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.
I don't think that is the case at all...they saw a chance to get a much better corner and did what was necessary to get it done.
No one is going to ask Peters to shut down one half of the field the way Ramsey can.
