early 2nd

We paid a 2nd and then accepted a 6th or Gaines.

Gaines was worth, a 5th or maybe a low 4th.

the underselling of Gaines by maybe a round (give or take) meant getting Watkins for a 2nd rather than a 1st.

Plus the insurance of the 3rd if we cannot get a deal done

It was similar to Faulk, Aeneas, Turley...getting a top quality player for a 2nd and some change.

Yeah, agree pretty much on this. A couple of notes...

I doubt they would have gotten more than a 5th for Gaines. A 4th at any number seems high for him.

There is no guarantee of getting a 3rd for Watkins if he leaves. First, he has to sign a big deal with someone else. Then, the Rams can't sign a big time free agent themselves.

If both of those things happen, then they get a 3rd.

I'm gonna hold you personally responsible.

  Watkins was worth, IMO, a late 1st

  I think the question is: how often does a #1 WR come available?

RockRam341August 14, 2017 12:22PM

  The point is, how often does a young, healthy #1 WR

  Maybe those comparisons would be valid ...
