Also interesting that they'd give up on McCarthy so quickly.

Maybe Murray is just a bridge QB at this point. I also think the Vikings realize they are opposite of us right now. They see a window with a great defense and just need a competent offense. So their thought process is probably we just need someone that can help us get to mediocre on that side of the ball.
 
 
I think it's great for the Rams. You get an All-Pro corner for basically the 29th pick in the draft? The rest doesn't mean that much to me for a player that good.

Problem is, you have to pay him, but I guess they're prepared to do that. I doubt they'd give that much for just one year.

Might be a slight overpay but the Rams are going for it right now, as they should, so I get it.

The big risk is that Stafford could turn into a pumpkin at any moment given his age.

I'm not giving up a 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 6th for a corner with 3 career INTs over 4 years. If I give up that much I want someone a lot closer to a difference maker.

The Rams have never put a premium on draft picks. This has always sort of been their way.

Yeah I don't think this is technically a good trade on their end, but they've done this before and won a super bowl so I'm not going to be too harsh on this.

No kidding. They've traded their first rounder nine times in the last ten years.

And I mean I get it from the perspective if you're going all in. McDuffie is going to give you more in the short run than a corner you draft at 29. But it's definitely an all in strategy.

But, then what? Trading your first round pick every year for almost a decade isn't sustainable. Yes, they did win one SB, which I am envious of, but the devil is going to come knocking at some point. Hell, the Cowboys have a better record over the last 10 years than the Rams do. But, again, I am jealous of that one SB win.

You can get away with it if you kill it on Day 2 and 3. We should try that sometime.

I mean I don't want to do that strategy. But that's because I love drafting. There are elite players in every draft. You just have to find them. And I'd rather have the 22 year old stud for the next decade as opposed to a great player for a few years.

But that's probably an over confidence in drafting ability. But I do think NFL teams make drafting harder than it should be.

But they've been one of the better teams in the conference for years now.

And when they do have to rebuild, they'll probably be like Philly and build back a whole new team better than ours in a couple of years (allegedly).
