What? You didn't like the Robinson Quick and Givens picks?

To be fair to Givens, he had a decent rookie year, and he was a fourth-round pick. He was okay. Not special, but okay for where we got him.

Robinson and Quick on the other hand? Bleh.

Yeah but I didn't want him when he was picked so there is that.

I didn't want John Johnson III when he was picked. He still managed to change my mind.

Chris Givens was actually an okay fourth-round pick. Most fourth-round picks don't do shit in the pros (see Mardy Gilyard, as much as I like the guy as a person, was not a good pro player; hell, the wide receiver we just picked up for our practice squad who's been bouncing around, Tyler Scott, was a late fourth for the Bears) or don't even have the year Givens had as a rookie.
 
I would like the Rams to pick the best LT prospect with one of the first round picks. I like Jackson but his availability is held hostage by this blood clot problem. The truth is, doctors could shut him down permanently for his health, at any time.
McVay likes veterans, which makes me think he'd trade draft capital for the right veteran after Stafford rides away to retirement. He'd also do it for the right dominant CB.

Unless the Rams trade up for a QB they believe is the future.... I really can see them using one of the firsts and then trading back with the other.. who knows.. maybe parlay one of the firsts into another first rounder in 27 if you think Stafford has one more good year and if you don't think there's a QB who's worth it.

Yeah but I am usually correct in my assessments.

Still can't get over Bradford's arm, how accurate that deep ball was. Really had all of the talent to succeed, but the injuries got him.

But yeah, Givens was a good player in his rookie year. Honestly, Stedman would've been fucking incredible in McVay's system, and S-Jax would've been a first ballot HOFer.

It always makes me sad to see players that do well and play their fucking hearts out on bad teams get wasted or seeing them just be coached in a terrible system. Not just because they deserve better, but because we as fans deserve to see players at their best so we can truly see who deserves a Super Bowl.
 
If Stafford is playing again, do the Rams again swap for a future #1?

The Rams have to be prepared for his retirement. They also need to have him play as long as possible.
If the Rams aren't going QB in round 1, I can see a trade down with the Atlanta pick to get a later 1st and a future #1. It all depends on how high that pick ends up being.

For example, if the pick was #12, that equates to #21 + future 1st if a team is looking to move up for a blue chip difference maker.
 
I would have been okay with a lesser pick if they had beaten the whiners.

That feels like the ceiling to me.

B. Robinson got shut down last week.He is the 1 player helps keep them a float.
The QB issue is going to hurt them & they’ll probably regress ?
-Z.Robinson is going to have his hands full try to call there offense.
 
The Ramsey example leans into my point. Notice the way they tend to get CBs? Trades, the occasional free agent, and mid to late round draft picks.

I find it telling that in 9 years, they've had 24 1st to 3rd round picks, they havent used one 1st or 2nd round pick on the position, and only one 3rd has been used on a CB.
The Rams really paid up to keep Tru Johnson because they didn’t draft any CB’s really since Les Snead’s rookie year as GM.They got a nice COMP Pick for him though.

Then traded for Marcus Peters from KC(2nd & 4th)

2018 still traded AQib Talib who was the perfect VET to help mentor
Peter’s.

That year Les Snead made an excellent in season trade to get Dante Fowler.

IMO - the in season trades over the years has been a Les Snead special.
Von Miller trade & signing of OBJ helped out The Rams over the Top.
Of course Eric Weedle will be in the HOF,because of what he did to help The Rams out of retirement.

Of course Mark Barron is another example.The drafting of Cobie Durant has worked out.Kendrick starting with Ramsey though was wishful thinking by McSnead.

Ahkello Whiterspoon has meant a lot The Rams.He imo has meant a lot to The Rams.They messed up not signing him as a FA in 2024 until the season was a mistake.I still BELIEVE he will comeback in 2025 & will make a positive impact
to help the defense.
Roger McCreary was an excellent trade especially if the above is or isn’t true.His CB play is just what The Rams have needed.His Highlight Tapes shows his Tackling Skills & his underneath coverage in the MIDDLE!!
Omar Speights is SLOW getting into the flat,but examples of Manuel last week getting balled up Like a Pretzel.Plus when Ahkello got hurt.Durant is small,plus Williams just got his shoulder hurt.
The depth a CB is young.Josh Wallace is still finding himself.Jaylen looks slower than in 2024.
This TRADE made to much sense to help fill that VOID!! In the Miners Game The Rams got exposed on the quick drop back passes underneath.
