There have taken very few Ram's picks in YEARS that you can say were not consensus choices by all the 'experts', and at the spot they were chosen.

One of the things we can't debate... no way to quantify it, is 'bad luck'. We've have more than our share. And NO, not speaking directly about GRob - (for the board, not you zn).

My key point is that GR is not the only 1st round OL in recent years who has struggled. Turns out the spread makes it as hard to judge linemen as it is to judge qbs and WRs.

Yeah there are whole years where if the Rams didn't have bad luck they wouldn't have any luck at all. In 2011, according to Football Outsiders, the Rams had the single most injured offense since 2002, and that's on top of losing 10 CBs (10 ). That year Clemens signed with them late in the season, started 11 days later, and...got injured.

Then when was the last time we have heard of a team that lost BOTH its starting LOT and starting QB to re-injured knees in the same year?

People may reckon it in differently but bad luck has been part of the mix on and off there for a while.
