Must of thinking of another team, Rams are good in the draft, don't even need a 1st

Not even a first. I'm cool with that. Looking forward to the season to start....I hope it starts on schedule.

Very good trade for the Rams, damn. O'brien must be drinking those delivery margs here in Texas.

His drop in the endzone of the Super Bowl too

Plus many others.

IMO he's just not reliable. Makes a great catch and drops an easy one. He also doesn't seem to track the ball very well. Many a times there would be an under thrown ball and he'd still be running. By the time he looked to find the ball he had 5 yards to make up and the DB/safety was going the other way with it.

It's early, give it time.

Chip Kelly: You know, I was the worst coach-GM ever. Traded Lesean McCoy, cut Desean Jackson

Bill O'Brien: Hold my delivery margarita

Not even sure how the Rams get the cap space to pay for the draft. Going to have to get Goff or Donald to restructure there contracts. Most likely cost them down the road. Failing to get those players to restructure they are screwed.

Actually she does....

Taxes too.

It's called the Philly Model. Just keep kicking the can down the road. Go from contender to pretender in less than 12 months.

I'm thinking the only reason the Rams didn't get a 1st is because buttchin already gave up all his 1st's last year. I half expect Belichick to fleece O'Brien out of Watson for a practice squad RB and a bag of deflated footballs.

I'm swimming against the tide here, but IDK that what O'Brien did was so stupid. They are paying Cook 8 million. Lets see other wide receivers making that kind of money.

Only a couple have resumes that come close to Cooks. His stats last 6 years.

Up until last year when injuries derailed him, he was a regular 1000 yard WR. With different QBs, different offenses, different teams. He was really solid. The risk is injuries of course, but if he avoids them he's going to be a steal of a deal. Second round pick is stiff, but draft picks are a crap shoot. Especially WRs.
The real idiots in this trade are the Rams and it's not even close. If Cook blows the Texans can drop him with no cap hit, if he hits they can keep him on the cheap.

That would entail a three team trade. Tampa Bay now owns the rights to the deflated footballs.

If we can't make that work how about that PS RB and some old sideline tape?

His contract isnt an issue but giving up a 2nd and 4th for guy on his last mile when you could get a young talented WR in the 2nd on a rookie contract

His contract isn't bad for who? I hope you're saying not bad for Houston? I think most on here agree even with his flaws this was a good deal for Houston. Rams sitting on a HUGE dead cap hit.

This fleecing is why they're affectionately referred to as the Lambs.

Texans are in trouble. They have a very old possession receiver. And pretty much everyone else on the roster just runs deep routes. No one’s running any really good routes for Watson. I feel really bad for him. Texans are going to be horrible.

You got that wrong, they got a fourth and gave a second. Cook is only 26, so not exactly on his last legs. Personally feel rookie WRs often bust, I could easily make a long list. Not a single rookie WR went for a 1000 yards last season. It's a gamble for the Texans, but could pay off nicely.
