Probably banking on free agents wanting to come sign and play in Los Angeles because that is ton of picks to give up.
The Rams have a lot of great, young talent but with this trade you're giving up so much potential depth.
Better hope Wentz is a franchise QB for what the Rams are giving up.
Titans going to rebuild mode they can turn things around quick.
They just might, if Chip is allowed to handle the trade negotiations for the Niners.
Cut Denver out and get picks and pro bowl Tyrod Taylor.
Yeah that's pretty much my nightmare, rounded out with Jack going at 5.

This is just odd because the Rams have won on so many trades and other deals in the past several years. I don't think a team has fucked over other teams as much as the Rams have been able to do.
They've been kinda blah at evaluating talent though and not a lot came from all that.

Good work? The Skins have been to the playoffs twice and won their division twice. And handed the Ram's a hearty L last year in week 2. While the Rams have done what exactly...?

Hmmm interesting dilemma for my Rams. Carson Wentz seems to be more highly touted, but I was taught to never trust a ginger. Goff meanwhile has the Hollywood good looks, but supposedly also has Alex Smith baby hands. Need my fellow Los Angeles Ram lifelongs to weigh in on this.
I attend NDSU but wish I lived in LA. My hot take: Wentz is the ginger god.
The Browns weren't taking a QB at 2 so the trade helps them by making sure anyone they actually wanted will be on the board. And it solidifies that they have the last guaranteed spot for one of the QBs which could increase thr pick's trade value. I think it's smarter to roll the dice on RG3 than make a big reach for one of the QBs this year. None of them are good enough. Trade or take best available. And at some point in the draft get me Josh Doctson.

If I'm in the AFC South, I'm a little unnerved by the haul that the Titans got for this trade. With a competent GM and Mariota as your QB, they should contend for the division.
Racist.
Or rather gingerist.

LA fans are used to accepting mediocrity. A perfect fit!
This trade is why Im happy the Texans spent money on Brock than give away half their draft this year and a third of it next year. Rams went from 15 to 1, Texans had to go from 22 to top 3.
Texans are not in "cap hell" this year or will be next year. Fully expect Hopkins to be extended before the start of training camp

People exaggerate these kinds of trades. Yeah it wasn't a move I would make but that's mostly because I don't think there is a clear cut franchise QB out there, but if the Rams think that guy is Wentz or Goff then it's not the worst thing in the world. People acting like they will be unable to field a team or something, they are giving up like 4-5 potential players, off a 53 man roster, over the next three years. It's not some franchise crippling move.

I'm happy with the rams trade but I'm a cowboys fan and now the titans are out of the way
2 QBs should be gone now
the browns would kill to be the rams

if I were Goff I'd take that as a threat.

What are the Chargers gonna do? I don't know about their needs. Tunsil or Ramsey?

Are the Rams having a press conference? They should just announce the pick.
LOL
All this noise today for a dumbass move. In the basement for at least the next 4 years. Fisher just sign that pink slip

I'm not a big Wentz guy, so needless to say I think this move is desperate and awful
I agree
They need offensive line help so bad, but they can trade down and get Stanley or Conklin and then draft the best interior OL with whatever they get for moving down. I don't think anyone trades up for Tunsil, but Ramsey and Jack could be in play. Gonna be an active draft night, I hope

Having Case Keenum as your starting QB should make you desperate.

I'd take Goff over Wentz anyways
Love Wentz but he cant start this year, at all. Just dont.
Of course Case Keenum is your starter right now so.....

Just because you loved Wentz dosent been he would have been the pick....

The pressure to play Wentz in LA will be MASSIVE
Kubes is making calls right now to bring Case to Denver

If I'm Dallas I'm on the phone with SD asking what they might want for swapping picks. Someone like the Eagles trading up and swooping our guy would be awful
Agreed and it will more than likely be his downfall. Sigh....
This is great for the Browns in all honesty. If one team is determined to get Wentz or Goff the Browns are firmly in the driver's seat

As much as I love getting these jokes off (and I really really do), in all seriousness no one will complain about this trade from the Rams' perspective if the QB they bring in performs well just like no one would have complained about the Washington NFL Franchise mortgaging the farm on RGIII had he worked out.
In this league, the gap between teams that reliable starters and the ones that don't is HUGE. Unless you have a historic defense, you won't be able to overcome that gap with any of the 21 other dudes on the field. See: Justin James Watt
If the Rams really think that they see a guy who can be their starter for the next decade in this draft, then I don't have a problem with them doing whatever it takes to get him.

JJ Watt for the 2nd pick seems like a fair trade! Throw in Weeden and it'll be even better
There will be interest but the Rams hold all the cards in that. They slapped a first round tender on Case just minutes after Houston signed Brock for a reason

Hell RG3 ended up flaming out after 2 years and that trade still didn't destroy the Redskins the way people predicted it would have. At the end of the day you are giving up a handful of players (rookies at that) over the next few years, most of which are out of the first round, which means they are largely crap shoots to begin with. It might hurt your depth a bit but it's not going to set your franchise back a decade.
Shit you gotta draft him now
I am only glad Eagles didn't considering what they have tied up in Bradford and Chase.
This trade, and the compensation, wouldn't bother me 1 bit last year or even this year had the Eagles not retained Bradford.
