Well if Goff ends up in the hof ill buy you a drink.

Yeah, I'll sorry about that in about 15 or 20 years from now lol

I don't remember trading up to #1 that year? and if we did I doubt it was so many picks.

#6 overall, 3rd rounder, 4th rounder and seventh rounder to move up to pick Pace

Hey Shops, did you see what spot we traded up from?

Umm, #6 lol?

Umm, #6 lol?

Duh, I skimmed right over that ...

So to move up 5 spots, they gave up a high first rounder (#6); a high (I'll guess) 3rd (#70) and 4th (#106) and a 7th?

Sounds about right.

It's a little light compared to the deals these days, but it wasn't the strongest of drafts. First QB taken was Drunkenmiller lol (only solid QB taken was Plummer). Tony G, Dunn, Dillon, and Barber were the offensive skill position stand-outs.

ill say this also. Trading up for a tackle is way less risky then moving up for a QB. Especially one that wasn't rated that high.

Goff was the #1 ranked QB by many sites, including CBS. 5th overall behind Tunsil, Ramsey, Bosa, and Jack.

Sorry but highly rated tackles can also be very risky, there's no real guarantee with any one? That's why I wouldnt move up, the only exception might be a lights out tall,fast, big hands receiver, you can't teach that!

I get that but it was considered a down year at the QB position from recent years. That's why the trade up seemed so risky. It wasn't like he was an Andrew Luck prospect or even close.

I would say Tackles are still the safest bet. WR'S tend to get in off the field trouble a lot. Blackman, Gordon, etc. you don't see WR's go #1 to often.

Carson Wentz seems to be quite the wunderkind thus far...

Maybe these pundits who want to claim anything is a "down year" don't know that much. They are the same guys choking on their predictions that Wentz would need to sit for at least a year.

No team has ever traded up to #1 from as far as #12. If anything, the Rams got a very good deal on that trade.

You can honestly say that considering the Rams recent issues drafting OTs early?

you got me there but I was talking nfl in general its usually a QB or OT that goes #1 and you can say that pretty much with all of the Rams offensive picks lately except TG. So you can see why I have my doubts with Fisher drafting offense.
