For the rams at this point it makes sense though I guess. Also gotta think once said qb really hits his stride and is ready to go, it'll be time to pay him and that's when they'll be getting picks back and loaded. I'm just not a fan of ever trading up that much. Just my preference. |

Yeah, I mean, they had to fear the Chargers fan base, right ?

And as I mentioned earlier, look at the division: The 49ers don't have a QB and the Rams just jumped them in order to get the best guy in the draft. The Cards are hanging on by a string with a 36 year old Carson Palmer and at #31, there's no chance they get a blue chip QB. Also, the Rams defense has gotten the better of the Seahawks in the past few seasons, which puts the Rams in a position to be the best team in the division for years to come if Wentz is who they think he is. |

Again, I'm all for building a team in the draft but without the QB, it becomes a negative return at some point, which the Rams have reached, IMO. |

If the Chiefs were a perpetual 7-9 team without a Franchise QB, who here wouldn't give up Dee Ford, Philip Gaines and De'Anthony Thomas (2014 picks) along with Marcus Peters, Mitch Morse and Chris Conley (2015) for a Franchise QB?
I'd do it in a heartbeat. |

Sure, we'd all love to get HoFers in the 5th round but that doesn't really happen. Everything in this league comes at some sacrifice and the Rams have chosen to make theirs to give themselves their best shot at securing the thing that has held them back since Warner left. "Making things harder" isn't really an argument I buy - this league is hard to win in, period. This doesn't make it harder at all if Wentz/Goff turns out the be the force multiplier at QB that the Rams think he'll be. And if he isn't, they just blow it up and start over, which is probably easier than trying to slowly drag yourself out of the middle of the pack.

I don't know why you'd give up that much for those QB prospects, and with as much as they gave up, they're going to play the guy immediately. Neither one is ready.

They'll be a team similar to the Chiefs and last year's Broncos: Conservative QB play with a strong running game and defense. Keep in mind, the Rams had the #32 passing game and #29 overall offense and still went 7-9. They needed to make this move. |
