, going from a good CB, to the best CB in the game does what for the DEF?

I ask this because most teams are just going to attack the other CBs, if Ramsey is shutting down their WR1.

Today is basically:

A+ Ravens
A+ Jaguars
F Rams

Guess the 49ers and Seahawks are back to representing the NFC West for the foreseeable future. Didn't take long for the Rams to implode.

They got greedy.

 

[SeattleCoug]

Sounds great.

We make the FG, you lose at home.

But you didnt and you lost

If the Hawks make a FG, it doesnt come down to a FG at the end.

The what if game is silly

 

[Godstree]

You have to pay for game-changing players.

Agreed and the rams paid a much heavier price than they should have

 

[SeattleCoug]

They're be basically second rounders

Not looking like it so far

 

[SeattleCoug]

Have you seen the rest of our schedule, chumps like the Bengals, Cowboys, Bears, Falcons, Steelers, Cards, and Ravens

You lost to Tampa at home. Tough to predict anything that far in advance

Looks like 3-4

 

[SeattleCoug]

Jags should have never traded him.

Just a bad look for the league. Players going to think they can do this all the time now

Yea players are using whatever leverage they can and its working in some cases. The Hawks benefited with Clowney before the year. Will be interesting if that changes the next few years

Ever heard of Revis island?

I was responding to someone saying the division is the Hawks or 9ers now for years. Obviously we were pretty close to beating you at home so it’s not like we are that far off.

Goodness there are 10 more weeks this year. Anything can happen

 

[ATL96Steeler]

Ever heard of Revis island?

Vaguely....lol.

Sure, I know about NE and the stacked defensive backfield got a ring there largely because SEA failed to use their best player on the goal line....but he got the ring nonetheless.

What did the Jets win with a Revis for nearly a decade? TB?

No question you need good CBs, but you need more than just one great CB. Just to be clear, the problem is not Ramsey, the problem is the cost for them to acquire Ramsey. The draft picks, and the cap heavy contract that's coming makes you think the Rams are a CB away from winning the SB.

If that happens, you can look at this trade and say yes it was worth it.

 

[DHoey]

I'm glad the Hawks didn't make that deal. Good luck to the Rams.

Agree there unless you ask a certain Niners poster
