And sometimes you set you sights on Bobby Wagner and come home with Isaiah Pead.

Had to chuckle and cry at the same time for this masterpiece of a one liner.

Can look at this question a few ways.
How good is a Rams draft as a whole?
There has been 1st round busts and 1st round wins. Is a 1st round bust equivalent to drafting poorly by trading down a 2nd rounder for many picks?

Ultimately, I view the draft as a numbers game after round 2. So the more draft picks you have in rounds 3-7, the higher hit rate you'll get for a winner.
If your team can't draft well in general.. like the Jets, then it doesn't matter.

  Trading down as philosphy is good, standing pat is good-it's situational
