True, but there are more options than trading up or waiting 'til the third. I'd look at examples like Pittsburgh and Green Bay or even Oakland(recently). With the first two examples, it was very beneficial for those young QB's to actually go to better teams and not have the pressure and demand of being taken high in the draft or at a high cost to the team in a trade.That's kind of my point. They were EXTREMELY lucky. That kind of luck on a QB taken later doesn't happen very often which is why I don't expect it to happen to us. If people are expecting us to find our franchise QB in the draft outside of the top few picks, they'd better break out their luckiest charm and pray to baby Jesus because the odds are very low of it happening. This is why I've been so torn about our wins this year. I want the Rams to win but know that with each one, it becomes harder to find a solution at QB. I'm sure I'll get blasted for that but I that's just how I see it.
If the Rams have a guy fall to them that they really like, then they should draft him. But trading up or taking a QB because they "have" to will be mistakes IMO.
