The Rams are basically saying fuck the draft.

If they don't win it all this year they're going to be up shit's creek.

On one hand, Miller/Donald/Floyd could be unbelievably scary, on the other Miller is a UFA after this year, they more or less don't pick until the 4th next year, will be losing their best OL in Whitworth, and will have to pay Stafford 40+/year starting in 2023.

If they don't win it all before having to pay Stafford, after basically trading all of their top picks for the last 3 years, they're going to crater.

They really are.

That almost never works out.

Feels like an overpay also.

I always feel like I'm on an island in not liking these moves. Not saying there's never a place for them, but for the most part it seems like the "all-in" trades rarely work. They just feel great at the moment.

 

[Simpleton]

It makes sense from the perspective that they're going to be completely fucked unless they win it all before having to extend Stafford.

One thing you can't deny... the Rams are all in for this year. We will see if it pans out for them.

Not sure if Von Miller was going to be healthy enough to play against us this Sunday anyway, but good timing for us.

Throw in Reggie White who’s has the most sacks in history since he entered the league (1985) and you’ve got an equally irrelevant stat

Exactly.

It's like, if we signed Jerry Rice today, you could say, Wow, the Cowboys just added the career leader in every WR statistical category to Cooper and Lamb? They're going to be even more unstoppable.

But they wouldn't be signing that Jerry Rice. That guy doesn't exist today.

The Von Miller who put up those numbers doesn't exist today.

Probably still an 8 sack guy so he's still solid, but they didn't just trade for an all timer. He's not that guy anymore.

Smart trade by the Broncos. This ancillary stuff is nonsense.

Could be them loading up for a Watson trade.

Yeah it's a smart move despite the fear that the players will be upset by this.

 

[Cotton]

Eesh.
