Vince Young was forced on Fisher by the owner. Vince had ability but couldn't keep his shit together. I never thought Fisher gave it his all with Young since he didn't want him to begin with.

I take Wentz. 6'5, 235, Plus arm, great mobility, led his team to two straight FCS Championships, while begin a part of five straight championship teams.

The guy is a winner.

Plus I think, for lack of a better term, he's "small town" enough to not get over his head in LA.

I meant Chargers (hence my quote to Staylor).

My bad, yo.

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.

So if they've drafted well, what's the problem there?

BTW Does anyone still think Paxton Lynch is going to make it to 28? The first two quarterbacks will almost certainly be gone by the 3rd pick. Lynch always seemed like a pipe dream.

Chris Long has been injured for years. He's only started 11 games in the past two seasons. The guy is just beat up and worn out. The Rams didn't lose much of anything by releasing him.

They cut Laurinaitis because he's slowed down over the years. His numbers have really dropped off and he's 29 years old. I don't think it'll be much of a loss.

Uh, QB :D

Tennesee can use this opportunity to surround Mariota with a lot of high end talent to ensure his continued success...while also bolstering the defense.

If used correctly, that haul should set them up BIGTIME.

Titans have 6 picks in the top 76 and already have their qb. Good place to be.

The Franchise 04-14-2016 10:44 AM

If I'm the Titans.....I take one of those 2nd round picks and use my #15 to trade up into the top 10 to get Ronnie Stanley.

If I'm Wentz, I'm getting a place in Manhattan Beach and chillin'. If he wants to get out, he could ride a bike or Uber to Pier Avenue and have a drink now and then.

But he should definitely stay away from Hollywood or Beverly Hills.

Interesting to watch play out

Nothing really matters but the QB, though.

If they take Wentz or Goff and that guy is the next star NFL QB, then they could give up 5 years worth of 1st rounders and it's probably still a worthwhile deal.

The Redskins trade wasn't bad because they gave up so much, it was bad because RGIII sucked balls. RGIII controlled the narrative on that trade, not the guys the Rams drafted.

It'll be the same thing here; all that matters is how good their chosen QB is. If he's good, nobody's going to give a shit what the Titans did with their ammo. At worst, it'll be seen as a massive win/win for both squads. And if he sucks, well who gives a shit, the Rams weren't going to win much mired in mediocrity for the next 5 years anyway. Those picks made their team just good enough to not suck and thus not bad enough to ever dig out of the middle.

This is a nice time for a homerun swing from LA, IMO.

Do people in LA really give a shit about someone from the Bay Area? If it were UCLA or USC, I could see the "local" storyline but I doubt people in LA care about a QB from Berkley.

#Titans receive: 2016 15th - 43, 45, 76; 2017 1st Rd and 3rd Rd

Rams receive: No. 1, 113, 177.#blockbuster


Using my premise that the top 100 picks make most NFL team.

The Rams traded away 6 guys who would probably make the team for one guy?

Bad trade Stan
