Washington's been in the playoffs twice and won the division last years: The Rams haven't had a winning season.
That's exactly why the Rams just traded up. They know they can't do dick with all of those picks.....so they figured they had a better chance of making the right call with just one.

i can easily see some qb needy teams who miss on wentz/goff trying to trade back a bit in the 1st, grab an extra pick or two, and then target lynch, or even cook towards the back end of 1st.

49ers or eagles, maybe jets or bills, or broncos, seize the opportunity to move up a few if they get antsy.

the fact that Jeff Fisher is still there to lead them to mediocrity blows my mind

Loom at this situations though. The talent the skins moved up for, flamed out and the Giants didn't win superbowls until they built a defensive line.

The Chargers haven't win a superbowl with rivers, but they've been pretty successful

That is a pretty rosy assessment of what's happened in DC since the RG3 trade.

Because there wasn't a bunch of QBs at the top of the draft.....

In the end, if you can't draft well, it doesn't matter either way.

Uhh, yeah no shit.

So if you're the Rams.....do you take Wentz or Goff?

But floundered with Vince Young.

Interesting to watch play out
If they can get over the 7-9 hump, the trade will be well worth it.

While I believe that the draft is an important component to building a roster, the Rams have been drafting well since Snead & Fisher took over and all it's gotten them is 7-9.

That was because Vince Young sucked

Losing Long and Laurinaitis will hurt their defense some.
