moving on from Peters and trading for Ramsey just seems shortsighted imo. Now we have to pay a fortune to extend Ramsey, which leaves us with very little ammo to address needs across the board, needs which cannot be relieved with 1st rd picks the next two years! I know, I know...now Ill get posts about how Snead is so brilliant at finding gems in 2nd rds and later so not having 1st rd picks doesn't really matter, because a 2nd rd pick in Snead's genius hands are like a 1st rd pick for all the other teams in the league. yeah right!

knocking down straw men. Congrats!

I don't think anyone has argued that not having a 1st round pick next year won't matter but it does help to have a silver lining of the Rams being more successful in mid rounds than average. How bad would things be if they were worse than average?

I agree on the Peters/Ramsey swap. We sold low on Peters. And that was probably b/c of Wade and his inability to optimally use him in his scheme but now that Wade is gone it feels like more of a waste. You get rid of a player b/c of the DC...and then you get rid of the DC. That's the definition of shortsighted thinking.
