It's important to have dreams. It's especially important around the time of the NFL draft, an event that carries with it the highest of football-fan hopes.

Some will spend another lonesome year talking to the moon. You never know which of your dreams may come true.

They spent this year's first-rounder trading up for Goff last year, so now all of their dreams are tied to his success. New coach Sean McVay is just excited to have a bunch of new players who are closer to his own age.
