Lots of talk about Buckner in SD. A former scout just came on the radio (ourlads.com) and claimed that Tunsil isn't even the best LT in the draft and may not be the 1st LT taken.

I think Chargers go defense.

If the QB (presumably, Wentz) becomes a Top Ten QB, it's completely worth the trade.

The Rams needed to make a bold move, especially since they had an extra 2nd round pick this year due to the Bradford trade.

Rams insane trade will only be worth it if the QB they take leads them to to a ring. They must really think that is what will happen.

Agreed.

I think unlike the RG3 trade this one will turn out to be a win for both teams, instead of a loss for both.

It's going to be Goff. Local kid going to new LA team? Shit, the story writes itself.

By local you mean California....right?

Right

The RGIII trade worked ok for the rams, they've apparently built a good defense, but they're starting to lose some guys off it.

I dunno, I'm just not a fan of these deals. The Rams need to rebuild around said qb in 2 years when they have all their picks back

Dude any team that has Jeff Fisher as HC is screwed

Now I don't see where Lynch makes it out of the top 10 picks. I could see either the 49ers or the Eagles taking him for sure now.

It shouldn't have just been "ok". They should've gotten much more with that haul.

They just couldn't get the qb right. Plus the drafting was pretty rams esque so it was pretty meh all round for everyone I suppose.

Same with this, do we really expect Jeff fisher to develop this rookie qb?

And that's the exact problem for teams on the receiving end of "blockbuster" trades: More often than not, the team that traded up is the bigger beneficiary due to talent.

No one ever mentions what the Giants gave up to acquire Eli Manning because they've won 2 Super Bowls. The Chargers received Rivers, Merriman and more and haven't won dick.

Washington's been in the playoffs twice and won the division last years: The Rams haven't had a winning season.

I'm not a Fisher fan but he certainly did well with a young Steve McNair.

That's just a ton of value and cheap players the Rams gave up. The qb they take is gonna have to be pretty good to make up for that and as we've seen, even a guy like rodgers can't carry a roster that far.

Interesting to watch play out
