...and I was declared a silly person!!
Ramsey pollHere's why it's a good deal...
I thought the Rams would pick a CB in the first round of the 2020 anyway. Heck, I had the Rams drafting 2 rookie CBs in the first & 2nd round this coming year cause we're losing Peters & talib. The Rams were gonna draft a CB at number 1 anyway this year. imo
Most likely a mid round/ 1st rounder pick for an
unproven CB.
Would you use a single 1st round pick for caliber player like Ramsey?? Maybe an additional 2nd?? If so, then the this trade makes a lot of sense.The real cost was one EXTRA 1st round pick - since we'd expend one on Ramsey anyway - if there was a player like him that fell to us in the mid-first round this coming 2020 draft.
So, that is like getting a Top 5 pick in the mid round and we're only giving up
2 extra picks for one of the BEST CBs in the NFL.
Disregard the 4th rounder - that's a mid level roll of the dice.
As I posted earlier (that for some reason no one got)
I see this as follows:

If we make the playoffs this year then we draft no higher than 21st. That's worth 800 on the draft value chart. The following year it is worth less due to the time value of the draft, but lets be conservative and say 600, assuming we make the playoffs in 2020.
That's a total of 1400 which equates to the 8th pick in the draft overall.
Ramsey is clearly worth the 8th pick in any draft.
Note: a 4th round pick two years out is worth about 30 and in the noise in this calculus
So, to agree with you, it’s as if we traded up in next years draft using our 1st rounder and the following years 1st rounder and got Ramsey at #8 overall. Only we have him this year as well.
There is no doubt that Ramsey is better than any risk of a player that goes at #8 next year. (And #8 is a high number IMO)
The downside is the cap issue. Hopefully, the NFL raises the cap ceiling.
