Rams Acquire #1 Pick

[Retroram52]

You watch. These dumbasses will now trade Keenum and Foles or both for 5-7 rounders and then piss those away on mediocre players. We have serious holes to complete. These jerk-offs are going after sensation as their draft day legacy. Giving away the farm for a QB that is not going to do squat his first year except get Bulgerized!

What the hell, we haven't had a winning season in thirteen years, we have a risk some time.

Absolutely right!

Being safe and trading down and picking BPA has given this team some pretty good young talent. Snead has drafted fairly well, a few mistakes for sure, but not horrible.(Mannion pick was horrible) QB play has been the one thing, above ALL other things, that has contributed to the mediocrity of the Rams. Not being able to get 1st downs and having many possessions end without points and/or without taking time off the clock has hung the defense of this team out to dry. Last year was all about getting the O-Line in place. It's time to add that QB. Even if it means that 2016 is a lost year. You must have a QB in this league. Take a damn chance and go get one. That's all I can ask for.

 

[Retroram52]

2016 is not the only year that will be lost. We gave away our first and third in 2017.

 

[Battlelyon]

True, but a third we will get back by losing Jenkins.

Good read on why more picks = higher chance of getting a good plate.

Barnwell: Successful drafting? It's all about volume

 

[Retroram52]

Compensatory picks are usually added at the end of the round.

 

[Raminator]

He and Snead have just made the Titans a superbowl contender for the next decade because the two, number ones, number twos, and number threes, the Titans will use properly to stock their team with talent.

That's what we thought about the Rams after the Redskins trades.

Simple, common sense RamsFan yet these dumb and blind jerks are literally destroying a franchise they believe they are "developing".

 

[Battlelyon]

Nothing a sure thing, our last two first rounders have been home runs, maybe in some way they get lucky and Wentz pans out.

 

[Retroram52]

That's what we thought about the Rams after the Redskins trades.

There is one difference you are forgetting Raminator: The Rams FO compared to the Titans FO.

 

[Raminator]

So True, So True

NFL Live is now stating that the Rams got the worst of this trade. Duh!

 

[shopson67]

This trade is horrible.

It makes no sense. Both of the QB's have huge question marks whether they can even succeed in the NFL on a good team, let alone on a team with a young Oline and 1 decent WR.

And you just traded away basically all your draft capital to get this young QB any help.

Do they not remember what happened when the Saints did basically the same thing for Ricky Williams?

After ending last night on such a high with Kobe's epic last game, this sure is a huge letdown.

I don't know that everyone shares your doubt about these QBs.

If you want your QB, you have to go and get him. With the Rams stuck at 7-9 every year, they are never going to be in reach of getting a top QB without a trade like this. If they are confident in their target (whether that is Wentz or Goff, although I favor Wentz), might was well be sooner than later. Get him in and adjusted, adding receiver talent when possible. Get it all done and firing on all cylinders by the time that new stadium opens.

ESPN is now saying the Rams are leaning towards Goff...

 

[shopson67]

Ikr! Usually when you give up the farm to move up you know who the team is going to pick.... we really have no clue. It's insane. One of the QB's would have almost certainly fell to six. Then you could've traded up with the ravens and probably just gave away two second round picks vs the next 2 years ugh.

Rams don't just need A QB, they need THEIR QB. The only way to make sure you get the one out of the 2 that you want is to trade up above any other QB needy teams. Cleveland is at #2.

The Rams know who they are going to pick, they just haven't publicized it yet.

 

[shopson67]

Rams aren't leaning in any direction; they have their man. They just aren't announcing it yet, so people are guessing.

 

[Retroram52]

Orlando Pace just tweeted that the Rams should focus on football and not fashion. ESPN is stating that the Rams did this trade largely for sensation (to make a splash) to fill seats in a town that lives on sensation.

 

[shopson67]

I don't mean to rub salt in your wounds Rams fans, but the Rams probably could've traded a single 2nd round pick this year and a pick next year to the Packers for Brett Hundley - the UCLA product that was drafted by the Packers in the 5th round last year. Hundley had the highest QB Rating of EVERY QB in the NFL in the preseason last year as a rookie and has already completed a year in the pros - learning under AARON RODGERS. His total cap hit is only $0.58M, too.

2 picks for a guy the Rams passed on last year? Not going to happen. He's your problem.

They need to trade one of them for sure, ideally Foles.

Didn't we learn anything from the Washington fuck up? Hell Fisher even rubbed it in their faces by sending all involved in the RG3 trade out to do the coin flip!
