I would sure as hell hope so. Guys on the radio this morning were saying Jeff Fischer and the Rams GM were probably curled up in the fetal position under their desks in shock after learning of this trade.

I really hope they just stay put and draft Ezekiel Elliot so he gets nowhere near the Raiders.

Common sense? What?

Bradford's never won anything and he's injury prone. It's unlikely that the Eagles will be drafting in the Top Ten anytime soon so it makes sense for them to get their Franchise QB this year.

The owner, GM and head coach have all met and dined with the three top QB's in this draft and they clearly want either Wentz or Goff.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Rams wanted two weeks to "debate" Cal QB Jared Goff and North Dakota State QB Carson Wentz.

The Rams are absurdly leaking that they've yet to make up their mind at No. 1 overall, but there's zero chance they would have mortgaged their future for a decision where they weren't already certain. They simply don't want people to know yet. Schefter reports they're "leaning toward" Goff, but other reports say it's Wentz. If the Rams actually don't know who they're taking, then they just made the worst trade in NFL history.

SF has got to be on the phone with Cleveland right now. 12 picks will help them move up for Wentz.

You'd think.

What a dumbass GM. If the top of your draft board isn't finalized 2 weeks before the draft, you have a terrible regime.

The 49ers roster is in such bad shape that if they do anything in this draft, it should be to trade back and pick up extra selections.

Fixed that for yah.

They know who they want. They don't want the 49ers to know who they want.

It's the smart thing to do.

By not releasing the name of the QB they covet, they may force the 49ers into giving up picks and weakening their roster for a QB that may not even fit their system.

+1

Lol exactly.

Its not going to happen

You know nothing

Smart thing and rams isn't really synonymous though.

Cleveland should trade that pick... they have a horrible history of picking that high, at most positions. Just roll with RGIII for at least this next season, trade out of #2 and add another 2-3 picks this year (they already have 10) and spread that shit around the roster.

If they can't trade out.....they should take Ramsey.

Dude, it's so obvious that's what they're doing.

Nobody is that dumb.

So what we are going to do is trade our future away without and plan, then leak things because we realized we didn't have a plan

Browns have 10 picks... 49ers have 12 picks.

49ers could move from 7 to 2 fairly easily, one would think.

R2 has the trade chart value of 2600 points.

R1P7 is worth 1,500.
R3P5 is worth 245 - gets you within 1,000 points.

Package a 2017 R1 or a R4/R5 this year and a R3 next year... they have all sorts of options.

Browns move down 5 spots, still get a hell of a player and they can add 2-3 picks this year. Why not?

I'd hope it's what they're doing, but they are the Rams. I wouldn't be surprised at anything

The evaluating process is just about over. There's no way they're still unsure which QB they have #1.

Bradford counts for $12.5M this year and $22.5 next if he is on the roster but he was guaranteed $22M in the contract. Daniel counts for $5M this year and $8 next with a total guaranteed over the next 2 seasons of $9M. I am sure they want to invest another $25M +/- guaranteed into the QB position. They would only have $44M guaranteed into the QB position for the next 2 season.

Les Snead has kicked in terms of the draft and personnel, outside of QB.

Jeff Fisher has been, well, Jeff Fisher.

If they draft a QB, Bradford won't be with them next year.

If they move up, the Eagles won't be paying out an additional $25 million this season for the #2 overall pick.

Now that I think about it, I think it's going to be Wentz.

has to be right?

There's no doubt it's Wentz

The cap hit for the 2nd overall pick is around $4.5-5.5 million each for the first two years. Bradford would play out his contract this year and then be cut the year after. Daniel would be an expensive backup....but who gives a shit? Your starting QB is cheap.

Having watched a ton of NDSU games, I really don't think Wentz is the right QB for this kind of trade up.

I think the Rams will **** this up.

No but they will be paying an average of $6.5M for those 2 years to the drafted QB that is guaranteed the $9M guaranteed to Daniel and the $22M guaranteed to Bradford. That comes to a total of $44M guaranteed to the QB position over the next 2 years.

The original report said Wentz, then all this Goff shit came out, now it's they don't know which one?

Yea I'm going to assume the first report was probably right, and the second was there to **** with the 49ers.

Benjamin Albright supposedly has a good track record calling shit with the Rams.

Last years #2 overall QB was just over $6M guaranteed according to OTC.

You think he will Wentz in his pants?

This makes zero sense.

First, the Rams can cut Bradford Post June 1 this year with zero cap savings and a $12 million dollar cap charge. Or, they can cut him at the end of the 2016 season and get a $9 million dollar cap charge and $12 million in savings.

Either way, Bradford won't be an Eagle next year if they draft a QB.

As Pest pointed out, the cap charge for the #2 overall pick would be about $4.5-$5 million this year, so even IF they have all three on the roster this season, an extra $5 million in the QBOTF is nothing.

