Do you think the Rams could have gotten the 39th pick for less? If so, why do you think they gave up as much as they did?

Obviously, I have no way of knowing. Most outside observers seem to think so, though. Many think the Rams overpaid by a lot. Just going by the value charts, they gave up a lot more than the pick was valued. A third instead of a second would still have been a slight overpay, but more equitable (again, based on the value charts). But Les wanted his guy and paid what he felt he had to pay to get him, and I'm good with that. I much prefer being aggressive than passive and it's hard to argue with the results from this bunch, so it amounts to minor quibbling. We're basically talking about the difference between a second and a third, and I won't lose any sleep over that. smiling smiley

  Maybe the Rams just didn't want to dink around with it anymore

  It's the Ghost of Bobby Wagner, and I'm OK with that

RantoulRam51April 30, 2024 08:53AM

  Yep & Les has mentioned that often !

  Fleeced? No. Short end of the stick? Yes.

  Can’t really put point values in a vacuum….

Rampage2K-49April 30, 2024 09:08AM

  Good analysis

NewMexicoRam46April 30, 2024 09:14AM

  Fleeced? No. Overpaid? I guess, in theory.

  The math may sound good, but if you listen to GMs it simply doesn't work that way

RockRam60April 30, 2024 11:30AM

  It plays a role --- but even so, as you know it's a guideline

JimYoungblood5344April 30, 2024 01:10PM

  Yes, gave a 2nd and 5th for Faulk

  Funny, not there, a little caveat --- Dolphins offered a #1 for Faulk and Colts rejected it

JimYoungblood5341April 30, 2024 01:19PM

  I didn't know it was only "no" answers