$22 million for a starting QB is the going rate and the Eagles would have the much tied up in three QB's, not one.

In this scenario, Bradford won't be there next year so that number will drop considerably in 2017.

And according to OTC Pestilence is wrong. Last season Mariota got $6M average. It will go up this year.

No it won't because I didn't include base salaries. Just guaranteed money.

I'd laugh if they end up picking Ramsey or Bosa and say Mannion is the QB of the future. LMAO

I though snead had drafted well, then I looked at some of their picks. It's been good, but not what I thought. Their offense is bad.

<iframe src="http://overthecap.com/contract-embed/3850/" width="600" height="343" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>

Of course the stench of the Robinson pick is still the de so I maybe overreacting a little

Mariota Year 1

Base Salary (Guaranteed) - $435k
Prorated Bonus - $3.967 million
Cap Number - $4.4 million

Where are you getting $6 million?

He's only really missed on Pead and Quick.

Also, he's been awesome signing UDFAs. McLeod, Hekker are the two that stand out but guys like Marquez and Harkey have been solid in their roles.

I don't know how to screen shot shit but if you look at the QB position on OTC it shows that Mariotta got an avg. of $6M.

Show me $6 million.

You are being exact. Which is cool and better. I was using avg since we don't know the exact amount this years QBs will get. I was getting the $6M avg for Mariota under the entire list of QB by position there on OTC.

Dallas has to be loving this. Ramsey would be nice for them

Snead drafted the 2014 Rookie Defensive Player of the Year in Aaron Donald and the 2015 Rookie Offensive Player of the Year in Todd Gurley.

He's drafted really well and they're literally a QB away from competing not only for the division but for the Super Bowl.

They went 7-9 with the 32nd ranked pass offense and the #29 overall offense. If things work out, they'll be humming by 2019 when they move into the new stadium.

I think I believe this.

Stating the "Average" for each year is inaccurate when discussing the #2 overall's salary cap impact in year one.

This is definitely wrong.

Yep. They're forcing the 49er's hand.

Funny how nobody in the media has seen this angle (at least from what I saw).

It's really obvious and a smart move.

They do. They know exactly who they are taking.


Im pretty sure it's wentz, but they won't tell me definitively. Pretty sure it's gonna come out before the draft but the nfl wants them to wait till the draft to announce.

The gm MADE the trade.

An offense that bad is more than a qb away.

They have 1 wr and no one at TE and gurley. They need to move their qb along slowly, that's for sure.

Plus they're coached by fisher.

I'm sure they'll add more talent by the time the new stadium is opened and I would be absolutely shocked if Jeff Fisher is their coach in 2019.

This was a hell of a deal for TN considering they are happy with their QB from last year. Titans now have six picks in the top 76 in this year’s draft – 15, 33, 43, 45, 64 and 76... 9 picks overall. But, damn - 6 in the first 3 rounds is stellar (4 in the first 44).

One would think. Hopefully they can keep the defense together as well.

If it is in fact Wentz, they should sit him for a year to learn

If they were wise, they'd turn a couple of those picks into 2017 selections.

He's not going to be. I think the only thing that would keep him past this year would be a super bowl.

I also think they are pretty sure of who they want to be the next coach

And ftr this deal has been done basically since night before last.


Crazy that no one knew.

Harbaugh.

Jim Harbaugh.

He'd own LA and the 49ers.

Why?

Why not? Belichick did it for years in NE and Robinson is a protege.

But to further that, what they should do is bundle up a few of those picks and get at least another first rounder.

Their secondary is a mess, as is their WR corp. They have the ammo to get a couple of top tier secondary players while filling out their D line with a second and third rounder.

Their biggest obstacle is Mike Mularkey. Good grief, what an awful head coach.

They said some dude's name in addition to Fisher, it must have been someone other than the GM (obviously). I thought the visual of them curled up in the dark under their desks was pretty amusing...

They've got some good young wrs they just drafted. They need to load up the ol aND defense.

Getting back into the forst would be a good idea

Belichick did it for years and what awesome players does he have to show for it?

I'm not saying that he made the right decisions with those trades but the idea is sound.

One thing about having that many picks in ine draft is that they're all hitting free agency at the same time.

But more picks is more darts to throw at the board

That's true, as is having five extra players, making the rookie draft class at least 12.

By moving one or two forward, they can continue that practice for a few years and fill out the roster accordingly.

Well, you use all those picks and and players (as they become 2nd/3rd year players) for trade bait. You have all sorts of flexibility to resign guys early, etc. It's all about options. And, hell, they only have 9 this year... not the most in the league.

Didn't a St. Louis coach do that...nm.

If they were it's because they probably realize their time is coming lol
